Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Original owner of 1999 tahoe. since purchase, i have felt that the truck was not stopping well, even at low speeds. i returned to dealer and they continued to say nothing was wrong. since that time, i have had four different dealers in three states and two private mechanics look at it. all have said it "performs as intended". the brakes were worked on seven times that i have records for. at 17k miles, 32k miles, rear brakes were cleaned and adjusted. at 36k, front rotors were resurfaced, rear brakes cleaned/adjusted. at 47k, front rotors were replaced and rear drums were turned. replaced pads. rears adjusted at 59k. at 72k, replaced front brakes and machined rotors. cleaned/adjusted rears. this continues on every 20k miles or so and still the truck does not stop under normal conditions even at low speeds. the rear brake adjustments only last about two weeks, then back to the same thing. luckily, i have not had an accident yet but have had to pull to the side to avoid hitting car in front of me. *nm
