Abs intermittently came on when I apply the brakes. After several weeks of this happening the brakes became very mushy. Changed both front wheel sensors but didn't fix the problem. Took to repair shop and they said the brake modulator was bad - $1200 to repair. We disconnected the anti-lock brake system at this point. Brakes work fine without it.
The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe. While driving between 3-6 mph, the brake pedal pulsated when it was depressed. The contact stated that the sensors failed. The dealer stated that the VIN was excluded from NHTSA campaign id number 05v379000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock), although the failures were identical. The contact would have to pay $705 to repair the vehicle. The state where he resides is included in the recall. The contact still drives the vehicle and shifts into neutral or turns off the vehicle when needing to brake, in order to avoid crashing into the preceding vehicle. The recall indicates that the failure occurs in corrosive areas. The failure mileage was 120,000 and current mileage was 127,000.
The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe. While depressing the brake pedal and decelerating from 20 mph, the antilock brake system (abs) unexpectedly activates. The failure increased the stopping distance. The vehicle was taken to an auto service center and the contact was informed that the front wheel sensors failed. The dealer stated that his VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 05v379000 (service brakes, hydraulic: antilock). The purchase date was unknown. The current mileage was 79,000 and failure mileage was 77,000. Updated 04/25/08.
Minnesota is a "salt" state. The bearing/abs sensor assembly has become "bad" on my 2000 Tahoe causing unwanted and unsafe abs activation at slow speeds parking or just before coming to a full stop. The recall should cover minnesota as a state with corrosion impacts. A $35,000 vehicle 5 years old, truck class should not require consumers to pay $578 per wheel to correct an obvious and unsafe design flaw.
The contact stated while driving abs activated at low speeds without warning. This occurred on normal road conditions under normal braking, and this problem occurred repeatable. The wheel sensors were replaced. There was NHTSA recall campaign 05v379000 concerning the antilock brake system, but the state of virginia was not included. He contacted the dealership, and the manufacturer ,and they indicated more states were going to be added to the recall list.
Severe vibration while driving at 50 or more mph. On one occasion it almost caused vehicle to tip over. Vehicle been in dealer shop on 2 occasions, and unable to locate problem. Prior to the vibration proble, air bag sensor, both rear window motores and peeling das-board had been replaced. The dealer replaced brake sensors as a possible cause of vibration but the problem was not solved.
