SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
IN REFERENCE TO THE CURRENT INVESTIGATION OF GM TRUCKS AND SUVS FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS AT LOW SPEED. AS I SLOW DOWN OR HAVE TO STOP ON CLEAR/DRY ROADWAYS, I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE NOT TO SMASH INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME OR TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BY GOING PAST THE STOP SIGN. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY 1999 CHEVY TAHOE SINCE DECEMBER, 2004 AND IT'S GETTING WORSE. IT USED TO HAPPEN JUST ONCE IN AWHILE, NOW IT HAPPENS 99% OF THE TIME WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR NEED TO STOP(AT A SPEED OF UNDER 10). I'M HAVING TO DOUBLE PUMP THE BRAKES AND STILL PRAY IT WILL STOP IN TIME. MOST REPAIR PLACES WANT TO REPLACE THE HUBS FOR A VERY HIGH PRICE OF $500 PER WHEEL OR MORE. I AM A MICHIGAN RESIDENT LIVING IN A "SALT BELT" STATE AND I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THE 1999 YEAR CHEVY TAHOE ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL FOR REPAIRING THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. I WOULD LIKE TO CHALLENGE THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND THEN DETERMINE IF IT SHOULDN'T BE COVERED. *NM

DUE TO THE EXPENSE NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. *AK UDATED 12/27/05. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
EXITING FREEWAY BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT A SLOW SPEED , BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED BACK ON MY FOOT AND VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AS IF I DIDN'T HAVE ANY BRAKES. HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PUMP THEM. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THERE WAS NO ONE (CAR OR PERSON) AHEAD OF ME. THESE WERE ABS BRAKES AND AT SLOW SPEEDS THEY FAIL. ACCORDING TO A NEW MEDIA THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE (2000 TAHOE) BECAUSE WE DO NOT LIVE IN RUST OR SALT BELT. OUR AREA DOES HAVE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF RAIN AND SNOW AND USE OF SALT ON THE ROADS TO CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH THESE BRAKES. IT IS INTERESTING THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS IN OTHER STATES, THERE IS A RECALL BUT IN WI THERE IS NOT. APPARRENTLY LIFE AND LIMB ARE NOT AS IMPORTANT AS IN OTHER STATES. I WILL BE AWAITING YOUR IMMEDIATE REPLY BY PHONE, LETTER, EMAIL OR FAX. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. FLOYD J. MICHAELS. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HEARD OF A RECALL ON CNN, AND INVESTIGATED IT FURTHER ON YOUR WEBSITE, CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000, DATED 8/29/05. WHEN I CALLED CHEVROLET TO GET THIS FIXED ON MY VEHICLE, BECAUSE I WAS HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE WITH THE ANTILOCK BRAKES, THEY INFORMED ME THIS RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE THE STATE OF UTAH. MY ANTILOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE QUITE OFTEN AT LOW SPEEDS AND CAUSE ME TO SKID, WHICH COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT HAS NOT YET TO DATE. WHERE THE RECALL IS KNOWN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE WHEN I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF TIMES IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. *NM
