| Dt*: the contact stated while braking from various speeds, the anti-lock brake system did not engage and the brake pedal went almost all the way to the floor of the vehicle. this caused an extended stopping distance and nearly caused a crash. there was a nhtsa recall #05v379000 which pertains to the hydraulic anti-lock service brakes. the vehicle was not included in the recall due to the vin. the pcv valve and fuel filter were replaced. the rear brake pads were replaced and the rotors were machined, the rotors were eventually replaced, there was noise coming from the front end. the intermediate steering shaft was dry. updated 01/09/07. *jb | |||

| The other day i heard a grinding noise on the drivers side of the truck. i knew it wasn't the brake pads since i had changed them a few months ago.it turned out to be the wheel bearings.these are a sealed system and not able to service them on either side. the system has to be replaced. i asked the parts store about these ,and he said common problem and if not fixed , the rotor and bearing assembly could snap off and create and accident. i had a 2000 chevy silveraldo 1500 that had the same problem. | |||

| Stopping the vehicle, the anti-lock brakes would kick in at around 3 to 5 miles per hour and the vehicle would not stop, would roll a few more feet. almost hit a woman and child in cross walk, had to stand up on brakes. this not stopping happened 5 or 6 times, this was the came reaction as in 2005 recall, called gm. gm chevrolet customer assistance center said, go and get this problem confirmed by a gm dealership, did oct. 9, '08 and they said corrosion build in same area, but because right front hub was replaced with a non gm part (after market part) they have no responsibility. this hub came with the sensor attached. in 2005 my 2002 chevrolet silverado was issued a recall for severe corrosion area between the front hub/bearing assembly and the wheel speed sensor. they found the left side sensor was missing an o-ring, they installed under the recall. the vehicle is doing the same thing and a local dealership service department confirmed this same corrosion problem. called chevrolet customer assistance center oct 10, 08. gm chevrolet customer assistance center called me monday oct, 20, '08 and said that once the recall was fixed, (how did they fix corrosion) the same problem is now my problem. when i dropped off the vehicle the brakes were bad, when i picked it up at the end of the day they were 10 time worse, really unsafe to drive. they did not charge me a dime, said that they would work it out with local rep. i will get the vehicle fixed, but how does this correct the problem? *tr | |||
