Service brakes, Hydraulic, Oct 4, 2005
(1)I'VE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON MY 2002 CHEVY TAHOE. I CONSULTED WITH MY MECHANIC AND UNDERSTAND THAT IF I LIVED IN SEVERAL STATES IN THE "SALT BELT" OR CANADA, THIS ISSUE WOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY CONCERN AND COVERED WITH A RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE I LIVE IN MINNESOTA (WHERE WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND ICE EACH WINTER, AND SALT IS HEAVILY USED ON THE ROADS) THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY. TO ME, THIS INDICATES THAT MY SAFETY IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS THOSE IN OTHER STATES WHO HAVE PERCEIVED WORSE WINTER CONDITIONS? (2) I AM GOING TO HAVE TO GET THIS ISSUE REPAIRED, AND WOULD PREFER IT TO BE COVERED. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE (GM CERTIFIED USED) IN FEBRUARY AND WOULD HAVE HOPED IT WOULD BE IN GREAT CONDITION. IF I DO NOT GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT ACCIDENTS COULD RESULT FROM MALFUNCTIONING BRAKES. (3) I HAVE CONTACTED GM IN AN EFFORT TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF, SO WE'LL SEE IF THEY COME THROUGH. HOWEVER, MY RESEARCH DOESN'T GIVE ME GREAT CONFIDENCE. I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT HERE IN HOPES THAT OTHERS FROM MN (OR WI, FOR THAT MATTER) WITH THE SAME ISSUE WOULDN'T HAVE THE SAME FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE. *JB

DT: THE CONSUMER WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH 2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATED AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS HAS CAUSED A COUPLE OF NEAR MISSES BECAUSE OF THE ABS KICKING IN. THIS IS HAPPENING AROUND 90 % OF THE TIME. THE CONSUMER HAS JUST HAD THE BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED , AND THIS HAS NOT HELPED THE SITUATION. THE CONSUMER WILL CALL GM TODAY, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATING. THE CONSUMER WAS UPSET THAT SHE SAW THE TBS FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND SHE THOUGHT THAT GM SHOULD HAVE CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM LONG BEFORE NOW. THE SPEED IS 20 OR BELOW.*AK

CHEVROLET HAS 3 OTHER CASES OPEN THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES HARD TO STOP SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED TIRES, BRAKE PADS, ROTORS ETC.. IT APPEARS ALL NEW TAHOES DO THIS AS I DROVE ANOTHER BRAND NEW ONE AND IT DOES THE SAME THING. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS OPENED TAC CASE # 5303279 WITH CHEVROLET. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT CHEVROLET ALREADY HAS 3 UNRESOLVED CASES. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE PROBLEM IS IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM AS THE REAR PASSENGER BRAKE SEEMS TO ACTIVATE FIRST WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED HARD FOR A SUDDEN STOP. THIS THROWS THE REST OF THE VEHICLE TO TRACK TO THE RIGHT WHICH MUST BE ABRUPTLY CORRECTED BY THE DRIVER. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT CHEVROLET HAS NO FIX. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO SAID THEY CLAMPED THE REAR BRAKE LINES ON MY VEHICLE AND THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM, WHICH PROVES THE PROBLEM IS IN THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO TOW MY BOAT. IF I MUST APPLY THE BRAKES SUDDENLY (WHICH CAN HAPPEN QUITE OFTEN WHEN TOWING) I WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS NOT NOTICEABLE UNDER SLOW/SMOOTH BRAKING. THE PROBLEM IS WORSE THE FASTER YOU ARE GOING. THEREFORE, AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE VEHICLE WILL EASILY LOSE CONTROL. I TEST DROVE ANOTHER BRAND NEW TAHOE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND IT HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO SAID HE TESTED A USED ONE AND IT HAD THE PROBLEM AS WELL.*AK
