Original owner of 1999 Tahoe. Since purchase, I have felt that the truck was not stopping well, even at low speeds. I returned to dealer and they continued to say nothing was wrong. Since that time, I have had four different dealers in three states and two private mechanics look at it. All have said it "performs as intended". the brakes were worked on seven times that I have records for. At 17K miles, 32K miles, rear brakes were cleaned and adjusted. At 36K, front rotors were resurfaced, rear brakes cleaned/adjusted. At 47K, front rotors were replaced and rear drums were turned. Replaced pads. Rears adjusted at 59K. At 72K, replaced front brakes and machined rotors. Cleaned/adjusted rears. This continues on every 20K miles or so and still the truck does not stop under normal conditions even at low speeds. The rear brake adjustments only last about two weeks, then back to the same thing. Luckily, I have not had an accident yet but have had to pull to the side to avoid hitting car in front of me.

The brakes had many repairs. Had them readjusted, bled, and replaced the brake pads. The problem happened multiple times, the most recent was on September 19, 2005. There have been no accidents as of yet. The brakes were not holding, and they went all the way to the floor. When consumer took vehicle to dealer for repairs they tell her that nothing was wrong. NHTSA recall 05V379000 was issued. But when the consumer contacted the manufacturer they told her that this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN.

While driving at 45 mph and under the brakes failed to engage properly. The car will not stop properly. The consumer has to pump on the brakes to stop-sometimes this did not work. The vehicle was taken to Chevrolet dealer, and they said there was a problem with the ABS brakes. No repairs or corrections were made. At one incident the consumer was towing a horse trailer at 45 mph. When brake pressure was applied, there were no brakes, a complete failure, causing the horse trailer to jackknife.

Beginning in July, the consumer had a problem with the brakes during low speed brake applications. When approaching a stop sign, the brakes would grab. The brake pedal would fluctuate. There was a feeling like being on ice. The problem happened about 85-90 percent of the time. The problem became worse with time. The consumer checked on the recall 05V379000. His vehicle identification number was not included according to the dealer. They stated that the owner has the old wheel speed sensors and those were not affected by the recall. The consumer would like to alert NHTSA that his vehicle still has the exact problem listed in the recall. The consumer has not repaired it yet. The consumer has almost rear ended a car due to the ABS activation and extended stopping distance. Update 1/11/2006 -

I am the original owner of a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe. I have been having trouble with the brakes since 2001. I have had them replaced twice since my mileage on the vehicle is over 70,000. My problem is that they still don't feel right....I've mentioned this to both a GM dealer and private auto garage and they can find nothing wrong. I feel that the ABS recall just announced will fix my problem. I looked at the list of states at www.kyw.com and noticed that Delaware is not listed. How can I be a part of this recall so that I don't become an accident statistic? I phoned GM and they don't have any information in their computers about this recall yet. I was informed that you it is still in the works.

The consumer believes his vehicle should be included in recall#05V379000 concerning anti lock brakes. This vehicle was having the same problem with ABS as stated in the recall. The consumer was told by the dealer and manufacturer that his vehicle was not included in the recall because the state in which the vehicle was located was not considered the salt belt.

Experience unwanted antilock brake system (ABS) activation and increased stopping distances during low speed brake applications. We have filed a previous complaint for NHTSA campaign id 05V379000 which prompted GM to recall some of the vehicles affected by this problem. Vehicles in our state of Wisconsin were not included in this recall. When asking for the number of failures, I entered 100, but it happens everyday at just about every attempt we make at stopping the vehicle.

- Eau Claire, WI, USA

I am writing ref NHTSA campaign id - 05V379000 I have experienced this symptom several times and always thought it was something I had done wrong. My complaint is that my state is not included in the recall and I can assure you that Maryland uses a tremendous amount of salt in the winter. I can't remember the last time it occurred but am putting in today's date to finish the form.

(1) braking on dry ground (2) ABS engages at speeds below 5 mph, brake distance is increase unexpectedly (3) no repair yet, dealer says entire brake assembly needs to be exchanged.

In an unloaded (normal) condition. The brakes are very ineffective. Almost to the point of not being useful. I've had them looked at by both a dealer and midas and they both said everything seems fine. The lack of sufficient braking power has made me come very close to causing an acident on multiple occasions. I have been told by more than one people that this is the norm for this series of Chevy. I consider this a very hazardous item and I would be selling the vehicle if my finances allowed at this time. The truck is a 99 model and I bought it used in 04.

1999 Chevrolet Tahoe experiencing problems with the brake equipment. The ABS activated at low speeds and while on dry pavement which reduced the braking effect and increased stopping distance. The ABS light now remains on while the vehicle is in motion. The dealer suggested that the ABS module be replaced after the first attempt to clean the corrosion on the electrical connector did not work.

Occasionally while braking on dry and clear pavement my 1999 Chevy Tahoe will appear to activate the ABS system. This occurs at low speed and extends the stopping distance of the vehicle. First observed about January 2005.
