• Unwanted low-speed abs activation investigation # PE05020

  In a letter dated august 29, 2005, gm notified odi that it was recalling certain model year 1999 through 2002 c/k pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles to correct a problem with anti-lock brake system (abs) wheel speed sensor corrosion that may result in unwanted abs activation and extended stopping distances during low-speed braking (recall 05v-379).Gms recall covers approximately 804,000 vehicles currently registered in the following 14 salt-belt states:connecticut, illinois, indiana, massachusetts, maine, michigan, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, and west virginia.The recall procedure will involve removing the sensor, cleaning the mounting surface, applying a rust inhibitor (zinc-x) to the surface, and reinstalling the sensor.If necessary, the sensor will be replaced. The population and failure report data given in this resume are for the full region that has been considered by odi as the salt-belt.That includes delaware, iowa, maryland, minnesota, missouri, wisconsin and the district of columbia in addition to the 14 states included in 05v-379.The states covered by gms recall have the highest incident rates for the subject condition, accounting for 91% of the incidents, but only 24% of subject vehicle sales in the united states.Odis analysis determined that 840 of the complaints, 244 of the crashes, and 16 of the injuries identified in this investigation occurred in those states.The resulting incident and crash rates are 96.2 and 28.0 per 100,000 vehicles respectively (note:rates are based on vehicle sales, not registered vehicles). The corresponding numbers in the excluded portions of the salt-belt are 399,000 vehicles, 81 incidents (20.3 per 100,000 vehicles), 3 crashes, and no injuries.The statistics in the remaining 30 states are 2,406,000 vehicles, 168 incidents (7.0 per 100,000 vehicles), 31 crashes, and one injury.Gm and odi are continuing to monitor the problem experience in states that are not included in the recall.Gm will provide odi with updated complaint, field report, and warranty data in november 2005.Odi and gm will review that data and assess the appropriateness of the current scope of the recall at that time.

The steering pump has plenty of fluid in the reservoir and has been changed regularly. All of the sudden all power assisted steering disappeared when turning to the left making parking nearly impossible causing a great safety concern as this is my only vehicle and now my wife cannot take the truck anywhere. According to other owners, it's a common issue caused by the booster valve sticking shut and when i inquired about repair, i was quoted a part cost of 300 bucks which i don't have at all. Hopefully enough folks report this issue resulting in action taken by nhtsa even though the vehicle is almost 20 years old.

The contact owned a 2002 chevrolet suburban. The contact stated that while driving at 40 mph, there were cicadas flying towards the front driver side windshield that obstructed the contact's visibility which caused the contact to crash into a utility pole. The air bags did not deploy. The contact was transported to the hospital by ambulance for injuries sustained. A police report was filed. The vehicle was first towed to a towing yard then towed to an auto body shop where the insurance company deemed it totaled. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and had sent out a field representative to inspect the vehicle and retrieved the event data recorder from the vehicle. The failure mileage was 260,000.

I was on the freeway there was traffic i went to slow down my brakes locked up on me my car fish tailed i released the brakes and they were still still locked. Caused me to slid at least 30 feet i was only going 35. Which caused me slam into the center divider

When driving my 2002 chevrolet suburban 1500 at speeds under 10 mph in bumper-to-bumper traffic, the abs independently activated. This happened in dry weather on a freeway. When the abs independently activated, the car vibrated and accelerated with difficulty and jerked. The brakes locked up, causing a tire to blow out. The car caught fire where the brakes had locked up the front right wheel. The fire commander who examined the car after putting out the fire and the mechanic who is repairing the car both explained that improper abs activation led to a rupture in the brake line, exposing the leaking brake fluid to the heat generated by the locked brakes. This vehicle is experiencing the same problems as indicated in nhtsa recall 05v379000 concerning the abs system but is not included in the recall due to the vin. The car had been taken to a gm dealer two months earlier (in july) with a complaint about the same problems with the abs system. The gm dealer did not mention the recall but made extensive (and expensive) repairs to the car. The car experienced the same problem again in september, when it led to the fire. This was not enough time or the right season for the abs to deteriorate from salt exposure since the july repairs. My car is probably excluded from the recall because it is registered in virginia. It should have been included because the car is registered in fairfax county, virginia, less than 15 miles from washington, d.C. And maryland. Fairfax county is further north than many parts of maryland and west virginia. The region has the same weather conditions, length of winter season, and exposure to salt as washington, d.C., west virginia, and maryland, which are included in the recall. Residents of the area frequently drive in these states, particularly in washington, d.C. And maryland, where many virginia residents work, shop, and seek entertainment.

When you push on the horn nothing happens, but the panic button on the remote makes the horn go off. It's not the horn under the hood, that is faulty, it is the switch inside the steering wheel burned up. I have asked multiple mechanics to fix this and they said it would take a whole day and the steering wheel and airbag would have to be removed. They said that they see this switch burn up all the time in gm steering wheels. It will cost a lot in labor and also parts. *tr

Chrysler cannot find the fuel rail in us or canada. I cant walk and had i not gotten disabled and had to go to canada, at families due to child and i being assaulted and injured. Have government documents showing we entered country due to statement above. Car not used, garaged for several years but turned on periodically so car would not die and fluids changed. Would have filed the lemon law back then! I am looking into arbitration ,ftc or media. I have contacted mechanics for receipts and testimony. Due to engine light never going off , air bag light,and gears would switch themselves and all dials would go crazy all this work has been done: new computer starter catalytic converter evap leaks, changed parts no breaks while driving, breakline broke gas cap, sensors muffler tires 4 new battery plus, plus, plus now no part, fuel rail discontinued. Car can go on fire if driven. Car only has 65,000 original miled chrysler cust. Svc, told me to sell it to someone else. Fuel rail discontinued , so they will go on fire?? Or sell for scrap? Cars are supposed to last more than 65,000.This is negligence and u have endangered my family more than once. Mechanic said lucky , cant drive at all. In pkg lot. Cant walk, need car. Trade it for one of similar value and mileage. Spent nearly 7,000. Fixing. Now disabled and dont have money. Also expect refund for radio recall.
