1999 Chevrolet Suburban SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO MAIN BRAKE LINE FROM FRONT TO REAR WAS RUSTED THROUGH. THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF BRAKE LINE WAS RUSTED. *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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS WOULD ENGAGE AT ANY SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON DRY PAVEMENT. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE BRAKES AND SENSORS. THE CONTACT FOUND A RECALL ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THE ABS, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. SHE FEELS THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT IS USED TO TRANSPORT HER CHILD. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 96,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I BELIEVE THE 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 05V379000 AND THE GM RECALL # 05068 EVEN THOUGH GENERAL MOTORS TELLS ME THAT MY VIN# IS NOT PART OF THERE RECALL. MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCES THE EXACT SYMPTOMS AS THOSE DESCRIBED IN THE ABOVE CAMPAIGN AND RECALL NUMBERS ( ANTILOCK BRAKES UNEXPECTEDLY ACTIVATING AT LOW SPEEDS OF ABOUT 3-10 MPH ). THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE WOULD OCCASIONALLY ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT FIRST I DID NOT THINK IT WAS MUCH OF A PROBLEM. NOW EVERY TIME I BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS TO A SPEED OF ABOUT 6 MPH, THE ANTILOCK BRAKES START TO ACTIVATE. I NOW KNOW THIS IS A SAFTY ISSUE BECAUSE ONCE THE ANTILOCK BRAKES START TO ACTIVATE, THE VEHICLE TAKES LONGER TO STOP NO MATER HOW HARD I PRESS ON THE BRAKES. I WILL PROBABLY TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND HOPE G.M. WILL REIMBURSE ME IF AND WHEN THEY REALIZE THIS YEAR SUBURBAN SHOULD BE PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 94,000.

I'M HAVING AN ONGOING ABS SYSTEM PROBLEM THAT IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT RECALL 05068 HAD. AS I SLOW TO A STOP MY ABS SYSTEM KICKS ON BELOW 10 MPH BUT ABOVE 3 MPH. WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM KICKS ON IT IS A LOAD GRINDING NOISE FOLLOWED BY A DECREASE IN CONTROLLABILITY AND A PULLING TO THE RIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. THE RECALL 05068 ONLY COVERED 2000-2002 SUBURBAN YEARS, MINE IS A 1999 K2500. *TR
