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 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.
