SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ORIGINAL OWNER OF 1999 TAHOE. SINCE PURCHASE, I HAVE FELT THAT THE TRUCK WAS NOT STOPPING WELL, EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS. I RETURNED TO DEALER AND THEY CONTINUED TO SAY NOTHING WAS WRONG. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE HAD FOUR DIFFERENT DEALERS IN THREE STATES AND TWO PRIVATE MECHANICS LOOK AT IT. ALL HAVE SAID IT "PERFORMS AS INTENDED". THE BRAKES WERE WORKED ON SEVEN TIMES THAT I HAVE RECORDS FOR. AT 17K MILES, 32K MILES, REAR BRAKES WERE CLEANED AND ADJUSTED. AT 36K, FRONT ROTORS WERE RESURFACED, REAR BRAKES CLEANED/ADJUSTED. AT 47K, FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED AND REAR DRUMS WERE TURNED. REPLACED PADS. REARS ADJUSTED AT 59K. AT 72K, REPLACED FRONT BRAKES AND MACHINED ROTORS. CLEANED/ADJUSTED REARS. THIS CONTINUES ON EVERY 20K MILES OR SO AND STILL THE TRUCK DOES NOT STOP UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS. THE REAR BRAKE ADJUSTMENTS ONLY LAST ABOUT TWO WEEKS, THEN BACK TO THE SAME THING. LUCKILY, I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT YET BUT HAVE HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE TO AVOID HITTING CAR IN FRONT OF ME. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
IS THE NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 05V155000 (CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 2000-2001 FUEL PUMP FAILURE) GOING TO BE EXPANDED TO OTHER GM TRUCKS? MY 1999 TAHOE HAD THE EXACT FAILURE DESCRIBED IN THIS RECALL, AND I EXPECT IT WILL FAIL AGAIN. IF THE RECALL WILL BE RESTRICTED TO THE 2000-2001 SUBURBANS, I WILL PERFORM MY OWN MODIFICATION TO MY TAHOE'S PUMP (I WILL BYPASS THE INTERNAL PUMP CONNECTOR AND SOLDER THE WIRES). HOWEVER, IF THE RECALL WILL BE EXPANDED TO THE 1999 TAHOE IN THE NEAR FUTURE, I WOULD RATHER HAVE THE OFFICIAL GM FIX APPLIED. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DT: BEGINNING IN JULY, THE CONSUMER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES DURING LOW SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS. WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE BRAKES WOULD GRAB. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD FLUCTUATE. THERE WAS A FEELING LIKE BEING ON ICE. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED ABOUT 85-90 PERCENT OF THE TIME. THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE WITH TIME. THE CONSUMER CHECKED ON THE RECALL 05V379000. HIS VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. THEY STATED THAT THE OWNER HAS THE OLD WHEEL SPEED SENSORS AND THOSE WERE NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO ALERT NHTSA THAT HIS VEHICLE STILL HAS THE EXACT PROBLEM LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT REPAIRED IT YET. THE CONSUMER HAS ALMOST REAR ENDED A CAR DUE TO THE ABS ACTIVATION AND EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *JB UPDATE 1/11/2006 - *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE BRAKES SINCE 2001. I HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED TWICE SINCE MY MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS OVER 70,000. MY PROBLEM IS THAT THEY STILL DON'T FEEL RIGHT....I'VE MENTIONED THIS TO BOTH A GM DEALER AND PRIVATE AUTO GARAGE AND THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. I FEEL THAT THE ABS RECALL JUST ANNOUNCED WILL FIX MY PROBLEM. I LOOKED AT THE LIST OF STATES AT WWW.KYW.COM AND NOTICED THAT DELAWARE IS NOT LISTED. HOW CAN I BE A PART OF THIS RECALL SO THAT I DON'T BECOME AN ACCIDENT STATISTIC? I PHONED GM AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION IN THEIR COMPUTERS ABOUT THIS RECALL YET. I WAS INFORMED THAT YOU IT IS STILL IN THE WORKS. *NM

I AM WRITING REF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID - 05V379000 I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SYMPTOM SEVERAL TIMES AND ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I HAD DONE WRONG. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT MY STATE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT MARYLAND USES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF SALT IN THE WINTER. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME IT OCCURRED BUT AM PUTTING IN TODAY'S DATE TO FINISH THE FORM. *JB

EXPERIENCE UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING LOW SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS. WE HAVE FILED A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 05V379000 WHICH PROMPTED GM TO RECALL SOME OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM.
