Brake Antilock Wheel Speed Sensor problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe

My truck is having the exact same problem as noted in recall #05068, NHTSA campaign id number 05v379000, but they state my VIN number is excluded from the recall. This car was operated in michigan. At low speed, coming up to an intersection under 5 mph, for example, the abs kicks on and luches the car forward. I read this has to do with the wheel speed sensors. This has been happening and getting worse for the past year.

I was pulling into a local gas station and the abs cause me to not stop in time. . I ended up hitting the building. . . Cracking the brick work. . . The night before u notice the same thing. . . Hopping when I was at a slow speed trying to stop but this was very brief and I stopped. . . I looked on line and saw there was a recall for the wheel speed sensor. . This defect cause increase stopping distance. . . I then called Chevrolet to see if the recall affect my vehicle, but the only open recall was a head restraint. . I took it to a local chevy dealer to get it fixed, as I was driving there the abs light came on. . The code the pulled was for the front right wheel speed sensor. They did have the part available due to the recall which fit my vehicle, but yet mine was not recalled. . .

First recall NHTSA campaign id number : 05v379000 I have experienced unwanted anti-lock brake activation during low speed braking. This has occured several times in the past year (2012-2013), which would have resulted in a crash without evasive maneuvers and luck. I have called Chevrolet several times to ask about the original recall, which my vehicle was a part in. My vehicle was serviced in the first recall, which requires the technicians to inspect and clean the speed sensors. Well I guess the sensors have become dirty again and symptoms are reoccuring (vehicle has been in the "salt belt" area its entire life). Chevrolet will not service vehicle under current recall. I still see many of these popular vehicles on the road and think that their sensors may too become dirty again causing accidents. I think that it is due diligence for cheverolet to continue to "clean" these sensors since they have issued a previous recall and the only fix was to "clean" the sensor and surface. Thank you for your time.

I came out of my house, started my truck to warm it up . Then I drove to the corner of my block, and my brakes suddenly went all the way to the floor. I proceeded to add brake fluid not sure what the problem was . There was no response after pumping the brakes multiple times, my vehicle is an 02 chevy Tahoe . So I drove the car very slowly and cautiously back to the house. I looked up this problem on the internet . When I found that their were problems surrounding the speed sensor and breaking of this vehicle. I could have been getting on the highway when this occurred on thanksgiving day.

Failure of abs speed sensors causes unexpected increased stopping distance. Same symptoms as NHTSA campaign id number 05v379000. Occurs nearly every time you attempt to stop at a slow speed. Could be a bigger problem in slippery (I. E. Snow/ice) conditions. Abs safety component is to make braking safer, a failure of an abs component should not make things worse. The abs component should be "fail-safe. ".

My Tahoe was recalled for a brake sensor issue. (recall # 05v379000) tom gill Chevrolet in florence said they could not fix it because I lived in kentucky and not ohio. In the meantime they replaced a power steering pump for $700. They later called me and said I needed all new brakes, and if I let them do that (for $600 more) that they would fix my sensors for free. I declined and took my car to carx. They looked at my brakes and said they were fine. Then I went to pep boys and they also said my brakes were fine, only the (recalled) sensor was bad. I called general motors, and they said because I live in kentucky and not 5 miles away in ohio or 10 miles west in indiana, they would not fix it. This car gets driven in as much snow and ice as any in ohio if not more. I travel for business. I do not trust the brakes as the stopping distance varies in low speed. It's been going on for a long time but is getting much worse.
