general problems of the 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe

The abs caught on fire. Lost brakes and all brake fluid, no police reports because it was in my alley way as soon as I started moving, when it happened the abs and brake lights both came on at the same time. No prior warning.

Abs/traction control wheel speed sensors corroded, causing the abs to activate at low speeds and making it impossible to stop the car. This is the same issue as has been reported for other VIN numbers of the same vehicle; see safety recall 05068 front wheel speed sensor corrosion, https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/rcl/2005/rcrit-05v379-8709. Pdf. However, that recall was limited to vehicles registered in the "rust belt" states; it appears that as this vintage of vehicle has aged, vehicles outside the rust belt now are experiencing the same problem, suggesting that the recall should be broadened.

I own a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe. I began having trouble stopping at low speeds, the abs system is engaging when I drop below approximately 10 mph, making it very difficult to stop at low speeds. The first time it happened, I almost drove off a cliff on a mountain road because I couldn't stop the truck. The cliff is approximately 1,500 feet down - we are very lucky we aren't dead because we only stopped a few feet from the edge.

The condition was more likely to occur in environmentally corrosive areas. The recall was launched only in the "salt belt" states.

I called the manufacturer (gm/chevy) to inform them of the abs issue, and they stated that the VIN was not included in the recall even though the failures were identical. The mileage is 222,400.
