Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Abs brake system on the front driver's side wheel began having failures at very low speeds(under 10 mph) when the vehicle(1998 chevrolet tahoe) was coming to a full stop at the end of the drive or when pulling to a stop. this was occurring over & over more more than a month. i contacted white-allen chevolet in dayton ohio and the service manager contacted the gm zone manager and gm would not warranty this repair saying that my vehicle did not fall under the recall years for this problem even though the problem was exactly the same as the recall issued for the same vehicle 1999-2002 ( mine is 1998). i finally had to have it done strictly because of my children's safety the day i made the appointment my daughter and i almost glided into traffic coming to a stop while taking her to school. the zone manager response to our claim was that my vehicle was not part of the recall and they will not have the repairs done as part of the recall even though the failure is the same defect according to the service manager. service was supplied on 9/26/2005 at white-allen service order reads "checked abs system right front sensor failure due to low voltage output action taken : replaced left front hub and bearing parts: owner has the old replaced parts. *jb
