1997 Tahoe had a stick substance in the cargo area. The black rubber piece that is attached to the iron bar that the tire is mounted to has been melting and dripping into the cargo area. The substance was very strong and made the consumer feel sick while driving the vehicle.

My anti-lock brakes kick in when applying the brakes at slow speeds. This happened last year and we had the parts replaced on one side (but don't remember the exact date). It is now happening again, and we believe the other side needs replacement. Also had the problem one time when I was just going slow in a parking lot and not applying brakes. Also having a problem with engine knock. Mechanic said it was a defect with the cyclinder.
