SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WITHIN THE PAST 2 WEEKS, MY 1999 CHEVY TAHOE BEGAN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS BRAKES. WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND PERFORMING NORMAL BRAKING PRIOR TO COMING TO A STOP, THE ABS KICKS IN AT VERY LOW SPEED (<5MPH) AND THE BRAKES ESSENTIALLY FAIL. I CONTACTED MY DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THE 1999 TAHOE (OLD STYLE) IS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ON 1/27/06 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC FOR A PROBLEM WITH MY ABS. HE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH CORROSION ON THE SENSORS CAUSING THE ABS TO ACTIVATE AT SLOW SPEED. HE DISASSEMBLED, CLEANED AND REASSEMBLED THE SENSOR FOR A COST OF $148.00. I DROVE IT AGAIN AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. I LOOKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I FOUND A RECALL NHTSA # 05V379000 GM CAMPAIGN # 05068. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET DEALER TODAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A HUB ASSEMBLY WHICH WOULD COST $350.00 LABOR $180.00 AND THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. AS OF TODAY 1.4 MILLION TRUCKS AND SUV'S ARE RECALLED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE I DID NOT BUY THE VEHICLE NEW AND DID NOT HAVE IT CONTINUALLY SERVICED AT THE DEALER THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN PICK AND CHOOSE VEHICLES TO BE COVERED BY THIS RECALL. MY VEHICLE FALLS INTO THE CATEGORY OF EVERY STIPULATION EXCEPT FOR THE VIN NUMBER. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STEERING
I BROUGHT MY 1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE TO ALEXANDRIA BUICK-PONTIAC-GMC IN ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA ON DECEMBER 14, 2005 BECAUSE THE ABS LIGHT KEPT COMING ON IN THE DASHBOARD. MECHANIC DIAGNOSIS WAS SPEED SENSORS WERE MISSING. HE REPLACED THE HUB ASSEMBLIES AND SPEED SENSORS. TOTAL REPAIR WAS $1064.54. I THEN FOUND OUT THAT A RECALL ON THE PROBLEM I HAD JUST REPAIRED WAS GOING ON IN THE "RUST BELT" STATES AND CANADA. THE RECALL WAS FOR THE WHOLE NORTHEAST PART OF THE COUNTRY DOWN TO AND INCLUDING WASHINGTON DC. I WORK IN WASHINGTON AND LIVE ABOUT 5 MILES FROM THE CITY. I WROTE THE GM CLAIMS DEPARTMENT WITH COPIES OF EVERY RECEIPT AND A COPY OF THE RECALL LETTER. THEY CONTACTED ME AND TOLD ME THE REPAIR WAS INDEED ONE INCLUDED WITHIN THE RECALL, BUT THEY WERE DENYING THE CLAIM BECAUSE I LIVE IN VIRGINIA AND THE RECALL IS ONLY VALID IN "SALT BELT" STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. I WANT THE RECALL TO BE OPENED BACK UP AND TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL STATES. I SPEND EVERY SINGLE DAY IN WASHINGTON, WHAT MAKES MY CLAIM ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE PERSON THAT LIVES 5 MILES AWAY FROM ME, BUT HAPPENS TO LIVE ACROSS THE STATE BORDER? WHAT IS DIFFERENT FROM SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN WASHINGTON AND WORKS IN VIRGINIA? SINCE MY HOME ADDRESS WAS VIRGINIA, MY CLAIM WAS DENIED. THE RECALL CAMPAIGN # IS 05V379000. *NM THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS REPALCED. THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING ABD THE PINION SEAL WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 02/09/06. *JB

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR 2000-2002 TAHOE FOR FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CORROSION (PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL 05068) FROM GM. THIS SHOULD HAVE ALSO INCLUDED THE 1999 TAHOE. THIS ABS ISSUE IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING TO MY TAHOE. ITS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE MIDDLE OF 2005. I HEARD OF THE UPCOMING SAFETY RECALL BACK IN AUGUST 2005. BUT WHEN I TOOK MY 1999 TAHOE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED MY VIN# WAS NOT ON THE LIST FOR RECALLS. WHEN I LOOKED DEEPER INTO THIS RECALL, IT ONLY INCLUDES 2000-2002 TAHOE. I KNOW OF THIS HAPPENING ON ANOTHER 1999 TAHOE SPORT. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE GM EXPAND THE RECALL COVERAGE TO INCLUDE ALL 1999 TAHOE. *JB

CHEVROLET HAS RECALLED 1999 TAHOES FOR ABS SENSOR FAILURE DUE TO CORROSION. I DIDN'T RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE, SO I CALLED CHEV. AT 1-800-630-2438. THEIR REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE'S IDENTIFICATION NUMBER DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE "BREAKPOINT", SO MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED IN THE RECALL, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAD TO HAVE THE ABS SENSORS REPLACED IN NOV, 2004 AT A COST OF $741. THE REP. COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHY MY VEHICLE DIDN'T FALL WITHIN THE SO-CALLED "BREAKPOINT". MY VEHICLE'S IDENT. # IS [XXX]. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN USED IN MAINE, WHICH IS ONE OF THE "SALT BELT" STATES. *JB UPDATED 07/17/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
