I'm having the same problem as outlined in the federal safety agency campaign id number: 05v379000. I called gm, they said my vehicle was not included in the recall. I registered a complaint. They said it may be included at a later time.
Truck had 41000 miles and the gas gauge started jumping from empty to full. Around 44000 miles the ABS brake light on the dash appeared, took to dealer, said it was the sensor at/near the center bottom of engine and was common , it would cost me around $1000.00 to have it repaired or wait to see if it was recalled and just drive my truck using the hyd brakes only. I have been doing this. Had only the man. Warranty that ended at 36 k. Very disappointed, very long.
Chevy silverado z71 4x4 in november 2005, I had an accident due to the ABS not functioning correctly, while pulling into a parking space lightly applying my brakes the ABS started to chatter and I could not stop fast enough and hit a light poll with the right side fender and bumper. I got out to look to see why I slid, but the surface was clean and dry. I was puzzled, on the drive home it happened again this time coming to a stop and again lightly applying the brakes the ABS shuttered, this time stopping into cross intersection traffic. I was now scared and the slower I drove the worse it was, I approached a school zone in my neighborhood and a child ran accross the street and again I braked but I could not stop quick enough and struck this child, not seriously but enough to knock him down. I got home parked the truck and have not driven it since. I have not taken it to the shop because last year I spent a lot of money at the chevy dealer getting a complete brake job, and several service items costing thousands and I was just tapped out and I figured I would wait till I get some money. I heard the other night on the news about a recall on this very issue so I contacted my dealer and they stated that my VIN number [xxx] is not included in the recall for the ABS speed sensor problem. [xxx] *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

The emergency brake has been used very rarely, but with just over 40k on it they eventually faded out enough to fail inspection. The dealership advised me that I must have drove with it on. I never used it, yet they collected over $200 to repair a defect. Over time I noticed the tension progressively weakened. Rusting on the rotors is extremely common, yet gm ignores the problem. I was told by the dealership on multiple occasions that it was from condensation. It causes premature failure of the brake pads & a rotor replace as a resolution(turning alone doesn't remove the rust). My other family member have had all the exact issues with the same type trucks(three different 2000 gmc/chevy). My rotors will be replaced in the summer, however my braking is reduced due to rust wearing the pads unevenly.
Wheels on 2000 chevy silverado were squelling and chirping while driving. Truck has 54,000 miles on it. Took truck to brake specialist who found all rotors and calipers badly rusted. 2 calipers were frozen up. They advised gm used rotors w/o chromium in them to retard rust. Parts are being repaired at this time. Estimated repairs just under $1900.00. I have asked for the parts to be given to me. Updated 12/22/05.

General motors 2000 silverado truck-brake problems-owner financed repairs-rear brakes and timing belt ($1,800 dealer)-most recent front brakes-rusted rotors-retailer replaced ($200). Suspect defective materials manufactured by gm resulted in equipment failures. Dealer should be responsible to refund repair costs to consumer.
I am writing to seek some assistance with an inferior product produced by gm. I have a chevy 2000 silverado z71 pick up that has piston slap starting at around 15k miles and progressively worsened which the dealer states is normal wear. This expensive vehicle also has a rear end bang into drive and then reverse again the dealer states is normal. Recently I fixed a snapped cable for the drivers window which the same kind of cable was recalled for the tail gate cables. I have replaced recall items for the tail gate cables, drive shaft yolk and the ABS sensors to which it is still not functioning properly. All of which when presented to the dealer and the response was it is normal, until the recall occurred. It seems the policy of a company which creates an inferior product is to state, "it is normal" to the consumer until the government steps when enough people complain and makes the dealer own up to the problems with the products and finally treats the consumer with more compassion, and to some degree "decency". With the many problems with this vehicle the government needs to step in and help the consumer with the dealership resistance to fix the problems caused by more concern for profit than quality.
While traveling at very low speeds vehicle's ABS system kicks in and vehicle will not stop in a timely manner.
Dt: the contact states there is a the federal safety agency recall campaign 05v379000 concerning the antilock brakes.

Anti lock brakes kicking in at speeds under 10 MPH making it difficult to come to a stop. 2000 silverado.
I saw a news article about gm vehicles having problem with the ABS at low speeds. I have a 2000 chevrolet silverado 2500, and I have to admit my vehicle has had this problem. The problem is only at low speeds. It is very concerning to me, especially when I want to stop and the vehicle will not allow me to. I have not had any accidents-yet, but I am certain accidents will occur as a result of this problem. I noticed a recall for this in some states, but not mn.
Abs control module failure-2000 chevrolet silverado 1500- I have been the sole owner of above vehicle and throughout the course of owning it, the ABS light would intermittently activate. At times during slow speed stops, the ABS pump would activate on its own. When I inquired about this at a local service station, I was told my wheel sensor was probably dirty. After cleaning, the light would go out and then come back on. Now with less than 65,000 miles on the vehicle, the ABS light is constantly on, I checked with the dealership and I'm told the ABS control module is dead...$1300 estimate for repairs. Checking online at this forum, http://www.4x4review.com/discussions2/robots/1346.asp, I see that several of us have had the same problem with no assitance from gm about an obvious defect in their product that directly effects the safety of it's owners. Please advise of the status of this complaint and any resolutions.
Dt: the contact stated the ABS sensor has been replaced twice. This failure almost caused two accidents. Both ABS sensors malfunctioned within 10,000 miles. The dealership replaced the first sensor because it was oxidized to the hub assembly. The second sensor was cleaned. There was a the federal safety agency recall campaign 05v379000 concerning the anti lock brakes, but the contact's state was not included in the recall. *ak the tire were cupped and had to be replaced due to a vibration coming from the vehicle. Updated 01/11/06.
Problem: ABS brake activation at low speed. It takes longer to stop causing safety concerns here. Brought in to shop and they thought could fix the problem by removing and cleaning sensors and surrounding area due to excessive rust build up. They wound up replacing both sensors. A very costly repair. I am aware of your recall on this problem but gm says my vehicle is not affected even though it is in the affected vehicle manufacturer date. Very disappointed in gm's response.
Dt: the contact had the federal safety agency recall campaign id # 05v379000 concerning anti lock brakes. Recall repairs were performed. However, the repairs have not corrected the problem. At low speed the vehicle stopped, and there was a howling noise from the brakes. The ABS light illuminated. He returned to the dealer that performed the recall repairs, and the mechanic was unable to diagnose the problem.
I have had repeated problems with the anti-lock brakes on my chevy silverado pickup. I realize there is an active recall on this issue (05v379000) but chevrolet has not acknowledged that my vehicle needs to be included in this recall. I have already spent in excess of $600 and now need additional work done on my vehicle related to this problem and would like to be reimbursed as well as having the new work done at no cost to me.
Dt: the contact stated the rear brake pads wore out unevenly and too quickly. The dealer said the rear brake pads needed to be replaced. The work has not been done.
