Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1999 chevrolet tahoe [xxx] has been experiencing increasingly severe brake shudder and activation of abs system at low speeds for the past 6 weeks. happens nearly every time i come to a slow stop and has caused dozens of near miss crashes in city traffic. brought vehicle into dealership on october 14, 2005 and was informed that item was a corrosion problem and part of a recall. gmc was contacted directly and informed me (and the dealership) that my vehicle vin was not part of the august 2005 recall notice and that problem was my own problem. inspection of brakes by local dealership confirmed that defect was consistent with other recall items and involved a component that was actually operating defectively (as opposed to preventative replacement of the part). recall should be re-examined and expanded. *nm updated 07/18/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
