Brake Electric Antilock problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe

The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe. While driving at approximately 10 mph under snowy conditions, the contact depressed the brake pedal but the vehicle did not slow down. The contact called the manufacturer and was informed that the vehicle was not included in the recall 05v379000 (service brakes, hydraulic: anti-lock). The failure and current mileages were approximately 60,000. Updated 10/28/10 the consumer stated when he depressed the brake pedal, the vehicle slowed down gradually and eventually did stop, but at a ar greater distance than normal. The consumer believed that the computer detected slick road conditions and activated the anti-lock instead of the normal system. However, the abs did not work properly which left little braking capability. The consumer stated the repair cost $ 758. 68. Updated 11/01/10.

I have a 2002 chevy Tahoe and because I live in CA, I am not covered under the hub bearing recall. I hear noises when I break and sometimes my car jerks forward when I'm stopping. I have had no accidents yet but I'm upset that I have to pay for a problem that is an apparent issue.

(1)I've recently experienced issues with my anti-lock brakes on my 2002 chevy Tahoe. I consulted with my mechanic and understand that if I lived in several states in the "salt belt" or canada, this issue would be considered a safety concern and covered with a recall. However, since I live in minnesota (where we have significant snow and ice each winter, and salt is heavily used on the roads) the recall does not apply. To me, this indicates that my safety is not as important as those in other states who have perceived worse winter conditions? (2) I am going to have to get this issue repaired, and would prefer it to be covered. I just purchased this vehicle (gm certified used) in February and would have hoped it would be in great condition. If I do not get this taken care of, my understanding is that accidents could result from malfunctioning brakes. (3) I have contacted gm in an effort to get this taken care of, so we'll see if they come through. However, my research doesn't give me great confidence. I wanted to file a complaint here in hopes that others from mn (or WI, for that matter) with the same issue wouldn't have the same frustrating experience.

Unwanted activation of anti-lock brakes. It has happened several times in the last two months and is very dangerous. I noticed that there is a product recall for this very issue and want something done about it.

The consumer was having a problem with 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe. The abs system activated at low speeds. This has caused a couple of near misses because of the abs kicking in. This is happening around 90 % of the time. The consumer has just had the brakes and rotors replaced , and this has not helped the situation. The consumer will call gm today, and the dealership has confirmed that it was the abs system activating. The consumer was upset that she saw the tbs from the dealership and she thought that gm should have corrected this problem long before now. The speed is 20 or below.

The contact stated abs brake system malfunctioned. The dealer and manufacturer informed the contact that his state of residence was not included in NHTSA recall 05v379000 concerning anti lock brakes. The consumer stated when he applied the brakes, the abs would engage which made it difficult to stop the vehicle. Updated 11/29/05.

2002 Chevrolet Tahoe. Having problem with the abs system. It happened three times. The last time it happened on April 15, 2005 caroline was coming off ramp at 10 mph there was water draining off side, there was no warning light, the brake pedal went all the way down, and the car did not stop. The car was taken to the dealer on April 18,2005, and the dealer stated there was nothing wrong with the abs system. Driver's front door seems to fill with water. No water found in door. Door is designed to allow water to go in door and drain out bottom. Idle is rough. Dealer let vehicle idle in stall for approximately 30 minutes with no rough idle noted.

Vehicle traction seems to be slipping when turning right or left.

At slow speeds and usually under damp conditions, the antilock brakes on my 2002 Tahoe take hold when I am stopping and allow the car to continue at least 10 feet ahead into the roadway with no stopping the vehicle. Condition can easily cause accidents as I have had numerous close calls. No codes appear on auto computer when I take it to the dealer. There is a recall #05v379000 that exactly explains the situation but since my VIN# does not seem to be included in the recall, Chevrolet will do nothing about the situation which has been ongoing since March of 2004. I have had the vehicle in many times and just discovered on my own that sept 22, 2005 this recall came out. I had the vehicle to sigel Chevrolet for the third time on sept 14, 2005 and was once again told that the brakes were functioning properly. They could not duplicate the situation so it must not be happening. When I nearly hit our garage door on 11/16/2007 with my husband as a passenger in the car, I went looking for any recall information and found that there was one out there but the dealer told me it did not apply to me and so did Chevrolet customer service who has a file on this now (#71-578554426) but they still denied there is anything they should be doing. On 11/30/07 I took the vehicle in again for a diagnosis as suggested by Chevrolet customer service and again they found nothing but I requested the dealer perform the remedy that is explained on the recall notice and I paid for that service to be done.

While driving, applied brakes and without warning all four wheels locked up, resulting in vehicle skidding out of control, this malfunction was not serviced by dealer. The dealer refused to service vehicle. They took the wheels off and took pictures of the brakes, the chassis, under carriage and the speedometer. The pictures were sent to the factory for evaluation. They stated that nothing was wrong with the vehicle. The vehicle has experienced problems with the braking on four different occasions driven by different people. Gm refuses to acknowledge that there is something wrong with the brake system on this vehicle.

Consumer complained about stopping problems. . A number of times she tried to come to a stop, and vehicle did not stop. She took vehicle to repair shop several times, and mechanic determined that the abs brakes were dirty , and cleaned them. But that did not help. Consumer took vehicle to another dealer, who stated that there was nothing wrong with abs brakes.
