05068a product safety recall front wheel speed sensor corrosion. My vehicle was serviced for this recall in 2006 which involved removing and cleaning the abs sensor and reinstalling it. No redesign was created to improve this flawed design. I'm having the same failures described and covered in this recall. While moving at slow speeds in dry conditions abs kicks in and increases my stopping distance. I hit a parked car in a parking lot due to this defect. My vehicle was in motion at <5mph on dry pavement when the breaks went into 'abs mode' and hit a stationary parked car. Luckily no one was hurt. When I contacted GMC I was told that this would not be covered under the recall because it was already serviced for this recall in 2006 and that the issue was therefore closed. In my case the original recall was not adequate and my car breaks still failed even though serviced in 2006. I hope this doesn't start to occur with all of the vehicles that were serviced ~10 years ago which is why I'm filing this complaint. . Read more...
