NHTSA Complaint #10359319 — 1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE

ABS ENGAGES ON MY CHEVROLET TAHOE AS I COME TO A STOP, PREVENTING ME TO STOP IN A REASONABLY EXPECTED DISTANCE. I HAVE A 1999 TAHOE THAT SEEMS TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ADDRESSED BY NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V37900, GM RECALL NUMBER 05068. THE PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AS THE VEHICLE SLOWS TO 1 OR 2 MPH THE ABS ENGAGES AND INCREASES THE STOPPING DISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND REGISTERED AND USED IN NEW YORK FROM NEW TILL PRESENT. NEW YORK IS ONE OF THE SALT BELT STATES THAT IS COVERED IN THE RECALL LISTED ABOVE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY PARTICULAR TAHOE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 1998 . THE REP AT GM COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL..THE VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT BY A GM MECHANIC. HE SAID THE SENSORS WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED, CLEANED, ANTI-RUST MATERIAL APPLIED, AND REPLACED. THE WORK HAS NOT BEEN DONE YET. *TR
