VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A CLEARANCE CONDITION BETWEEN THE FRONT RIGHT-HAND BRAKE PIPE AND THE BODY CROSS SILL THAT COULD DECREASE TO THE POINT OF ALLOWING CONTACT DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. IF CONTACT OCCURS AND THE BRAKE PIPE BECOMES DAMAGED, IN HALF OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM THERE CAN BE A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND PRESSURE. THE BRAKE WARNING LAMP WILL BE ACTIVATED WHEN THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL REACHES THE INDICATOR LIMIT.
DURING BRAKING, THE PEDAL WILL BE LOWER THAN NORMAL AND STOPPING DISTANCES WILL BE LONGER. IF THIS OCCURS WHEN STOPPING DISTANCE IS LIMITED, A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT RIGHT-HAND BRAKE PIPE FOR WEAR. IF THERE ARE SIGNS OF WEAR, THIS SECTION OF THE BRAKE PIPE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW DESIGNED BRAKE PIPE SECTION. IF THERE ARE NOT SIGNS OF WEAR ON THE BRAKE PIPE, THE DEALER WILL INSTALL A SPACER CLIP TO ENSURE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE PIPE AND THE BODY CROSS SILL.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND DECELERATING FROM 20 MPH, THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) UNEXPECTEDLY ACTIVATES. THE FAILURE INCREASED THE STOPPING DISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTO SERVICE CENTER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT WHEEL SENSORS FAILED. THE DEALER STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: ANTILOCK). THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000. UPDATED 04/25/08 *BF

Service brakes, Hydraulic, Dec 4, 2007
I HAVE A 2000 TAHOE AND AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. GM IS TELLING ME IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE OF THE MANUFACTURING LOCATION OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS ABSURD. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED AND WINTER CORROSION IS POSSIBLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD INCLUDE ALL VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY WERE MANUFACTURED. HOW DOES GM KNOW WHERE THE VEHICLE WENT AFTER IT WAS PURCHASED, THEY DON'T. I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN IN THE CROSSWALK A FEW DAYS BECAUSE THE ABS CAME ON WHILE I WAS GOING VERY SLOW. *TR
Service brakes, Hydraulic, Mar 12, 2007
VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AT INTERSECTION WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE ABS SOUNDED AS IF IT HAD ENGAGED BUT MY WHEELS DID NOT STOP. I HAD MY 2 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND FORTUNATELY NOTHING WAS COMING AND THEREFORE NO ONE WAS HURT OR KILLED. I REVIEWED THE NHTSA WEBSITE TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND THAT CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V379000 COVERS THIS PROBLEM AND THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED TO REMOVE CORROSION FROM THE SPEED SENSORS AND APPLY RUST INHIBITOR. I CONTACTED APPLE CHEVROLET IN YORK, PA AND ON 2/28/07, THEY FOUND THE THAT MY WHEEL SPEED SENSORS HAD EXCESSIVE RUST BUILD UP. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I WAS CHARGED $241.65 FOR THESE REPAIRS AND I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. HOW CAN OER 1.3 MILLION VEHICLES MADE BETWEEN 1999 AND 2002 BE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED? *JB

I OWN A 2000 CHEVY TAHOE. FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, I EXPERIENCED OCCASIONAL PROBLEMS STOPPING UNDER 10 MPH DUE TO THE FAULTY ACTIVATION OF THE ABS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I BARELY AVOIDED A DANGEROUS CRASH. I CALLED ART MOEHN CHEVROLET IN JACKSON, MICHIGAN ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD I COULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REPAIRED. NO MENTION WAS MADE OF THE POSSIBLE RECALL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ART MOEHN CHEVROLET IN JACKSON, MICHIGAN ON APRIL 7, 2006. THE PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED AT A COST TO ME OF $241.60. I DID RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE ABS PROBLEM AND LOCATED A RECALL FOR 1999-2002 GM TRUCKS (SEE NHSTA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V37900). I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN # WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE BRAKE WORK DONE ON MY 2000 TAHOE IS THE EXACT REPAIR SENT TO CHEVY DEALERS BY GM FOR THE RECALLED VEHICLES (SEE GM BULLETIN # 05068B). I AM SEEKING FULL REIMBURSEMENT OF MY COSTS FOR REPAIR UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE. THANK YOU. *NM

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

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.
