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

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE [XXX] HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING INCREASINGLY SEVERE BRAKE SHUDDER AND ACTIVATION OF ABS SYSTEM AT LOW SPEEDS FOR THE PAST 6 WEEKS. HAPPENS NEARLY EVERY TIME I COME TO A SLOW STOP AND HAS CAUSED DOZENS OF NEAR MISS CRASHES IN CITY TRAFFIC. BROUGHT VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP ON OCTOBER 14, 2005 AND WAS INFORMED THAT ITEM WAS A CORROSION PROBLEM AND PART OF A RECALL. GMC WAS CONTACTED DIRECTLY AND INFORMED ME (AND THE DEALERSHIP) THAT MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE AUGUST 2005 RECALL NOTICE AND THAT PROBLEM WAS MY OWN PROBLEM. INSPECTION OF BRAKES BY LOCAL DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT DEFECT WAS CONSISTENT WITH OTHER RECALL ITEMS AND INVOLVED A COMPONENT THAT WAS ACTUALLY OPERATING DEFECTIVELY (AS OPPOSED TO PREVENTATIVE REPLACEMENT OF THE PART). RECALL SHOULD BE RE-EXAMINED AND EXPANDED. *NM UPDATED 07/18/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
