I AM ENTERING THIS IN REGARDS TO YOUR INVESTIGATION PE05020. THIS IS ON AN INCORRECT ACTIVATION OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IN CHEVY TRUCKS 99-2002. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE HAS THIS DEFECT AND IT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO TWO ACCIDENTS. THE DEFECT IS IN THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SPEED SENSOR AND OCCURS DUE TO CORROSION. MY FAMILY HAS A SNOW REMOVAL BUSINESS SO I FREQUENTLY USE THE TRUCK IN BAD WEATHER..ALSO I LIVED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE OCEAN FOR A YEAR SO THE TRUCK WAS FREQUENTLY EXPOSED TO SALT SPRAY. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO LET YOU EXAMINE THE TRUCK IF YOU WOULD LIKE. I HAVE NOT GONE TO CHEVY TO REQUEST REPAIR YET..AWAITING ADVICE FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY. *JB

DECEMBER 2010, WHILE JUST OPENING MY DOOR NORMALLY TO ENTER THE VEHICLE ... MY EXTERIOR DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF OF ITS MOUNT. TOOK TO A GM AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER AND IT WAS REPAIRED FOR APPROX $160.00. IT IS NOW JANUARY 21ST, 2011, JUST A FEW WEEKS LATER, AND THE SAME THING HAS NOW HAPPENED TO THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE AS I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. IF I HAD A CHILD IN THE VEHICLE WHERE THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY AND I COULD NOT GET TO THAT CHILD BECAUSE THE DOOR HANDLES BREAK THEN THIS COULD BE A POTENTIALLY HUGE ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A DOOR HANDLE BREAK OFF IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED OR TRIED OPENING....AND NOW 2 IN ABOUT 6 WEEKS. GM STATES IT IS NOT COVERED AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO COOPERATE. *TR
