    Anti-lock braking system failure. Pump on anti-lock braking system continues to run causing pump failure unless customer disconnect fuse at panel. Upon disconnecting fuse the anti-lock braking system is useless as is the traction control feature. All lights, abs, traction assist, brake become illuminated on dash board. I feel this is a hazardous condition due to the driver not having the anti-lock brakes or traction…

    A problem with corrosion on the front wheel anti-lock sensors. Making you feel like the brakes are failing at slow speeds when stopping. My understanding is that this is already a "recall" issue in canada. My dealer in a small town noted he has fixed 8 of these already this month alone. *nm

    Abs ebcm shorted causing abs failure, abs dummy light to come on, and abs pump to run incessantly. Had to pull fuse on abs to prevent abs pump wear/failure, which caused brake dummy light to come on - could not tell at the time if this was due to removed fuse or actual brake problem. Dealer cost to replace is $1100 although this is obviously a common problem with this unit (on many vehicles) - am having part…

    Abs sensor bad, causing improper braking, causing vehicle to not stop at slow speeds. Happens almost every time brakes are applied at slow speeds. Removing the abs fuse is the only way to stop the malfunction short of an overly expensive repair. Life safety issue without working brakes. *nm

    My 2001 chevrolet tahoe lt 4wd would have its abs brakes engage at speeds of 3 to 7 mph. Thi happened hundreds of times and cause it to become difficult to stop the vehicle at times. The problem was fixed by replacing the abs speed sensors. I am aware that gm has a recall for canadian trucks regarding this same problem, however i was required to pay for the repairs out of my own pocket.
