About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
In my 2002 Chevy Avalanche, when I came to slow down to make a stop approx 5-15 mph, I would apply the brakes and it felt like the peddle was stuck and I could not fully depress the peddle to stop. Also the ABS brakes seemed to kick on even if I was on dry pavement at this slowing stopping speed. When this occured I could not stop as quickly as I normally could with properly functioning brakes. At times if felt like I would not be able to stop at all. There was never any damage due to the failure of the breaks (luckily). A mechanic looked at the hub assembly and indicated what could be done to fix the problem. No repairs were made to the vehicle, but the mechanic turned off the sensors as he saw that one sensor was corroded. He did not look at the other sensor.
