Default Re: File a complaint to NHSTA regarding VSC/ABS Skid control ECU failure

It seems the brake TSB is only 01-02's but the VSC/TRAC failure is on all years (at least beyond 03). I just had the brake TSB done - my brakes work far better than before, stops better and pedal feel is better. The truck started hesitating right after the work was done, I took it back to the dealer and (because of this website - THANKS) told them the mechanic must not have positioned the sensors in the wheels correctly and the zero point calibration would not have worked. He told me the systems are not tied together and it must be my throttle positiong sensor, turns out I was right everything seems good now - knock on wood. - The two systems are definately tied together and I would (and will if it fails) put up a huge stink over getting it covered under powertrain warranty.

I have to wonder if any people have paid to replace their VSC computer after the brake TSB was done needlessly due to mispositioned wheel sensors.
