2001 Chevrolet Tahoe abs module failed at 40000 miles. Replaced the part, then it failed again at 80000 miles. Two failures of the exact same safety related component in 80000 miles seems excessive.

We reported to the dealership 5 times that something was wrong with this vehicle. We took it to an independent auto mechanic who discovered that abs sytem was failing. We attended an arbitration where our 2001 Tahoe was ruled defective by theharbitrator and Chevrolet was ordered to repurchase it. The repurchase date was Nov. 8. On Nov 5, the abs lost control and my husband rolled down a 200 ft cliff. We are currently seeking any help we can get.
