EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER:LPG SYSTEMS:TANK VALVE/GAUGE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THIS IS TO ADDRESS THE RECENT EXPANDED RECALL OF GM LIGHT TRUCKS/SUVS. I HAVE A 1998 TAHOE AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES THAT HAVE CAUSED GM TO RECALL THE TRUCKS/SUVS DUE TO RUST AFFECTING THE ABS SYSTEM. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME CORROSION RELATED ISSUES THAT ARE ADDRESSED BY THE RECALL - HOWEVER, BECAUSE I HAVE A 1998, GM WILL NOT PROVIDE ME ANY ASSISTANCE. WHEN I INQUIRED AS TO WHETHER THE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY (THAT HOUSES THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR) IN MY VEHICLE IS ANY DIFFERENT THAN THE VEHICLES BEING RECALLED, THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NOT ANY DIFFERENCE. MY COMPLAINT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES THE FACT THAT GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A FAULTY DESIGN IN THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY, HOWEVER, WILL NOT TAKE ANY ACTION TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION - ULTIMATELY LEAVING MY VEHICLE (AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS BUILT IN 1998 OR 1997) AS UNSAFE TO OPERATE. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS BRAKE NOT WORKING NOW FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. THE ABS WILL KICK IN AT 10 MPH OR LESS AND WILL NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WILL SLIDE AND THE TIRES JUST LOCK UP. IF I RELEASE AND PUMP THE BRAKE, I AM ABLE TO STOP. I HAVE LEARNED TO DRIVE VERY SLOWLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP BUT I FEEL THAT IN AN EMERGENCY, I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STOP AT ALL. I NOTICE THAT GM HAS PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME THING. THEY RECENTLY ADDED MN & WI TO THAT RECALL BUT NOT THE EARLIER YEARS. MY TAHOE IS A 1998. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS OF A BAD SENSOR, WHICH IS WHAT A SERVICE TECH HAD TOLD ME 2 YEARS AGO, WHEN THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SENSORS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I APPLY MY BRAKES. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
GM RECALL FOR HUB BEARING AREAS AND ABS ACTIVATION. I WENT TO THE CHEVY DEALER IN FLORIDA BOB TAYLOR AND SERVICE ADVISED US THE REPAIRS WERE NOT NECESSARY IN FLORIDA. THEY DID NOT INQUIRE WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS LOCATED ETC. WE HAD TO INSIST THE RECALL REPAIR BE DONE. THEY DID NOT EVEN WANT TO INSPECT. WITH OUR INSISTENCE IT WAS DONE. HOW MANY VEHICLES HAVE BEEN TURNED AWAY WITHOUT INSPECTION BY THIS DEALER. IT IS NOT UP TO THE DRIVER TO DECIDE ON A RECALLS NECESSITY. WE COMPLIED BUT WITH DEALER INDIFFERENCE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD NOT HAVE THE LEGAL BACKGROUND TO INSIST. THEY WILL BE TOLD THEY DID NOT COMPLY WHEN THEY DID. NO RECORD WOULD BE KEPT OF THE DEALER DISCOURAGING THE SERVICE AND THE DEFENSE IF THIS IS LINKED TO AN ACCIDENT IS THAT THEY DID NOT GET THE REPAIR/INSPECTION. THIS MAY NOT BE THE SPOT TO NOTICE BUT I AM CONCERNED TO HAVE THIS OCCUR. *NM
