Abs activation at slow speed, often when turning. Paid for wheel speed sensor cleaning and reinstall 12/14/2004. Recall for same problem performed 11/16/2005. Symptoms have returned, dealer will not perform recall procedure a second time at no cost. Slow speed abs activation increases stopping distance, and can cause a crash. *tr

I have a 2000 gmc sierra 1500 sle pickup truck. At 8 years old - one of my brake lines failed while driving on the highway. This was due to extensive corrosion on the under carriage of the car.

As an aside, much of the rest of the truck is incredibly corroded on the…
