INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE ALMOST RESULTED IN ACCIDENT. HUB CORROSION CAUSES ABS FAILURE AND WAS SUBJECT OF RECALL # 05V379000 (NHTSA ACTION # PE05020) COVERING 1999 TO 2002 MODEL YEARS. SAME DESIGN SEEING SAME PROBLEM ON SUBSEQUENT YEARS. GM TSB # 03052007-D COVERS DESCRIPTION FOR 1999 TO 2006 MODEL YEARS, BUT "SPECIAL (WARRANTY) POLICY" ONLY COVERS 1999 TO 2002. TRIED WORKING WITH GM BEFORE REPAIR AND RECEIVED CASE # [XXX]. AFTER REPAIR WAS COMPLETED, WAS TOLD BY DISTRICT MANAGER (PATRICK) THAT REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED DUE TO AGE OF VEHICLE. DEALER CONFIRMED WITH GM CUSTOMER REP (EDWARD) THAT TRUCK WAS LOW MILEAGE, NOT ABUSED, AND PASSED "MULTI-POINT" CHECK WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. PAID $212 OUT OF POCKET TO GET TRUCK RELEASED. IT IS IRONIC THAT IF THE TRUCK WAS 2 YEARS OLDER IT WOULD BE COVERED. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL MODEL YEARS, AFTER 2002, WITH THIS SAME HUB DESIGN! DISTRICT MANAGER ALSO SAID IF RECALL IS EXPANDED, THEY WOULD ISSUE REFUNDS TO PEOPLE WHO ALREADY PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR. WORK WAS PERFORMED AT SHEARER CHEVROLET, SHELBURNE RD., SOUTH BURLINGTON, VT ON 05-20-2010. THEIR PHONE # 802-658-1111, SERVICE REP WAS SANDY, INVOICE # [XXX]. [XXX] *TR
