1999 Chevrolet Tahoe (VIN 1gnek13rxxj442716) has been experiencing increasingly severe brake shudder and activation of abs system at low speeds for the past 6 weeks. Happens nearly every time I come to a slow stop and has caused dozens of near miss crashes in city traffic. Brought vehicle into dealership on October 14, 2005 and was informed that item was a corrosion problem and part of a recall. GMC was contacted directly and informed me (and the dealership) that my vehicle VIN was not part of the August 2005 recall notice and that problem was my own problem. Inspection of brakes by local dealership confirmed that defect was consistent with other recall items and involved a component that was actually operating defectively (as opposed to preventative replacement of the part). Recall should be re-examined and expanded.

The service person said he did observe the fact that my vehicle indeed has the problem, but they cannot fix it per gm's guidelines. I do not understand how - if it is evident the vehicle has the unsafe equipment/actions that warrant the recall, how can it be excluded from the recall? as of this date, I do not have an auto accident and/or personal injury on record due to the fact that I have learned to adjust my driving to avoid the obvious fact that, yes, I would have one or two rear-end accidents a week if I did not. This vehicle was purchased by me Dec 2004 and was a problem from the beginning. We did not immediately have the money to pay to have it fixed. My husband was checking to see if the wiper system had been recalled for some reason as they rarely work, when he discovered the brake problem was being investigated. So we have waited this process out, only to discover it does not include our Tahoe. As a matter of fact, when he printed the recall information out on 9/29/05, it listed the 1999 Tahoes, but now as of today, it has been changed to 2000 and newer. How can that be when my vehicle has the problem?.

I'm having to double pump the brakes and still pray it will stop in time. Most repair places want to replace the hubs for a very high price of $500 per wheel or more. I am a michigan resident living in a "salt belt" state and I'm not understanding why the 1999 year chevy Tahoe isn't covered under the recall for repairing the anti-lock brakes.
