NHTSA Complaint #10521631 — 2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE

FIRST RECALL AS: NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 05V379000 I HAVE EXPERIENCED UNWANTED ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ACTIVATION DURING LOW SPEED BRAKING. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR (2012-2013), WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH WITHOUT EVASIVE MANEUVERS AND LUCK. I HAVE CALLED CHEVROLET SEVERAL TIMES TO ASK ABOUT THE ORIGINAL RECALL, WHICH MY VEHICLE WAS A PART IN. MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED IN THE FIRST RECALL, WHICH REQUIRES THE TECHNICIANS TO INSPECT AND CLEAN THE SPEED SENSORS. WELL I GUESS THE SENSORS HAVE BECOME DIRTY AGAIN AND SYMPTOMS ARE RECURRING (VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE "SALT BELT" AREA ITS ENTIRE LIFE). CHEVROLET WILL NOT SERVICE VEHICLE UNDER CURRENT RECALL. I STILL SEE MANY OF THESE POPULAR VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND THINK THAT THEIR SENSORS MAY TOO BECOME DIRTY AGAIN CAUSING ACCIDENTS. I THINK THAT IT IS DUE DILIGENCE FOR CHEVROLET TO CONTINUE TO "CLEAN" THESE SENSORS SINCE THEY HAVE ISSUED A PREVIOUS RECALL AND THE ONLY FIX WAS TO "CLEAN" THE SENSOR AND SURFACE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
