I HAVE PREVIOUSLY CORRESPONDED WITH YOUR AGENCY (ODI# 10098003) ON 10/29/04. ALTHOUGH GENERAL MOTORS HAS RECENTLY ISSUED AN ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM RECALL, IT INCLUDES ONLY CERTAIN MODELS AFTER 1999. BE ADVISED EARLIER YEAR MODELS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, AND REPAIR TO THOSE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I HAVE INCURRED $200.00 IN REPAIRS CAUSED BY THE PROBLEM WITH CORROSION DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. MY MECHANIC HAS DISABLED THE SYSTEM BY REMOVAL OF THE FUSE TO PREVENT THE ACTIVATION OF THE ABS SYSTEM FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I THEREFORE HAVE A SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR SAFETY WHICH IS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY USELESS. AND IN NEED OF REPAIR. LETS GET GM TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IN TOTAL. *NM

MY CHEVY 2001 TAHOES SUFFERED AN ABS MALFUNCTION AT LOW SPEEDS IN THE SUMMER OF 2004. IT WAS REPAIRED AT A DEALER. IN AUGUST OF 2005 I HEARD OF THE RECALL OF 2001 TAHOES IN 14 NORTHERN STATES FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM MY TAHOE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR, THE REMEDY FOR THE RECALL IS EXACTLY WHAT THE DEALER PERFORMED ON MY CAR IN JULY 2004. MY TAHOE WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALER 11-25-05 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN, GM HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE I AM NOT IN ONE OF THE RECALL STATES. GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS MALFUNCTION CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS SINCE IT INCREASES BRAKING DISTANCES. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT 300 DOLLARS ON THE FIRST REPAIR AND AM LOOKING AT SPENDING THE SAME AMOUNT AGAIN. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE A 1999 CHEVY TAHOE. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW INSTANCES WHEN I HAVE APPLIED THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS; THE BRAKES LOCK CAUSING THE TRUCK TO SKIP AND SKID. THIS IS TERRIFYING, AS I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE TRUCK WILL STOP. SOMETIMES THE SKIP AND SKID WILL GO FOR 10-15 FEET BEFORE FINALLY STOPPING. TWICE I HAVE ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. A THIRD TIME I HAD TO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION BECAUSE THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ISSUED BY NHTSA #05V379000 BUT DOES NOT EXTEND TO CALIFORNIA. I RESIDE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THIS VEHICLE IS USED IN THE SNOW/SLEET/RAIN. THE CONDITION (SUMMARY OF RECALL) IS IN OCCURRING IN MY VEHICLE HERE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE WITH THE BRAKES THAT COULD RESULT IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT. *JB
