#721892April 24, 2000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
WE PURCHASED THE 1999 TAHOE IN JUNE, 1998. WE HAD THE ROTORS TURNED IN DECEMBER 1998 AND THEN REPLACED AUG. 1999. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A NEW VEHICLE, LET ALONE ONE THAT COSTS AS MUCH AS THE TAHOE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS GOING TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT STOPPING VERY GOOD, ESPECIALLY AT A SPEED GREATER THAN 40 MPH. THE BRAKES WERE BLED IN THE SUMMER OF 1999. THAT SEEMED TO HELP FOR A WHILE. BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO REAPPEAR. WE TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO OUR DEALER. THEY THEN REPLACED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. THAT SEEMED TO HELP. BUT I FEEL THE BRAKE SYSTEM STILL IS NOT A GOOD SYSTEM WHEN YOU MUST PRESS THE PEDAL DOWN SO FAR TO GET A GOOD STOP. THE MANIFOLD GASKETS ALSO HAD TO ALREADY BE REPLACED. FOR A FAIRLY NEW AND EXPENSIVE VEHICLE, WE HAVE HAD ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. (WE HAD A 1995 CHEVY SUBURBAN BEFORE, AND WE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. WE REALLY LIKED THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON IT AND WISH WE HAD NEVER TRADED FOR THE TAHOE.) ONE THING I NOTICED ON YOUR RECALLS, ON THE 1998 TAHOES, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ROTORS AND BRAKING SYSTEM. SINCE OUR TRUCK WAS BUILT EARLY IN MAY 1998, AND LISTED AS 1999, COULD WE HAVE POSSIBLY INHERITED THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE 1998 TAHOE? I WOULD LOVE TO PURCHASE A 2000 TAHOE, BUT HESITATE BECAUSE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM THEY MAY HAVE. PLEASE INFORM ME IF THERE COULD BE A RECALL ON OUR MODEL AND YEAR. I FEEL THE 1998 RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE 1999 SINCE EVERYTHING ON THE VEHICLES ARE THE SAME. *AK
