Consumer Description

THE BRAKES ON MY YEAR 2000 GMC SAFARI PASSENGER VAN FAILED WHILE I WAS COMING TO A STOP AND AN INTERSECTION. I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH. I NARROWLY AVOIDED A COLLISION BY TURNING ONTO A GRASSY MEDIAN. THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE PEDAL THEN DROPPED. I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE USING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VAN IS WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS 36,000 MILES LOGGED. THE REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. THE HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY AND THE SPEED SENSOR WERE REPLACED. IT HAS NOW COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT A RECALL IS IN EFFECT FOR THIS PART - FRONT HUB/BEARING ASSEMBLY AND THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR - ON 2002 MODEL YEAR CHERVROLET TAHOE VEHICLES (LETTER DATED OCTOBER 2005 FROM CHEVROLET). I STRONGLY RECOMMEND INVESTIGATING THESE QUESTIONABLE PARTS ON ALL GEMS VEHICLES. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE CURRENT TAHOE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO ALL VEHICLES WITH THESE PARTS. *JB
