Brake Question

From what I was told those codes don't stay forever, they clear after so many key revolutions, so it tells me they were somewhat recent. Again, no light ever came on. Do you think a wheel speed sensor error could cause anything like this??

the recall work done on your vehicle concerning the abs front sensors does not mean these where replaced...this recall was to remove the sensor clean the mounting surface, coat this surface with a zinc coating and then reinstall the same sensor..the sensor was not the reason for the recall ............the rust pushing the sensor out was the reason !

when these hub bearings go, they can cause the ABS sensor to work poorly and cause codes/poor low speed braking..

like I stated before when these bearings do fail , they cause different issues when they go bad...with the inspection as I stated in the prior posts ,,,,,,you can determine whats the problem...

for some reason many stated they had the left front hub fail..

my vehicle the right front failed...the left front is from many reports , the one to fail first...

They actually did replace both sensors, apparently things were too dirty in there, I remember the zeroed out bill saying replace and I remember looking and seeing brand new ones with stickers on them, so they were replaced. I will check the grease condition, if that's ok I will swap LF and RF rotors and see. What a PITA this is.

you are lucky that they did not bill you for the NEW sensors..this is not part of the recall...

many have had this free recall completed only to get a bill for 1200.oo for rotors/calipers/sensors etc....from the dealership/stealership >......

Is it possible the rear brakes are not working, causing all braking to be done by the front? This would cause excessive wear and no pulling. Don't know if you'd notice the difference in stopping distance on dry road surfaces.
