Brake Antilock Control Unit/module problems of the 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe

There is NHTSA recall campaign 05v379000 concerning the anti lock brakes. This vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall, but it is not included in the recall due to VIN. Dealers have been telling me that this recall does not cover 2000 Tahoe with the old body style (ie. As indicated by the VIN).

I own a 2000 chevy Tahoe. For the past 2 years, I experienced occasional problems stopping under 10 mph due to the faulty activation of the abs. On several occasions I barely avoided a dangerous crash. I called art moehn Chevrolet in jackson, michigan about the problem and was told I could make an appointment to have the problem repaired. No mention was made of the possible recall. I took the vehicle to art moehn Chevrolet in jackson, michigan on April 7, 2006. The problem was repaired at a cost to me of $241. 60. I did research on the internet about the abs problem and located a recall for 1999-2002 gm trucks (see nhsta recall campaign number 05v37900). I contacted the dealer and was told that my VIN # was not part of the recall. The brake work done on my 2000 Tahoe is the exact repair sent to chevy dealers by gm for the recalled vehicles (see gm bulletin # 05068b). I am seeking full reimbursement of my costs for repair under the recall notice. Thank you.

While driving, the anti-lock brakes engaged without incident and failed to disengage, even when the ignition was turned off and the key was removed, the module continued to run. Dealer diagnosed the abs module had failed.

Problems with vehicle's anti-lock brakes every time the consumer went to drive the anti-lock brakes will cut on. While driving the abs brakes engaged and would not disengage although the ignition switch was turned off and the key was removed. The dealer diagnosed the problem as an abs module failure.
