Engine Belts And Pulleys problems of the 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe

: the contact stated while driving the abs activated, causing the contact' to lose control of the vehicle. The contact applied pressure to the brakes twice before the vehicle stopped. After the first incident there was extended stopping distance at low speeds. The dealership determined there was corrosion on the abs sensors. The abs sensors were cleaned in December of 2004. The abs problem recurred, and outdoor temperatures decreased. The serpentine belt was replaced. Updated 01/19/06.

I brought my 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe to alexandria Buick-pontiac-GMC in alexandria, virginia on December 14, 2005 because the abs light kept coming on in the dashboard. Mechanic diagnosis was speed sensors were missing. He replaced the hub assemblies and speed sensors. Total repair was $1064. 54. I then found out that a recall on the problem I had just repaired was going on in the "rust belt" states and canada. The recall was for the whole northeast part of the country down to and including washington DC. I work in washington and live about 5 miles from the city. I wrote the gm claims department with copies of every receipt and a copy of the recall letter. They contacted me and told me the repair was indeed one included within the recall, but they were denying the claim because I live in virginia and the recall is only valid in "salt belt" states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maryland, massachusetts, maine, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia, wisconsin and the district of columbia. I want the recall to be opened back up and to include additional states. I spend every single day in washington, what makes my claim any different from the person that lives 5 miles away from me, but happens to live across the state border? what is different from someone who lives in washington and works in virginia? since my home address was virginia, my claim was denied. The recall campaign # is 05v379000. The engine light illuminated, the serpentine belt was repalced. The water pump was leaking abd the pinion seal was replaced. Updated 02/09/06.
