1999 Chevrolet Suburban 1500

ON 9/15/10, I WAS ADVISED OF A POSSIBLE RECALL FOR A FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR ON MY 1999 CHEVY SUBURBAN. I RESEARCHED THE RECALL AND LOCATED THEM AT NHTSA #05V379000 AND NHTSA ACTION # PE05020. IT SEEMS THAT MY BRAKE PULSATES WHEN FULLY DEPRESSED. AFTER CONTACTING CHEVROLET CORPORATION AND NUMEROUS DEALERS, I WAS ADVISED THAT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, I WAS ADVISED THAT MY VEHICLE THROUGH THE VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT THE REPAIR CAN BE MADE AT MY EXPENSE AT ANY CHEVY DEALER. *TR

JULY 21, 2010 MY 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN'S BRAKES FAILED UNDER NORMAL USAGE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, RESULTING IN EXTREME LOSS OF BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS. IT WAS SAFELY PARKED WITHOUT INJURY OR ACCIDENT. A BRAKE LINE FAILED DRAINING THE BRAKE FLUID. THE REST OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AND WAS IN WORKING ORDER. THE BURST FAILURE OF THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE TUBING WAS DUE TO CORROSION. THE VEHICLE HAS 201,400 MILES, MOSTLY IN THE LOUISVILLE AREA, WHICH IS NOT AN AGGRESSIVE CORROSION ENVIRONMENT. I HAD IT TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALER. AFTER INSPECTION, THE SERVICE MANAGER RECOMMENDED ALL BRAKE LINES BE REPLACED DUE TO CORROSION, NOT JUST THE ONE THAT FAILED. THE TOW AND REPAIR COST $1105. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION AND FAILED PARTS. THIS UNACCEPTABLE SAFETY FAILURE IS DESIGN - MANUFACTURING RELATED AND SHOULD BE RECALLED; THE REPAIR COSTS SHOULD COVERED BY CHEVROLET. THERE IS HIGH POTENTIAL FOR INJURY/ACCIDENTS. I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY COST TO REPAIR THE CORROSION BRAKE LINE FAILURE. *TR

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ON 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE RECALL OF PE-05020 AND 05V379000. LOW SPEED ACTIVATION OF THE ANTI LOCK ABS. GENERAL MOTORS STATES"THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS NOT ON THE RECALL, IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN MEXICO". CORRECTION TO THE REPORTED RECALL ON 2000 TO 2002 MODELS IS FOR THE "DEALER" TO CLEAN APPLY ANTI RUST AND THEN GREASE TO THE HUB AND RELUCTOR. THE RECALL AND CORRECTION HOWEVER DOES NOT APPLY TO THE 1999 CHREVOLET SUBURBAN EVEN THOUGHT THE VEHICLE IS USED IN THE "SALT BELT". LOW SPEED ACTIVATION CAN AND MAY LEAD TO INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE AND A CRASH. THE DEALERS REFUSE TO CORRECT TEH PORBLEM DUE TO THE 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN IS NO ON RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS THE 200 TO 2002. *TR

MY 1999 CHEVY SUBURBAN K1500 EXHIBITS THE EXACT SAME CHARACTERISTICS AS NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 05V379000 . IT HAS 175K MILES, I LIVE IN MICHIGAN, AND THE ABS HAS BEEN KICKING IN AT LOW SPEEDS IN DRY CONDITIONS FOR ABOUT 15K MILES. WEBSITE HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/1999/GMC/SUBURBAN AND HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/1999/CHEVROLET/SUBURBAN+1500 ARE LOADED WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS - 1999 MODELS WITH ABS ENGAGING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH OR LESS, THE ABS PULSATES. THE CONTACT MUST PUMP THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE.
