There is a problem with the ABS kicking in at low speeds. The contact has been experiencing the problem since September of 2003. Had taken it vehicle to dealer to be repaired. They replaced the whole front hub bearings and the ABS sensors. The problem came back in September 2005. He is taking it to dealer for repairs in October. It is a constant and an ongoing problem. The contact has found a recall bulletin number 05068 for September O 2005. The contact's vehicle year was not included. The contact stated that GM refused to cover the vehicle in the recall. The service dealer said that GM claimed that if he wanted the vehicle to be safe he would have to pay for the repairs.
