I own a 2001 Chevy Silverado that has the same anti-lock brake problem as other Silverado. But I am told mine does not have the correct VIN numbers for the recall. So GM refuses to fix my vehicle, I do not believe I should have to pay for this repair when there is a recall out there for the exact problem on the exact vehicle. (GM recall # 05068)

Our 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500hd diesel 2wd pickup truck consistently experience false activation of the ABS on the drivers side front wheel at about 5 mph, causing the vehicle to be hard to stop and causing it to pull to the right. This has been happening since March 2005. We have had several near crashes because of this problem. We understand this problem is addressed by recall campaign 05V379000, but we never received a recall notice from GM. When we contacted GM about this recall, we were told that it is VIN specific, and that our VIN is not included. We were advised that we should take our vehicle to a GM dealer and pay for its diagnosis. If the dealer and GM agree that this problem should be fixed under recall 05V379000, then GM might reimburse us for the repairs. We do not think we should have to pay for diagnosis and repairs for a problem that GM is aware of and has issued a major recall. We believe that GM has omitted some smaller classes of vehicles to reduce its cost of this recall.

I have a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado VIN [xxx]. I am experiencing an ABS activation when applying the brakes at slow speeds. There is no ABS light that goes on, but I can feel and here the ABS activating. This is causing a greater stopping distance that is hard to estimate. This has caused me to come very close to hitting other vehicles, and people. This problem started roughly in November, and continues everytime the truck is used. I cannot give an accurate number of times this has happened, but it would be more than 50 times. Please help me. The dealer tells me there is a recall for these trucks, but when I call Chevy, they tell me my truck is not included. This truck was just purchased from a dealer that took it in as a trade.

At slow speeds the anti-lock brake kick in and causes me to loose control and making stopping distances longer. To correct the problem the wheel bearings and anti-lock sensors had to be removed and cleaned. NHTSA has a recall # for this problem (05V379000) but the recall does not cover the state of Minnesota.
