ANTI LOCK BRAKE SENSOR CORROSION CAUSES LOW SPEED BRAKING FAILURE. DRIVING AT LESS THAN 5 MPH WAS TERRIFYING. ALMOST HITTING PEDESTRIANS AT A CROSSWALK, ROLLING INTO AN INTERSECTION, AND ALMOST HITTING A STOPPED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY VERIFIED THE CORRODED SENSORS. THIS WAS A RECALLED ISSUE ALREADY COMPLIED WITH. NO HELP FROM GM. THEY SAID THE BURDEN WAS MINE. *KB

REFERENCE THE RECENT NEWSPAPER ARTICLE INVOLVING THE FAULTY FUEL GAUGES ON VEHICLES.. I JUST PURCHASED A 2000 GM SIERRA P/U TRUCK THAT I LATER FOUND HAD A DEFECTIVE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR INSIDE THE TANK. THINKING I HAD A 1/2 TANK OF GAS I GOT STRANDED ON A SIDE ROAD 22 MILES FROM HOME. IT COST ME A $1,000.00 TO REPLACE THE UNIT AS WELL AS THE FUEL PUMP WHICH ARE ONE UNIT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS COMMON ON ALL LARGE GM VEHICLES. *TR

THE ORIGINAL FLEXIBLE BRAKE HOSE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2000 GMC SIERRA VEHICLE FAILED RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF FRONT BRAKES. IT APPEARS THAT THE HOSE IS TOO LONG AND THE HOSE RUBBED ON THE RIM. THE DELCO REPLACEMENT THAT I PURCHASED HAS BEEN TOTALLY REDESIGNED. IT IS MUCH SHORTER AND THE CONNECTION TO THE CALIPER HAS TO BE ANGLED AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE, SO THAT THE WILL BE NO CONTACT WITH THE RIM. AFTER REPLACING THE PASSENGER SIDE, I CHECKED THE DRIVER'S SIDE HOSE AND FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM. THE HOSE SHOWS RUBBING IS OCCURRING. I WILL HAVE TO PUT A REPLACEMENT HOSE ON THAT SIDE ALSO. *LN
