My previously owned 2001 Silverado 1500 4x4 hit the road for the first time in June 2001. I purchased it in 8 yrs later in 2009 w 171K km. Twice now I have issues with the ABS sensors...first the L/F in 2013. Dealer cleaned up the sensor and charged me $155. Then again in 2014 when I nearly took out a pedestrian in a parking lot...that was with both feet on the pedal! That was the R/F this time and the dealer cleaned up the sensor for $99.95 in labour. Then I came across the ABS recall #04094 while searching for the current airbag issue. I just finished talking to a very nice Canadian GM rep regarding the ABS recall. They searched my VIN and according to their records "my recall" was CLOSED in 2005. In layman terms that means the previous owner took the truck in and had work done on the ABS in 2005. Therefore no recall came up at the dealer when I reported the same problem. So I guess they figured that the clean up job in 2005 was going to last longer than the brand new one off the line! Or they figure their trucks are only good for 10-12 years. Either way I'm not impressed w GM and not sure my next truck will be one. With all this talk of moving assembly plants to Mexico I would much rather support trucks made in Canada & USA. (If that is even possible.)
