SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
GM HAD A RECALL (05V379000) THAT DID NOT INCLUDE THE YEAR OF MY SUBURBAN (1999) NOR MY STATE (COLORADO).....YET, MY PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM THAT FORCED THIS RECALL. I THINK THEY SHOULD INCLUDE COLORADO AND 1999 SUBURBAN'S - I FIND THIS TO BE HIGHLY UNFAIR. TODAY THE ABS ACTED UP AND CAUSED MY PREGNANT WIFE TO NEARLY HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION AND SUBSEQUENT MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS COULD NOT DETECT THE FOLLOWING IMPENDING PROBLEM. MY FAMILY AND I WERE RETURNING FROM A WEEKEND VACATION IN ARIZONA ON OUR WAY HOME. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT JUST PAST THE CALIFORNIA/ARIZONA STATE LINE I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND OUR VEHICLE LOST POWER. WE WERE TOWED BACK INTO NEEDLES, CA AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL PUMP HAD FAILED. WE WERE FORCED TO STAY THE NIGHT IN A LOCAL HOTEL AS A NEW PUMP HAD TO BE INSTALLED IN THE GAS TANK. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH SUBURBAN FUEL PUMPS AND SOME RECALLS HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS SITUATION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS AN AVENUE I CAN PURSUE FOR REPAIR COMPENSATION AS THIS WAS A COSTLY REPLACEMENT. SINCERELY, [XXX]. *NM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
AFTER 50,000 MILES ON MY 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN (5.7 / 4WD), I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE ABS ACTIVATION AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN NO TRACTION LOSS WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. THIS MADE THE DISTANCE INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY AND MADE FOR POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. IT WAS SERVICED BY MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AT MY COST. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN PARKING THE SUBURBAN, THE BRAKES PUSHED THROUGH, THE ABS CAME ON AND THEY WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR. WE HIT A CEMENT LIGHT POST, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER AND THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AMOUNTING TO OVER $1,000.00. TOOK THE SUBURBAN TO HAVE THE ABS BRAKES CHECKED AND CORRECTED. WAS CORRECTED AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS OCCURRING. ANYTIME WE ARE TRAVELING AT A SLOW SPEED AND TRY TO STOP OR ARE STOPPING AT RED LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, GOING DOWN A HILL, THE ABS BRAKES COME ON AND THE VEHICLE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
BRAKES ON 1999 CHEVY SUBURBAN K1500 HAVE BEEN PROBLEM SINCE DAY 1. DEALER ( NOW DEFUNCT) SPENT MUCH TIME AND MONEY TRYING TO FIX. 5 SETS OF PADS, 2 SETS OF ROTORS ETC. ETC. VEHICLE NOW WILL NOT STOP BELOW 10 MPH UNLESS ANTI-LOCK IS DISABLED (PULLING FUSE) GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM IN SIMILAR VEHICLES AS CORRODED ANTI-LOCK SENSORS BUT REFUSES TO INCLUDE THIS SAME MODEL, THEREBY ELIMINATING ANY FIX BY THEM. THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE IS CAUSING STRIFE AS MY WIFE NOW REFUSES TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH QUESTIONABLE BRAKES. THE PROBLEM GM FACES WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES IS A MAJOR ONE AND COULD COST THEM BILLIONS IF ADMITTED. IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET SOME ACTION ON THIS? *JB
