Description of the problem | The brakes on my year 2000 gmc safari passenger van failed while i was coming to a stop and an intersection. I was traveling at approximately 10 mph. I narrowly avoided a collision by turning onto a grassy median. The brake pedal pulsated several times and the pedal then dropped. I could not stop the vehicle using the brake pedal. The van is well maintained and has 36,000 miles logged. The repair shop diagnosed the problem as a failed wheel speed sensor. The hub and bearing assembly and the speed sensor were replaced. It has now come to my attention that a recall is in effect for this part - front hub/bearing assembly and the wheel speed sensor - on 2002 model year chervrolet tahoe vehicles (letter dated october 2005 from chevrolet). I strongly recommend investigating these questionable parts on all gems vehicles. It is my belief that the current tahoe recall should be expanded to all vehicles with these parts. *jb |
