RECURRENCE OF ANTILOCK-BRAKE PROBLEM WHICH WAS CAUSE OF AN EARLIER GM RECALL OF THIS SAME VEHICLE. EARLIER RECALL RESULTED IN A 1.5 HOUR TASK TO REMOVE, CLEAN AND RE-INSTALL ABS SENSOR WITH A RUST-PREVENTATIVE APPLIED. THE SAME PROBLEM IS RECURRING NOW AND GM CUSTOMER SUPPORT REFUSES TO RE-ADDRESS THE PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE. BACKGROUND: IN APRIL 2005, THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION OPENED AN INVESTIGATION OF MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION GM PICKUPS AND SUVS IN 20 STATES BECAUSE OF QUESTIONS OVER THE ANTILOCK BRAKES. IN 2005, GM SPOKESMAN ALAN ADLER SAID ROAD GRIME CAN WEDGE ITS WAY INTO A PLASTIC PIECE THAT COVERS THE ABS SENSOR NEAR THE WHEEL HUB, RESULTING IN SALT CORROSION. THE CORROSION LEADS THE SENSORS TO ACTIVATE THE ABS SYSTEM AT SPEEDS OF 3.7 MILES PER HOUR TO 10 MPH, REQUIRING A LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE. GM SAID THERE HAVE BEEN 228 CRASHES REPORTED THROUGH THE END OF MAY 2005, INCLUDING 10 MINOR INJURIES. THE COMPANY RECALLED ABOUT 150,000 PICKUPS IN EASTERN CANADA IN NOVEMBER 2004 FROM THE SAME MODEL YEARS BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION IN THE ANTILOCK BRAKES. ADLER SAID THE COMPANY DECIDED TO ISSUE THE 2005 RECALL IN 14 STATES BASED UPON INCIDENT RATES. GM AND THE GOVERNMENT HAVE RECEIVED MORE THAN 700 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PROBLEM.
