| I have been having a right front wheel sensor problem with my 2001 chevy impala. i have had this replaced 3 times and they have lasted less than a month each time. the chevrolet company has had no recall to finally solve the reason that it continues to go out. the problem affects my brakes and i have had close calls where my brakes grind and don't want to come to a complete stop when i need it to. i feel that this can ultimately be a dangerous issue as this is my main vehicle and i am on the interstate quite a bit. thank you for your time. *tr | |||
