There is a recall #04004. "brake hydro-boost relief valve" but my VIN# is not on the list. Over 64,000 vehicles were affected and there is a "#1" on the mounting surface. All of the units detected a machining error in the relief bore cavity for modules produced from a machine identified as "fadal #1" this can and has caused my 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe to have no power assist with my steering and no power brakes. I have found myself holding two feet on the brake pedal at a red light. And can not operate in small spaces such as parking garages and certain parking stalls. I wanted to know if there is something more that I can do in regards to this particular recall and find out if there is some mistake as far as my VIN# not being recognized but yet experiencing the same problems. My vehicle has become inoperable for that it is unsafe to drive with the no power assist and could cause a major accident. . . I want to see about receiving some aid in all this. This has been a issue since August of 2019. It has caused me to lose work for a lack of transportation. My credit has fallen behind because of not being able to make it to work and spending my savings on trying to guess at what is wrong with it. For it is my only vehicle. Now that the covid-19 is here is a double whamy! in dire straits - cali lovin my 4x4 - heather.

Tl- the contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the brake pedal had been applied, had gone to the floor board and a warning light illuminated for stability system disabled- service brake system flashed on the dashboard. The contact had to apply force to the brake pedal to maneuver the vehicle out of a drive through area at a business establishment, turned off the vehicle, restarted the vehicle.

While away from home and towing my boat I started to lose braking power and was barely able to stop. The amount of rust on the lines and poor quality of the components and the way they route them they should be ashamed. I count myself lucky that neither I or anyone else was injured.

Driving about 20 mph appled brakes suddenly. . . Next time apllied brake ,brake pedal went to floor was able to stop but barely. . . And almost hit the car in front of me. . . Brakes lines rusted out . . . . This is a known gm problem. . . . Please someone help. . . . Someone could have been killed. . . . .

I was launching my boat on a boat ramp to a lake. When backing up to the water I pressed my brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor. I was able to put the truck in the forward gear to get out of the water. The break line was leaking. I looked under the vehicle and all the lines where rusted out. I was told that the break line had failed because it was rusted out. This is extremely dangerous. There should be some type of warning to other Tahoe owners and a recall.

A few weeks ago I was traveling down hwy 60 in southwest missouri and the "reduced engine power" light came on. The vehicle immediately slowed to about 4-5 miles per hour and I was unable to accelerate. I crawled to the next exit where I barely made it up the incline and into a gas station. We checked the gas, oil, battery, etc. I turned off the vehicle and when I started it up again, it seemed fine. I continued home. The next day I took it to a mechanic who said that it all checked out perfectly and there was nothing wrong. This has happened 12-15 times in the last month and every time I take it to the mechanic, he tells me that the computer is not "throwing codes" and there is nothing wrong. This is not a figment of my imagination. This keeps happening. The most recent "episode" was last night. We took the boat down to the river to go gigging at night. When I went to pull the trailer up the boat ramp and park the vehicle, the "reduced engine power" light again came on and I could not pull up the hill. Every time I attempted it, the light came on and I actually went backwards towards the river!! my children were in the vehicle and I was scared we would be trapped it something further malfunctioned and we rolled back into the deep cold water!!! from what I have now researched gm is aware of this problem and I do not understand why a problem this potentially deadly has not been dealt with! I am not the first owner of this vehicle and have never had a problem like this. I am a single mother of three beautiful boys and I am scared to drive my car because of this. I cannot put them in a potentially deadly situation. So our only vehicle sits and waits in our driveway leaving me stranded a lot until gm can come up with a solution on their dime. This isn't fair that a problem is know and no one at gm will fix it. Please help fix this before someone dies!.

Vehicle (2004 Chevrolet z71 4x4) pulls consistently to the right upon firm brake application (such as from a 65 mph coasting condition). At the same time, the vehicle's rear end swings out to the left making for a very unstable situation. When you let off of the brake pedal the vehicle darts to the left due, I assume, to the left-input on the steering wheel that you've had to sustain to keep the truck in its lane. I drove several loaners from the selling dealer that, to my surprise, all did the exact same thing. Several dealership service department management individuals confirmed that their z71 were also afflicted. The brake technician at the dealership stated that he found my vehicle "dangerous" and that he would not put his family in it. Dealership service personnel stated that they had contacted Chevrolet technical assistance and were told that Chevrolet was aware of the condition, as they had attempted to cure it in a vehicle they had at the detroit-area manufacturing facility, but were unable. Therefore, since all of these vehicles pull to the right when braking, it must be "normal. " no fix to be had. I strongly disagree with the conclusion that it is normal, and have driven in excess of several thousand vehicles as my basis for disagreement. I am at a loss to explain why this condition has not caught the attention of NHTSA, and is not the source of massive complaint by the general public. Anyone else who experiences this condition, please chime in and let your voice be heard.
