MY 1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE (2DR, 4X4) HAD AN ABS SENSOR FAILURE DUE TO DEBRIS BUILDUP WHICH CASED THE ABS TO INDICATE A FALSE WHEEL LOCK AT LOW SPEEDS ON DRY PAVEMENT. THIS FAILURE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FAILURES THAT PROMPTED THE CANADIAN RECALL OF GM SUVS HAVING THIS ABS CONFIGURATION. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY, AND CLEAN ALL OF THE ABS SENSORS IN ORDER TO STOP THE FALSE TRIGGERING OF THE ABS SYSTEM. *NM

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES ON MY 1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE, SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN NOTED IN THE RECENT RECALL NUMBER 05V3790000. I HAD A SLOW SPEED IMPACT CRASH IN 1998 THAT RESULTED IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE THAT I REAR ENDED, AND MINOR DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. I REMEMBER THINKING AT THE TIME, THAT IT SURE TOOK A LONG TIME FOR MY VEHICLE TO COME TO A STOP, CONSIDERING THAT I WAS TRAVELING AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED, BUT I ATTRIBUTED IT TO MY VEHICLE'S HEAVIER WEIGHT, BUT ALSO THINKING, IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THAT BAD, BECAUSE MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. IT TOOK FOREVER FOR ME TO STOP, AND I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKE PADS…

I HAVE A 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TRUCK THAT HAS DEFECTIVE ABS BRAKES. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I NEARLY CRASHED WHEN I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS EVEN THOUGH I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH ALL MY MIGHT. I HAD THE BRAKE SYSTEM REPAIRED AT A SMALL SHOP AT A COST OF OVER $300.00 BUT THE "FIX" WAS ONLY TEMPORARY. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS A DEFECT IN GENERAL MOTORS DESIGN RELATING TO IMPROPER VOLTAGES TO THE SENSORS. I HAVE HAD MANY NEAR ACCIDENTS SINCE THEN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND AM AFRAID AN ACCIDENT WILL OCCUR IN ALL LIKELIHOOD. THE LATEST INCIDENT OCCURRED AT A RESTAURANT WHERE I CAME VERY CLOSE TO STRIKING A TREE.

DURING A RAIN STORM ON 4/2/05, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN MID-STREAM. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD RATHER SUDDENLY, NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED NOR CRASHES, HOWEVER IWAS VERY SHAKEN BY IT ALL. I ACTUALLY SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL THE RAIN TURNED INTO A DRIZZLE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD A PULSE CONTROL MODULE WAS NEEDED, THE PART WAS REPLACE FOR $239.98.*AK
