SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
NHTSA RECALL 05V379000: AT UNDER 5 MPH REAR-ENDED ANOTHER CAR. DESPITE STANDING ON BRAKE PEDA 1999 TAHOE 4X4 WOULD NOT STOP. THE STOPPING DISTANCE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35 FEET. OFTEN WHEN FRONT TIRES WERE TURNED RIGHT REAR TIRE LOCKED. I THINK THE ABS SENSOR PROBLEM EXTENDED TO MORE STATES.*AK

STEERING:GEAR BOX:SHAFT SECTOR
INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT, VERY NOISY, COULD NOT GET PART DUE TO BACK ORDER. SO THEY PACKED IT, PART FINALLY CAME IN, AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY IN JANUARY 2005. SAME PROBLEM IS OCCURRING NOW, DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN SAID HE COULD NOT HEAR IT, OR SEE IT, I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY HAD MY CAR IN THE BACK LONG ENOUGH TO REALLY LOOK, I DROVE WITH IT FOR WEEKS, I KNOW IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND I KNOW THE PARTS ARE HARD TO GET, WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL. IS IT SAFE TO DRIVE.*AK

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

DT*: THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM BEGAN AS A CRACKING SOUND WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE CONTROL ARM WAS MADE. ONE MONTH LATER, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. ON DECEMBER 29, 2005 THE CRACKING SOUND WAS HEARD AGAIN, THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND THE THROTTLE WOULD NOT DEPRESS.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
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)

I PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT FOR THE REAR SEAT BELT MALFUNCTIONING BUT THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL DANGEROUS ISSUES..THE THROTTLE STICKS AND HAPPENED WITH MY 2 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE DRIVING 55 MPH..NOT FUN! THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN DETRIMENTAL. THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT WORK AND HAS BEEN "FIXED" 2 TIMES..IT STILL DOES NOT WORK AND WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION...THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ENGAGE FOR SHORT STOPS AND THE VEHICLE SLIDES!! THIS IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE TO ME. GM MUST HAVE MANY LAWSUITS IN THE WORKS AND MANY TO COME. *NM
