ABS/Traction Control wheel speed sensors corroded, causing the ABS to activate at low speeds and making it impossible to stop the car. This is the same issue as has been reported for other VIN numbers of the same vehicle; see Safety Recall 05068 Front Wheel Speed Sensor Corrosion, https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2005/RCRIT-05V379-8709.pdf. However, that recall was limited to vehicles registered in the "Rust Belt" states; it appears that as this vintage of vehicle has aged, vehicles outside the Rust Belt now are experiencing the same problem, suggesting that the recall should be broadened.

While driving my vehicle, I applied the brakes to stop at a traffic light, and the brake pedal traveled all the way to the floor. The Tahoe finally stopped after a much longer than normal distance. After inspecting the master cylinder, there was hardly any brake fluid remaining. I found that the brake lines were very rusted, and that the line going to the rear brakes was rusted through. This rusting of the brake lines should never occur !

Hello I am experiencing the exact symptoms described in GM recall 05068C "these vehicles may have a condition permitting corrosion to occur between the front hub/bearing assembly and the wheel speed sensor. If the brakes are applied while the vehicle is traveling at a speed of greater than 6 km/H (3.7 mph) but less than 16 km/H (10 mph), the corrosion may cause an unwanted antilock brake system (ABS) activation. If this condition occurred where stopping distance is limited, a crash could occur. " however, my VIN is not included in the breakpoints, even though I have a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe. I can demonstrate that this is the problem in two ways, first by reproducing with a scan tool that shows unexpected ABS activation during stopping at this low speed, and second after pulling the ABS fuse this problem does not happen. This clearly points to the ABS issue mentioned in the recall. I have contacted two local dealerships, and after I asked about recalls they said my VIN was invalid. Then I contacted the Chevy contact center and they said there are no recalls for my vehicle. So now what - should I just replace the ABS sensors and move on, or is there any chance of getting this acknowledged by GM as part of the recall?

Driving to gas station prior to going on vacation, applied brakes and peddle went to the floor with no warning lights on to indicate failure of the brake system. I found brake tubing failure on rear drivers side. The tubing is so rusted that it can not be repaired and must be replaced at a dealer the cost is around $3000 for all new brake tubing, probably why GM has not fixed the problem it's a big money maker.
