Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: No accident yet. my 1997 tahoe is exhibiting the same symptoms as described in the media for 1999 and newer gm trucks regarding the wheel speed sensor for the antilock brakes. stopping from speeds under 5 mph, the brake pedal chatters, the antilock brake unit moans, and the truck is slow to completely stop. this started sporadically last winter and has gotten worse, now about 30% of the time. i called chevrolet's customer service today (10/13/2005) at 11:10, spoke to bagaya bonner who told me the recall affected 2000-2002 tahoes. mine would not be included, and if i had the problem fixed, it would be at my expense (gm would not reimburse since there was no recall on my vehicle). i am using today's date as the incident date, but the problem began late fall 2004 and is ongoing. *nm
