SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
EXITING FREEWAY BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT A SLOW SPEED , BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED BACK ON MY FOOT AND VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AS IF I DIDN'T HAVE ANY BRAKES. HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PUMP THEM. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THERE WAS NO ONE (CAR OR PERSON) AHEAD OF ME. THESE WERE ABS BRAKES AND AT SLOW SPEEDS THEY FAIL. ACCORDING TO A NEW MEDIA THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE (2000 TAHOE) BECAUSE WE DO NOT LIVE IN RUST OR SALT BELT. OUR AREA DOES HAVE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF RAIN AND SNOW AND USE OF SALT ON THE ROADS TO CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH THESE BRAKES. IT IS INTERESTING THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS IN OTHER STATES, THERE IS A RECALL BUT IN WI THERE IS NOT. APPARRENTLY LIFE AND LIMB ARE NOT AS IMPORTANT AS IN OTHER STATES. I WILL BE AWAITING YOUR IMMEDIATE REPLY BY PHONE, LETTER, EMAIL OR FAX. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. FLOYD J. MICHAELS. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HEARD OF A RECALL ON CNN, AND INVESTIGATED IT FURTHER ON YOUR WEBSITE, CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000, DATED 8/29/05. WHEN I CALLED CHEVROLET TO GET THIS FIXED ON MY VEHICLE, BECAUSE I WAS HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE WITH THE ANTILOCK BRAKES, THEY INFORMED ME THIS RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE THE STATE OF UTAH. MY ANTILOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE QUITE OFTEN AT LOW SPEEDS AND CAUSE ME TO SKID, WHICH COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT HAS NOT YET TO DATE. WHERE THE RECALL IS KNOWN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE WHEN I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF TIMES IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
GM RECALL; 05068 STATES "CERTAIN ...VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE UNWANTED ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATION. THIS CONDITION TO MORE LIKELY OCCUR IN ENVIRONMENTALLY CORROSIVE AREAS. THIS RECALL WILL BE LAUNCHED IN THE "SALT BELT" STATES OF..." AND EXCLUDES MN AND WI. THIS IS DUE TO FEWER COMPLAINTS. THIS IS IRRELEVANT SINCE THE SAFETY CONSEQUENCE IS"THIS CAN CAUSE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE DURING LOW-SPEED BRAKING APPLICATIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN CRASH." THE ROOT CAUSE SEEMS TO BE SALT CORROSION AND THAT SHOULD DETERMINE THE LOCATION, NOT "COMPLAINTS, ACCIDENTS OR FATALITIES" AS I WAS INFORMED BY MY CALL TO GM. I HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN A VALID REASON WHY I AM SAFE FROM THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I LIVE IN MINNESOTA AND USE MORE SALT THAN 50% OF THE OTHER STATES ON THE LIST.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MINNESOTA IS A "SALT" STATE. THE BEARING/ABS SENSOR ASSEMBLY HAS BECOME "BAD" ON MY 2000 TAHOE CAUSING UNWANTED AND UNSAFE ABS ACTIVATION AT SLOW SPEEDS PARKING OR JUST BEFORE COMING TO A FULL STOP. THE RECALL SHOULD COVER MINNESOTA AS A STATE WITH CORROSION IMPACTS. A $35,000 VEHICLE 5 YEARS OLD, TRUCK CLASS SHOULD NOT REQUIRE CONSUMERS TO PAY $578 PER WHEEL TO CORRECT AN OBVIOUS AND UNSAFE DESIGN FLAW.*JB
