Bought vehicle used from GM dealer Jan 2003. In Sept 2007, this GM dealer replaced left front hub assy due to ABS stopping problems under 10 mph charging me $605 (vehicle had 95,000 miles). In Dec 2011, at 151,000 miles the vehicle again had ABS stopped problems under 10 mph. This time repairs required from another GM dealer were replacement of two new front ABS sensors charging me $340. Both dealers stated not covered under NHTSA 05V379000.

ABS engages on my Chevrolet Tahoe as I come to a stop, preventing me to stop in a reasonably expected distance. I have a 1999 Tahoe that seems to have the exact same problem addressed by NHTSA recall campaign number 05V37900, GM recall number 05068. The problem occurs every time I come to a complete stop. As the vehicle slows to 1 or 2 mph the ABS engages and increases the stopping distance. The vehicle was purchased and registered and used in New York from new till present. New York is one of the salt belt states that is covered in the recall listed above. I have contacted GM and they told me the recall did not apply to my particular Tahoe. I bought the vehicle brand new in 1998. The rep at GM could not explain why my particular vehicle was not covered by the recall..the vehicle was looked at by a GM mechanic. He said the sensors would have to be removed, cleaned, anti-rust material applied, and replaced. The work has not been done yet.

I purchased this vehicle from my nephew on 11/30/07. Since then, at least a dozen times, the brakes pulsate at very low speeds. An online search seemed to indicate this is a problem with rust or dirt causing the ABS sensors to register incorrectly. On 12/05/07, I took the vehicle to a dealership to have the ABS sensors and ring cleaned. I was informed later that 3 of the 4 sensors were electrically bad and needed to be replaced and it would cost almost $800. The ABS warning light has not once come on to indicate there was an ABS problem. GM should be required to recall all vehicles suspected to have ABS sensor/ring problems and vehicles in which the ABS warning system does not function correctly.
