Air Brake Wheel Speed Sensor problems of the 2001 GMC Sierra

I was involved in a crash where I think the brakes on my 2001 GMC Sierra failed to stop my vehicle in time. I rear-ended a pickup truck, which hit a Toyota, which then hit a Jeep. I know there has been a recall on abs front wheel speed sensors, yet my VIN was not included in the recall. Nhtsa should force gm to recall all trucks, regardeless of location, and have the abs system properly fixed (not just clean the sensors!!).

Abs activates just before comming to complete stop. (5-8mph) abruptly extending stopping distance. Problem showed up after truck was not driven for 4 days. Probably allowing corrosion to develope. Virginia did use large quantities of salt this year for ice and snow removal. Currently experiencing this problem. Not yet corrected. Will see if removal, cleaning and lubrication of wheel sensors will solve problem.

I own a 2001 GMC Sierra 4 wd pick-up with 45,000 miles that experienced anti-lock failure. The system would start pulsating at low speeds. I had many close calls(smashed in to my garage door once) before pulling the fuse as advised by the gm dealer. After further investigation I found that most everyone that I know with 99-2002 year gm vehicles had their fuses pulled as well. I called gm previously regarding other brake problems (anti-lock pump failure)(gm rotors that only last 6,000 mies) and the arrogant customer service personel try to convince you that they haven't had any complaints about their brake parts or systems and won't cover anything even though we know they are liars. I saw the NHTSA investigation notice and wanted to give my two cents. Thanks for making these crooks correct a dangerous situation.

Abs front speed sensor right hand(passenger) side failure. When applying brakes our 2001 GMC Sierra z71 at speeds below 5mph would act like the abs systems was kicking in for slippery road conditions. This would cause us not being able to stop when we would of liked to of stopped. This truck has only 35,000 miles of adult driven, easy, mostly non-town driving, so the brakes are not continually being applied. This is a very scary situation and we had to park this truck until we were able to get it into the shop and have it repaired. Cost of repair $391. 36.

Anti-locking brakes - problem with abs brakes - as brakes applied on dry or wet surface, the worst brakes got, no matter if light or hard touch or slow or fast speed. GMC sierrra (2001) was brought in for repair after brakes failed causing slow speed collision with spouses pu truck in my driveway resulting in no damage or injuries. Replaced one speed sensor (left front wheel) and cleaned other at my expense ($148. 60 for parts, labor charge waived - mileage 35416). 2nd complaint or request - dragging brakes or locking and pulling when applied 3rd complaint or request - remove all four wheels and check brakes - results - repair include parts & labor at my expense - (mileage 41073) machine two front and two rear rotors and replace front and rear calipers plus free up slidders (parts $272, unknown breakdown on labor cost above and beyond).
