I have a 2000 Tahoe and am having a problem with the abs as described in the recall. Gm is telling me it was not included in the recall because of the manufacturing location of my vehicle. This is absurd. I live in an area where road salt is used and winter corrosion is possible. This is a dangerous issue and should include all vehicles regardless of where they were manufactured. How does gm know where the vehicle went after it was purchased, they don't. I almost hit a pedestrian in the crosswalk a few days because the abs came on while I was going very slow.

No brakes at low speed on my Tahoe. The truck was recalled in 2006 for anti-lock brake issues.

: the contact stated the abs activates at low speeds or when the roads are icy or wet. This caused the contact to rear end 2 vehicles. There is a NHTSA recall, # 05v379000, regarding the anti-lock brakes. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however, it is not included in the recall due to the VIN.

Anti- lock brakes activate when I am below 10 mph causing near rear end collisions due to excessive stopping distances.

I heard of a recall on cnn, and investigated it further on your website, campaign id number 05v379000, dated 8/29/05. When I called Chevrolet to get this fixed on my vehicle, because I was having the same trouble with the antilock brakes, they informed me this recall did not include the state of utah. My antilock brakes activate quite often at low speeds and cause me to skid, which could very easily cause an accident, but has not yet to date. Where the recall is known, I don't understand how this could not include my vehicle when I am experiencing the exact same problems. I have experienced this literally hundreds of times in the last few years.

Gm recall; 05068 states "certain . . . Vehicles may experience unwanted anti-lock brake system activation. This condition to more likely occur in environmentally corrosive areas. This recall will be launched in the "salt belt" states of. . . " and excludes mn and WI. This is due to fewer complaints. This is irrelevant since the safety consequence is"this can cause increased stopping distance during low-speed braking applications, which could result in crash. " the root cause seems to be salt corrosion and that should determine the location, not "complaints, accidents or fatalities" as I was informed by my call to gm. I have not been given a valid reason why I am safe from this issue because I live in minnesota and use more salt than 50% of the other states on the list.

Exiting freeway brakes were applied at a slow speed , brake pedal pushed back on my foot and vehicle did not stop as if I didn't have any brakes. Had to take my foot off the brake and pump them. I was very fortunate that there was no one (car or person) ahead of me. These were abs brakes and at slow speeds they fail. According to a new media there is no recall on my vehicle (2000 Tahoe) because we do not live in rust or salt belt. Our area does have significant amounts of rain and snow and use of salt on the roads to cause problems with these brakes. It is interesting that when this happens in other states, there is a recall but in WI there is not. Apparrently life and limb are not as important as in other states. I will be awaiting your immediate reply by phone, letter, email or fax. Thank you in advance. Floyd j. Michaels.

Upon stopping on slick roads, the antilock system activated and the motor continues to run all day, even after shutting engine off. Had to remove the maxi fuse to shut it off.

This is a small town and 3 vehicles with the same safety problems in the braking system should be addressed by a recall.

When slowing down to a stop, my chevy Tahoe's anti lock brakes randomly kick on and keep my vehicle from coming to a regular stop, my braking distance is varied.

The service departments informed me that they had replaced approximately 6 other Chevrolet sports/utility vehicles (ie Tahoe or truck) abs modules, and believed that the modules should have been recalled. This is a fairly small dealership. Chevrolet dismissed my report because the truck and Tahoe were different models. However, from what I understand the Tahoe/suburban and trucks are the same basic vehicle, except for the chasis.

The vehicle continued to move with the brake pedal to the floor. The abs system appeared to be in operation. The accident stopped vehicle.

While pressing on brakes vehicle surges forward.

Intermittently when brakes are applied pedal goes to floor, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer has inspected vehicle, and could not duplicate or correct the problem. Manufacturer has been notified.
