Nhtsa campaign id # 05v37900, NHTSA action # pe05020. I purchased 2002 Avalanche in late July, 2006, from fucillo Chevrolet in east greenbush NY; mileage ~44,000. In November, 2008 (~55,000 miles), I noticed unwanted abs activation at low speeds as described in above references. Independent mechanic confirmed. Fucillo Chevrolet declined to provide recall service, advising that it had already been done, notwithstanding that the problem had not been remedied. Chevrolet declined for the same reason, advising that the recall repair had been done at fucillo in July, 2006, and that their obligation under the recall was to perform the recall service only one time, irrespective of whether the service fixed the defect. . I then had an independent mechanic repair the defect at my expense. He advised that the recall service had not been done, as could be determined during the repair. If the recall repair was not in fact done, then the dealer misrepresented to Chevrolet (and me). However, irrespective of whether the recall service had actually been done or not, it appears to me that Chevrolet and the dealer have taken the position that their obligation does not extend to remedying the defect -- they apparently make no distinction between effective repair work and ineffective repair work. In either event, Chevrolet and its dealer knew that there was an unsafe vehicle subject to recall and declined to remedy the defect.

1. Use of brakes at low speed 2. Unwanted abs activation and extended stopping distances during low-speed braking 3. Chevrolet refuses to correct problem related to recall 05v379000.

Abs pump motor will not shut off due to a failed electronic brake control module. Abs fuse must be removed to keep motor from burning up. Abs system is disabled. I am trying to find an affordable way to repair the problem. New factory part is to expensive. Must use vehicle with faulty abs system until repaired.

2002 chev Avalanche, intermittent activation of abs at speeds typically below 10mph. On 2 occasions resulted in brakes not stopping the vehicle completely, required brake pedal to be pressed with full body weight to bring vehicle to a stop. Brakes seem to work normally when stopping at from speeds greater than 10mph.

The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500. While the brake pedal was depressed, the abs activated. The dealer stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 05v379000 (service brakes, hydraulic: antilock). The contact is responsible for the repair costs. The current and failure mileages were 75,000.

Unwanted antilock brake system (abs) activation.

The contact received NHTSA recall campaign 05v379000 concerning the anti lock brakes. The vehicle is currently at the dealership getting repaired. The dealership states the hub needs to be replaced. Since the hub is not included in the recall the contact will have to pay the deductible for extended warranty.

Vehicle = 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 52000 miles -- at a slow rate of speed the brakes do not stop the vehicle and the anti locks chatter. . . When asking my dealer they have told me the recall does not include maryland. . . . . . I have disable my anti lock brakes for now and this relieved the problem, but when reactivated the problem remains -- will you please include maryland in your recall campaign # 05v37900 thank you for your consideration in this matter. P. S. I live in the north / west part of maryland elevation around 26000 to 29000 feet and we get lots of snow and ice not unlike the other areas of the recall. Thanks again, randy.

The consumer noticed a brake problem on September 8, 2005. Nhtsa recall 05v379000 for the service brakes was issued. Contacted the dealer and the manufacturer, and they said this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN. . When going between 1-10 mph the abs system will kick and could hear a noise, the abs will let go then catch and let go again, then the brake pedal will down further. Had to stomp on the brake pedal in order to get the vehicle to stop, like loosing the brakes.

About 2 months ago, I had a low-speed collision in heavy traffic. At about 15-20 mph I braked hard, and the anti-lock brakes kicked in, but did not stop in the usual distance. I hit the vehicle in front of me. No damage or injuries, but very disconcerting. I read about the recall on the abs systems of these vehicles, and took it to the dealer toady to have it performed. I was told my VIN was not on the recall list, and did not qualify. I'm having the work done anyway, at my expense. I also just failed my first NJ state inspection due to the emergency brake not holding. The brake has never been used. I also see a recall on this class of vehicle (k2500)for this item, and asked the dealer to perform this recall. I was told again this VIN was not on the recall list. Again, I am having this work done at my expense. Thank you.

Nhtsa campaign id number : 05v379000 my Avalanche suffers from this exact symptom. Unfortunately I live in minnesota. . . And the NHTSA has decided to leave minnesota and wisconsin off the "salt belt" list. The state of minnesota uses more salt and cacl on our roads than any of those 2 states combined. For proof you can look at the bottom of my rusting truck. Please add my state to this recall or at least contact me on how I can have my truck serviced under this recall. Details: 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500 4x4 VIN: 3gngk23g62g191734 please contact me about what I can do to be included in this recall.

GMC recall abs - why only recall 14 - 20 states???? we lived at lake tahoe, CA when we purchased our brand new Avalanche, and lived there several years after. We have the brake problem!! we have to be extremely attentive when driving to be able to brake soon enough. Our brakes are no longer "quick" as they were when the truck was new. We have had several (unnecessary) brake jobs, and checks trying to make the brakes work correctly. No dealer has ever mentioned this problem, and always took our money and said our brakes were fine!! we were just about ready to get rid of the Avalanche (which we love!!) because of the brakes!!! can we get ours fixed through the recall????.

