| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Unwanted anti-lock brake system activation on a 2001 chevrolet tahoe. in reviewing the details on an existing recall (gm recall no. 05068) my tahoe is exhibiting the characteristics described, where upon deceleration at low speed brake applications intermittently activates the anti-lock brake system. unfortunately, i have been advised by a local dealer as well as chevrolet via their recall hotline that the recall is not applicable in my state. i believe this omission of de from the recall when several adjacent states are included is arbitrary and does not adequately resolve this potential safety issue for all of those impacted, including myself. according to the existing recall, the condition is more likely to occur in environmentally corrosive areas and has resulted in the recall being launched in the "salt belt" states which for some reason does not include de. i can say with the utmost certainty that de does receive snow, and that the dept of transportation uses salt during snow fighting operations every winter, potentially contributing to the problem experienced with my tahoe. furthermore, the previous owner of the vehicle resided in pa, which is included in the list of recall states. to date, no repairs have been made as i don't feel the repairs should be made out-of-pocket.*jb |
