Service brakes, Hydraulic, Dec 10, 2010
ON NOVEMBER 23, 2010 WE WERE TRAVELING ON I-95 JUST OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON DC WHEN WE WERE IN SOME HEAVY TRAFFIC. WE NEEDED TO STOP QUICKLY & THE BRAKE PEDAL ON OUR 2001 CHEVY TAHOE LT WENT TO THE FLOOR. WE WERE ABLE TO STOP BUT WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO GET OFF TO GET GAS & CHECK ON THE BRAKES WE NOTICED BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE REAR OF THE TAHOE. WAS ABLE TO GET TO A BRAKE SHOP WHEN WE FOUND OUT THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED. THE SHOP FIGURED SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT THE BRAKE LINE WHILE WE WERE DRIVING & SINCE THEY WERE RUSTING IT RUPTURED THE LINE. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN FREDRICKSBURG, VA & PAYING $1,500 TO JUST GET THE REAR LINES FIXED SO WE COULD CONTINUE OUR TRIP TO MYRTLE BEACH. WE STILL NEED TO GET THE FRONT LINES CHANGED BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET THEM FIXED AT THIS TIME. SO THE TAHOE SITS IN OUR DRIVEWAY UNTIL WE CAN AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. *TR

ABS PUMP MOTOR IS STAYING ON CONTINUOUSLY AFTER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, FOUND THAT AN INTERNAL RELAY IN THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE IS SHORTING AND CAUSING THE ABS PUMP MOTOR TO CONTINUE TO RUN WHILE OPERATED AND EVEN AFTER VEHICLE AND IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. WITHOUT DISCONNECTING PLUG TO MOTOR OR ABS FUSE, EITHER FAILURE OF ABS PUMP MOTOR WILL OCCUR, FAILURE OF EBCM WILL OCCUR AND EVEN POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARDS DUE TO OVERHEATING ABS PUMP MOTOR. SINCE I WAS ABLE TO READ ONLINE THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, IT SEEMS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND PREVENT FUTURE FAILURES OF ABS EQUIPMENT, POSSIBLE CAR FIRES DUE TO CONTINUOUS ABS PUMP MOTOR ACTIVATION EVEN WITH VEHICLE TURNED OFF, RESULTING IN POSSIBLE INJURIES AND EVEN DEATH TO THE PUBLIC. *TR
