I DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS, BUT I GOT IT REPAIRED AT A SERVICE GARAGE AND HAVE THE RECEIPT. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT TODAY. THE REASON FOR THE ACCIDENT IS THAT MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGED AT LESS THAN 15 MPH THEREFORE NOT ALLOWING ME TO STOP IN TIME. THE BRAKE ACTUALLY FELT AS IF THEY WERE NOT WORKING AT ALL. I WAS INFORMED THAT NEWER MODELS WERE INCLUDED IN A RECALL IN THE SALT BELT, BUT NOT IN MN. WHAT CAN WE DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM? IT HAPPENED IN MN AND IN A 1999 TAHOE. THANKS, JOAN GODFREY. *NM

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
