Brake Sensor problems of the 1998 Chevrolet Suburban

: the contact stated while driving 5 mph on normal road conditions and applying the brakes under normal braking conditions, the brakes increased in stopping distance. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who determined that the left front brake sensor needed to be replaced. After the vehicle was repaired, the contact noticed a NHTSA recall # 05v379000 regarding service brakes hydraulic:antilock. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN.

Abs brake system on the front driver's side wheel began having failures at very low speeds(under 10 mph) when the vehicle(1998 Chevrolet tahoe) was coming to a full stop at the end of the drive or when pulling to a stop. This was occurring over & over more more than a month. I contacted white-allen chevolet in dayton ohio and the service manager contacted the gm zone manager and gm would not warranty this repair saying that my vehicle did not fall under the recall years for this problem even though the problem was exactly the same as the recall issued for the same vehicle 1999-2002 ( mine is 1998). I finally had to have it done strictly because of my children's safety the day I made the appointment my daughter and I almost glided into traffic coming to a stop while taking her to school. The zone manager response to our claim was that my vehicle was not part of the recall and they will not have the repairs done as part of the recall even though the failure is the same defect according to the service manager. Service was supplied on 9/26/2005 at white-allen service order reads "checked abs system right front sensor failure due to low voltage output action taken : replaced left front hub and bearing parts: owner has the old replaced parts.

The consumer complained about abs brakes kicking in at low speeds. The service brakes and abs will not hold when the abs kicks in. The problem has been on going since November of 2004. The dealership cleaned and greased the brakes. They machined the rotors and replaced the left upper arm bushing. And they checked the abs sensors. The problem recurred. When she contacted them they said they could not find the cause of the problem. It started getting worse in July of 2005. She took vehicle to the dealership again. They replaced the sensor bushings and an idle arm. The problem is still occurring. She took it back to them. They replaced two rear drums, the sway bar bushings, the u joints, and t tightened the transfer case. However, the problem recurred. A recall for the 2000 models was issued. When she contacted the manufacturer, they said that this model year vehicle was not included in the recall. The contact had to have the service brakes replaced before. The dealership replaced the rotors and the pads. The contact felt that it was a result of normal wear and tear. .
