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.

DURING REPAIR OF THE BRAKE LINES THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONSUMER THAT THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM SELF ACTIVATES AND WILL NEED NEW HUBS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

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.

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 DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE CONSUMER DID NOT LIVE IN THE STATE IN WHICH WAS AFFECTED, BUT HE FELT HE WAS HAVING THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEM AS NOTED IN THE RECALL.

I OWN A 2000 CHEVROLET ASTRO VAN WHICH I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE FOR OVER A YEAR BECAUSE OF MALFUNCTIONING ANTILOCK BRAKES. I BROUGHT IT TO BE REPAIRED LAST YEAR AND PAID OVER $800 FOR ONE SET OF BRAKES, THE OTHER SET STILL NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THE ANTILOCK BRAKES PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM STOPPING WHEN TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2002. THERE IS CURRENTLY AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS VERY PROBLEM ON SIMILAR CHEVY SUVS AND TRUCKS, BUT NOT INCLUDING THE ASTRO VAN.
