: updated 10/17/2006 - the vehicle wheel sensor failed due to corrosion on the abs sensors. This caused the abs to active while braking at low speeds, less than 5 mph. The vehicle would travel 5-20 feet before coning to a complete stop. This is caused when the wheel sensors lose output voltage on one or more wheels which tells the controller that the wheel is locked up and releases brake pressure so it wont continue to skid. This failure has caused the consumer to hit his garage door while pulling into his driveway. The consumer has pulled the fuse on the abs system.

Limited recall limits my safety! I had a recent close call in my 1996 GMC Suburban. The brakes began to anti-lock on dry pavement when anti-lock assistance was not required, thus greatly increasing my stopping distance. The brakes were not pressed hard; the anti-lock should not have engaged. It was a close call between my truck and the vehicle in front of me. Currently my Suburban is not covered under gm's recent limited recall. However, attention needs to be given to this situation; my truck needs to be covered. My concern is not a trivial, my safety and the safety of others is at hand. Gm should be more than happy to take care of a safety issue. I recently read an article in the detroit news about gm's recall of 1. 4 million 99-02 full size trucks and SUV's in 20 states. The recall concerns the anti-lock brake wheel hub sensor getting inaccurate readings. The article brought the severity and critical importance of this recall and my problem to my attention. Proper recall procedures need to cover all vehicles affected, not limited by mileage, age, or location. Safety needs to be the main concern, not a political or financial agenda of automakers. Thank you for your prompt attention to my concerns. . . Updated 07/01/14.

1999 GMC Suburban slt 1500 4wd. Failure of abs brake system sensors. This vehicle has 82000 easy miles on it, the problem is intermittent and ongoing. I read that this was a subject of a recall in canada, why not for USA?.

The contact stated when stopping at low speeds the abs will activate. The dealership said it happened because the abs sensor rusted. The repairs have not been made. The problem was the same as mentioned in NHTSA recall 05v379000 in the 1999-2002 models.

Consumer's car was pulling to right and braking to left. Took to dealer, and and they aligned front end, and did repairs on brakes and knuckles. The steering wheel wobbles when the vehicle comes to a stop. There was wind noise from right side of the vehicle. The engine idles rough due to dirty injectors. The vehicle vibrates at speeds of 80-90 mph due to bent wheel. The vehicle would not start due to a weak battery. The steering moans when turning due to failure of evo sensor on steering column.

These problems did not occur from an accident, but rather the workmanship of the vehicle. We have tried every avenue to get GMC to stand behind their automobiles and products, but were told it was not their problem. We just want someone in authority to help us with a car that is a lemon and was a danger to drive because of all the mechanical difficulties. Including: steering wheel sensor went out on a curve at 45mph, brakes went out after only 6 months of ownership, 2 altenators and a battery that would have left my wife and two kids stranded, air conditioner quit functioning at 20,000 miles, transmission went out at 45,000 miles, O2 sensors went out after the transmission, altenator went out again for third time, this was supposed to be warranty work, but said that they could not warranty since it fixed under warranty the first and second time. As you can see we have a valid complaint. When we went to try and trade the car off the transmission went out a 2nd time and we could not trade the car, even though the dealership in oklahoma city had a buyer. They were afraid to buy a car with so many problems, so we are left with a car that does'nt run 90 % of the time and no way of getting rid of it. We can't even get the loan amount out of the auto. We really need some help figuring out what to do. Your time is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Ken sutton.

Both the sensors for the brakes need to be replaced including the hubs. The Suburban doesn't feel like it is going to stop in time. I know someone who has the same year Suburban as I do who just had to have this done. It was also done at the same place where mine is in for service. He was told that there is a manufactures defect in the sensors. When I required about this I was informed the other vehicle may have been assembled at a different plant. He has apporximately the same mileage as I do. I feel that this is a defect. No one can explain to me why both sensors would need to be replaced at the same time.
