NHTSA Complaint #10149925 — 2001 GMC SIERRA

BRAKES WORKING POORLY AT SLOW SPEEDS AND ABS ENGAGING ON DRY PAVEMENT AT STOP SIGNS. REPLACED ALL PADS AND ROTORS, STILL LITTLE CHANGE IN BRAKING. TOOK VEHICLE TO PRECISION AUTO IN MAYVILLE WI, TO HAVE THEM CHECK BRAKES. TECHNICIAN KEITH PASTORIUS RECOMMENDED REPLACING ABS SENSORS AND HUB ASSY'S ON BOTH SIDES AS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE TRUCKS. CHARGED $60.00 FOR SCAN TOOL DIAGNOSTICS. (INVOICE#7964) I DID RESEARCH ON THE WEB AND FOUND RECALL 05V379000 MATCHING SAME SYMPTOMS I HAVE. I TOOK VEHICLE TO HOLIDAY AUTO, FON DU LAC WI THEY SAID IT WAS DEFINITELY THE SENSORS CORRODED, BUT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED YET IN THE RECALL. THEY FOUND "DOCUMENT 1748482-WHEEL SPEED SENSORS NEED TO BE CLEANED." THEY TRIED TO REMOVE SENSORS, AND THEY BROKE. CHARGED ME $200.00 AND SAID IF THE RECALL INCLUDES MY VEHICLE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, I COULD BE REIMBURSED. (INVOICE#257356) JAN 27 2006. I FEEL THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED AS A WARRANTY RECALL (AS DID THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALER) BECAUSE SYMPTOMS AND DEFECTIVE PARTS ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH OTHER RECALL VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR, AND WHEN THE DEALER DROVE THE VEHICLE IN THEY ALMOST WENT THROUGH THE SERVICE BAY DOOR FROM POOR BRAKING. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY INVESTIGATING YOU DO ON MY ISSUE. I WILL BE GLAD TO HELP WITH ANY OTHER INFORMATION IF NECESSARY. *JB
