I HAD MY TRUCK SERVICED IN DEC 2005 FOR THE RECALL PROBLEM.  THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM IS CORROSION AT THE ABS WHEEL SENSOR WHICH CAUSES THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN STOPPING WHICH IN TURN INCREASES THE STOPPING DISTANCE.  THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CANNOT BE NEGLECTED.  I HAD GONE TO THE BOB ROSS BUICK/GMC DEALERSHIP IN CENTERVILLE, OH ON 4/30/2009 ' ORIGINAL DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. THEY PERFORMED AN INSPECTION FOR $64.95 PLUS TAX AND 10% SHOP SUPPLIES CHARGE. THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE THE TRUCK WAS ALREADY SERVICED FOR THE RECALL, THAT I AM NOT COVERED TO RE-REPAIR/REWORK THE TRUCK FOR THE RECURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM.  I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER CARE AND WORKED WITH A REPRESENTATIVE NAMED AL AND THEN AFTER HE SAID HE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME FROM GM CORPORATE I WAS CONNECTED TO GM DISTRICT SPECIALIST DONALD HOWELL (1-800-790-5700 X41958).  DONALD ALSO EVENTUALLY SAID THAT GM WOULD NOT HELP WITH GETTING THE WORK PERFORMED.  THE SERVICE REQUEST # FOR MY CASE IS 71-758818423.  MY REQUIREMENT FOR RESOLUTION IS THAT GM REPAIRS THE ISSUE AT NO COST TO ME, MOST PREFERABLY BY REPLACING THE ABS WHEEL SENSORS WITH NEW ONES LESS LIKELY TO CORRODE.  I'M SURE THAT THE NEW PRODUCT DESIGN HAS THE CORROSION ISSUE IN MIND AND HAS FOUND A WAY TO AVOID IT.  AS THE REPAIR HISTORY OF MY VEHICLE SHOULD STATE, THE ABS WHEEL SENSORS WERE CLEANED AND THEN SPRAY PAINTED WITH A 'CORROSION RESISTANT PAINT' TO FIX THE ISSUE IN DEC 2005.  AS AN AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEER WHO WORKED FOR GM/DELPHI FOR 14 YEARS OF MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER, I KNOW THAT WHAT WAS PERFORMED PREVIOUSLY IS NOT A PERMANENT FIX.  I ALSO AM WILLING TO BET THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER WITH RECURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE.  HAD IT BEEN FIXED CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME ' WITH NEW ABS SENSORS - THEN THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT HAVE RECURRED.

THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AT THIS TIME AND I HAD TO PURCHASE GENUINE GM REPLACEMENT PARTS AND REPLACE BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARING AND SENSORS ON MY OWN DIME.  THIS FIXED THE FIRST ABS FAILURE.  THEN THE RECALL CAME OUT FOR JUST THE WHEEL SENSOR, NOT THE BEARING.  NOW 12K MILES LATER (TRUCK HAS 66K MILES) THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING IS NOW SO SLOPPY THAT THE ABS SENSOR WILL NOT READ THE HALL EFFECT.  THIS CAUSES THE LOW SPEED ABS FAILURE MODE AGAIN.  I HAVE PULLED THE ABS FUSE UNDER THE HOOD SO THAT THE LOW SPEED FAILURES STOP, BUT NOW THE TRUCK HAS NON FUNCTIONING ABS.    LASTLY, AFTER 12K MILES ON THE REPLACEMENT GM BEARINGS THERE IS SO MUCH SLOP IN THE BEARING THAT THE DEALER HAS SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO SAFETY REASONS.  THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL IS CLOSE TO FALLING OFF THE VEHICLE.  I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800 GMC TRUCK BY THE RECOMMENDATION OF MY DEALER AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HAS YET TO CONTACT THE DEALER FOR RESOLUTION IN THIS MATTER.  MY ONLY CHOICE IT TO REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARING AT MY OWN COST AND I HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT ONCE 12K MILES AGO ONLY TO HAVE THE FAILURE OCCUR AGAIN.  I WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE REPLACING THE WHEEL BEARINGS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS VEHICLES SERVICE LIFE TO MAINTAIN A VEHICLE THAT CAN SAFELY TRANSPORT MY FAMILY.  I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IS THIS VEHICLE REMAINING SAFE FOR ANY EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.  *JB  WHAT CAN NHSTA DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM?","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2002","productMake":"GMC","productModel":"SIERRA","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":10151238,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"02/25/2005","dateComplaintFiled":"02/26/2006","vin":"1GTHK23U62F","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"FACTORY INSTALLED DELCO BATTERY STARTED TO LEAK BATTERY ACID FROM POSITIVE TERMINAL.  *NM","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2002","productMake":"GMC","productModel":"SIERRA","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":10150348,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"07/01/2004","dateComplaintFiled":"02/15/2006","vin":"1GTEK14T52Z","components":"STEERING,SUSPENSION","summary":"THERE IS RATTLE/VIBRATION IN MY TRUCK'S STEERING COLUMN.