Nhtsa document 05v379000 describes the exact abs problem I have on my 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 truck. The current gm recall is not broad enough to consider the conditions we have in FL, and restricting this to northern states is ludicrous if this is a consistent manufacturer defect across all states/vehicles. Salt air and towing a boat (ie direct wheel contact with salt water on the ramp) very possibly have led to my problem. When applying the brakes at approx 4-5 mph the abs went on and I very narrowly missed hitting a vehicle in front of me because the truck did not want to brake/slow down.

When applying the brakes there was a delay in stopping. The consumer first experienced the problem on 7-15-05. The consumer took vehicle to the dealership and they told him that the abs control module needed to be replaced. Also, there was constant noise coming from the abs control module even when the vehicle was turned off. The consumer had to replace a battery because of this. The dealership unhooked the fuse to make it stop. The consumer experienced the same problem that was included in NHTSA recall 05v379000/gm recall 05068 . When contacting the manufacturer, they told consumer this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN.

Caller had faulty brakes for the last three weeks. While coming to a stop the brake will not hold and the vehicle kept rolling. Dealer said they will check it. Manufacturer has not been contacted yet. Vehicle was owned by nester brothers contractors.

2003 Chevrolet Avalanche. The consumer stated the brakes faded at 25000 miles. While sitting in traffic they will go to the floor. The dealership cannot duplicate the problem. These were the original brakes for the vehicle. This has not caused any injury or accidents. This started on June 15, 2005.

2002 Chevrolet Avalanche abs recall notice. . . Minnesota not included in recall due to salt corrosion.

Anti-lock brakes activate at low speed when trying to stop. Happens often and to correct problem I will remove fuse from abs system.

The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. While driving 5 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal and heard a buzzing noise coming from the steering area. The vehicle then began to pull to the right. The abs warning indicator light illuminated. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer. The manufacturer stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 05v379000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock). The failure mileage was 65,000 and current mileage was 104,000.

While driving at low speeds abs system engaged and caused extended stopping distance. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

Consumer complained about a brake problem. When applying the brakes they went down to the floor, losing about 95% of braking power. Consumer contacted the dealer and the manufacturer, neither was willing to assist the consumer.

I have a 2002 Avalanche and I am really disgusted that wisconsin is not included in the recall for the abs problem I. E. Wi is not a "salt belt" state. I had a mishap on Jan 3rd this year that I rear ended someone at a stop sign after they started to go and then stopped suddenly. Now I'm wondering it would have happened if this was fixed.

When braking at any speed there would be intermittent extended stopping distance. The brake pedal went to the floor. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

The vehicle is a 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. 1]the intermediate steering shaft has gone bad twice in 61,000 miles, dealer refuses to fix. This could cause the u-joint in the steering shaft to fracture on rough roads. 2] the abs brake system has intermittent failure problems, this could cause a loss of brakes at slower speeds and cause an accident.

While driving on wet pavement at approximately 25 mph, I attempted to slow my vehicle as I approached an area of flowing water. I applied the brakes as I normally would. The vehicle did not slow up, instead, the back end began to break loose and spin around. The vehicle spun around twice and came to rest against a utility pole. The abs brakes obvoiusly did not perform as they should have. Instead of slowing the vehicle, they caused the vehicle to go into the uncontrollable spinout.

The consumer bought this vehicle brand new, the brakes will come on by themselves. Took the vehicle to the dealer, they said the brake fluid was contaminated. Then, took vehicle to GMC, they gave the consumer a run around and thought that consumer did something to it. The vehicle has been sitting for a little over a month. Now, took it to a local mechanic, who determined that the brake fluid was not contaminated. The dealership said this vehicle was not covered under a warranty, and noticed this on October 1, 2004.

After green light and I crossing main road north on paxton st. Advancing at aprox. 30 mph a truck in front stopped quickly to make a 'u' turn on paxton and I slammed my brakes at least 400 feet away but my truck didn't stop and crashed to the back of the other truck. My insurance paid for repairs of other vehicle but fearing premium increase I didn't claim the extensive damage on my avalanche truck. As of today I haven't received a recall from gm about repairs needed on my trucks abs braking system. Police report available and bob watson Chevrolet dealer knows about my trucks damage.

When the consumer applied the brakes the pedal went down to the floor and there were no brakes. This forced the driver to pull off the road. Returned usps, 2nd attempt made 10/16/07 failed .

I have had problems stopping and have had the brakes checked several times, and the brakes were not the problems. With the problem of stopping some of the times there is noise when braking in low-speed; and there were times I did not stop, but pulled to the shoulder. I was on this site looking for a recall for this problem, and there is one, but not for the state of maryland.
