general problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe

Exiting from the expressway with traffic light about 20 yards away, cars were stoped due to red light and I am coming down hill exiting. Applying the breaks and the paddle goes to the floor, I rear ended the vehicle on the far right .

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the cruise control was inoperable. The abs and the parking brake warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 172,000.

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe. While driving 60 mph in rainy weather, the brakes were abruptly applied to avoid a collision. The brakes did not respond and the contact swerved to avoid crashing into the rear of another vehicle. The contact crashed into a ditch. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was not filed. The contact was not injured. The vehicle was able to be driven to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.

Stopped at mailbox to collect mail. Braked, put vehicle in park. Stepped on brake pedal to place vehicle in drive, felt 'pop' sensation in the pedal. Brake pedal went to floor. Upon visual inspection, at least one line has ruptured.

Leaving my driveway brakes felt soft. Parked and pumped brakes twice and line that was rusted failed. Multiple lines that are rusted badly. No brake pedal what so ever.

Driving at 35mph went to apply brakes and lost all brakes,this incident also happened in June 2013. This is a known defect since the early 2000. Gm refuses to recall these vehicles in the northeast claiming its owner responsibility. Since June 2013 I invested over $1000. 00 in repairs. Had I been going a faster speed I could have caused a serious accident and seriously injured myself and others.

I was letting my mother borrow my vehicle and thankfully she was on a side street on her way home from work. She went to apply the brakes and the pedal went to the floor and she lost all brake power. Had it towed to a mechanic and they said all my lines are rusted threw and would like $1400 to replace them all. Unfortunately this is the second time this has happened and I think should be closer looked at by gm as we were lucky both times that we were not at high speeds were an accident could have occurred.

Breaks failed at stop sign due to break line failure corrosion. All break lines and parts of fuel lines very rusty!! there should be a recall!!!!.

Brakes line burst due to excess amount of rust under vehicle. Called dealer where it has been serviced for last 8 years. Service manager said he was well aware of problem and that replacement lines. . . Not revised one but oem ones which will do the same again we're back ordered due to demand. He said a lot of clients were having their vehicles resolved and that replacement part could possibly be months to obtain. . Idiots and when is chevy going to do something before more people get hurt or worse? classictube. Com has a stainless kit for $450. Replaces every part brake fluid runs through. We'll worth it for peace of mind. Hate gm for denying claim. Hope a lot of them drive same vehicles and learns about the life threatening issue first hand or has family affected. . . Angry father, husband and owner.

Brakes lines rusted out. Brake fluid expelled.

Returned to a friends from a trip to access my vehicle and head for home. Brakes pushed to the floor and when I tried to move a little, car wouldn't stop with either the brake or emergency brake and proceeded to roll orward into a steep embankment in front of my friend's home. Luckily I was not injured but needed all the brakes repaired and drivers side door replaced. I am in the processs of waiting to hear from my claims adjuster.

Anti lock brakes activating at low speed on dry pavement, requiring harder braking effort. Also hearing four chimes when turning at low speeds.

Feels like abs brakes are trying to function at low speeds. Tahoe hesitates to stop at slow speeds.

I own a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe z71 and recently experienced some problems with the abs. When slowing down, below 10mph, the abs kicks in randomly. This happens on clean, dry pavement. This is a frightening thing to happen to someone, especially someone who is driving around two small children. I did some online research and noticed this seems to be a common problem. I also noticed there was a recall for older vehicles that this was happening to and I wonder why the recall doesn't pertain to 2003 and newer vehicles. I would appreciate someone looking into this further and make some type of resolution to the problem. I do see a bulletin posted by Chevrolet so apparently this is a common and dangerous occurrence.
