NHTSA Complaint #11245735 — 2001 CHEVROLET redundant SILVERADO 2500

THIS VEHICLE HAS ABS ACTIVATING BETWEEN 3MPH AND 10MPH WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THERE IS NO CONDITION WARRANTING THE NEED FOR ABS (E.G. WET OR ICY ROADS) WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THERE IS NO CODES OR DASHBOARD LIGHTS FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUES DOES INCREASE THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON DIRT ROADS, OR WHEN HAULING HEAVY LOADS. GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND IT IS CAUSED BY RUST AROUND THE ABS SENSORS. THERE IS A RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V379000) FOR VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE, BUT DESPITE MATCHING THE MAKE, MODEL, YEAR, GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION AND THE VERY SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS, THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR SOME REASON. GM HAS TOLD ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND HOPE THAT MAYBE SOMEDAY THE RECALL WILL BE UPDATED TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE.
