Abs engages on my chevrolet tahoe as I come to a stop, preventing me to stop in a reasonably expected distance. I have a 1999 tahoe that seems to have the exact same problem addressed by the federal safety agency recall campaign number 05v37900, gm recall number 05068. The problem occurs every time I come to a complete stop. As the vehicle slows to 1 or 2 MPH the ABS engages and increases the stopping distance. The vehicle was purchased and registered and used in new york from new till present. New york is one of the salt belt states that is covered in the recall listed above. I have contacted gm and they told me the recall did not apply to my particular tahoe. I bought the vehicle brand new in 1998 . The rep at gm could not explain why my particular vehicle was not covered by the recall..the vehicle was looked at by a gm mechanic. He said the sensors would have to be removed, cleaned, anti-rust material applied, and replaced. The work has not been done yet.

Brake line to rear axle corroded and ruptured on 1999 chevy tahoe. Rupture occurred where the brake line passes below the fuel tank support strap attachment point. My son was able to control the vehicle and get home safely with no rear brakes, but was scared as a result. I have just finished replacing the brake line from the ABS module all the way to the rear axle as a result of wide spread corrosion and structural weakness in the line. I also had to replace two fuel lines that pass through the same area as the brake line for excessive corrosion as well. I have the old parts.
