Brake Sensor problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Suburban

Vehicle was serviced per recall below on 1/26/2006. Abs sensor was inspected and cleaned, but not replaced. Defect covered in recall is now being displayed by vehicle (braking distance is extended at low speed - caused by abs sensor malfunction). Vehicle is currently not driveable. Apparently the solution in the recall was not sufficient to address the problem. Dealer and Chevrolet refuse to address this problem. Recommend that the effectiveness of the recall solution be re-evaluated. Nhtsa action number: 05v379000 NHTSA recall campaign number: pe05020 make: Chevrolet model: Suburban manufacturer : general motors llc model year : 2001 component(s) : service brakes, hydraulic:antilock:control unit/module.

Abs system was serviced as part of 2006 recall campaign. Sensors were cleaned and returned to service. Please note that in 2006 when issue first surfaced, one week prior to recall, Chevrolet dealer quoted a price over $800. 00 to replace hubs. Then when recall was announced, they said the hubs could be cleaned. In November 2011 sensors failed again and hubs (housing sensors) were replaced. The recall campaign was not effective.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban 1500. The contact stated that the anti-lock brake sensor would independently engage when driving at speeds of at least 10 mph. When the abs would activate it would cause an unusual increase in stopping distance. The contact previously received notification of NHTSA campaign id number: 05v379000 (service brakes, hydraulic: anti-lock) but was advised by the dealer that because the vehicle was over 100,000 miles, they would not make repairs. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 65,000 and the current mileage was 113,000.

The NHTSA campaign id #l 05v379000 on my 2001 Chevrolet Suburban was performed in 2005 at the valenti auto mall in mystic, CT. The intent was to treat a gm recall no. 05068 to fix abs front hub sensors that would corrode. Supposedly they did this at 85,000 miles in 2005. In 2009, I have been having recurring abs issues and they replaced the inaccurate sensor signal at $675. Recurring issues they now need to replace the passenger side sensor at $675. The issue is that the sensor recall did not solve the problem, gm has stated the customer must pay for the very issue the recall called out, which was corroded senor hub assemblies and the customer must pay. This has been a very dangerous condition that gm/Chevrolet knew of and did not fix in an appropriate manner. The Suburban barely does not stop well at all and is very dangerous.

Initially purchased Suburban with 61,000 mi. Had no problems with anything. I received a notice from gm for a recall on 2001's for activation of abs braking system at slow speeds. Having no problems with it at the time I waited a few weeks before going to bergstrom chevy in neenah WI. I let them take the vehicle in the garage to do the recall work. 2 and a half hours later they called me from the waiting area and said it was ready. I drove away and continued to have no problems until approx. 14 months later when the abs started to activate at every stop at around 5mph. It continues to do this now and has since the summer of 2008. I contacted bergstrom and gm about the problem and they say they no longer do this recall work without charge. I looked at the bolt heads on the front brake calipers to see if they were marred by removal and there is no evidence that these bolts were ever removed for servicing the sensors. The facing of the bolts is still intact with no marking of any kind on these bolts so I am certain bergstrom never removed the calipers to clean the sensors. I am furious with gm and their products - I have always been a gm customer since beginning to drive in 1976 but with the products they've been producing in the last 10-15 years I will never buy another late model gm product. ( I am also having issues with the intake manifold on my 1998 Buick park Ave - another inferior gm product) it's no wonder the company is having financial difficulty with all the complaints I've been hearing about and experiencing with their products.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban. While driving 5 mph, the abs activated without warning and the stopping distance increased. As of September 24, 2007, the dealer had not inspected the vehicle. The contact believed that the abs wheel sensor caused the failure. The manufacturer stated that his VIN was excluded from NHTSA campaign id number 05v379000 (service brakes, hydraulic: antilock). The current and failure mileages were 219,000.

2001 chevy Suburban; abs activates at low speed. Taken to grossinger chevy for repairs on 11/23/05. Abs sensors replaced and fr rotors turned to remove corrosion which triggers sensors. Problem still persists; returned vehicle to dealer. Fr rotors turned again since small corrosion spot still evident. Now rotors at minimum thickness. Problem resolved - no charge for 2nd visit. Total repairs billed at 525. 76+tax.

The contact states when he applied the brakes the abs activated. This happened at lower speeds when the brakes were applied. On one occasion he panic braked and the vehicle would not stop. This resulted in the contact's vehicle hitting another vehicle. There was a recall for this type of vehicle, but the manufacturer said this vehicle was not included in the recall. The service dealer cleaned the abs sensors after the accident occurred. He assumed this was a safety problem. This corrected the problem.

2001 chevy Suburban 1500 lt, abs problem. Recurrence of failure of abs pump to deactivate. Pump runs continuously until it burns up. Replaced previously (not under warranty). Over $1000. At this time the abs fuse is pulled so pump won't burn up again, but I have no antilock brakes. Apparently a sensor or something is failing and causing an expensive repair.
