| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Gm issued a recall #05068 on over 800,000 trucks & suvs involving improper abs activation at low/slow speeds. (nhtsa campaign id #05v379000). i took my 1999 chev tahoe to the dealer today for the repair, and was told this recall did not effect my vehicle, that it did not include my vin #. the service person said he did observe the fact that my vehicle indeed has the problem, but they cannot fix it per gm's guidelines. i do not understand how - if it is evident the vehicle has the unsafe equipment/actions that warrant the recall, how can it be excluded from the recall? as of this date, i do not have an auto accident and/or personal injury on record due to the fact that i have learned to adjust my driving to avoid the obvious fact that, yes, i would have one or two rear-end accidents a week if i did not. this vehicle was purchased by me dec 2004 and was a problem from the beginning. we did not immediately have the money to pay to have it fixed. my husband was checking to see if the wiper system had been recalled for some reason as they rarely work, when he discovered the brake problem was being investigated. so we have waited this process out, only to discover it does not include our tahoe. as a matter of fact, when he printed the recall information out on 9/29/05, it listed the 1999 tahoes, but now as of today, it has been changed to 2000 and newer. how can that be when my vehicle has the problem? *jb |
