Chevrolet has recalled 1999 tahoes for ABS sensor failure due to corrosion. I didn't receive a recall notice, so I called chev. At 1‑800‑630‑2438.

The rep. Couldn't explain why my vehicle didn't fall within the so-called "breakpoint". My vehicle's ident. # is [xxx].

The recall that chevy has for the antilock brakes only goes back to 2000. Mine had the same issue and I had to replace the entire hub assembly on each side because it got so bad that they were activating all the time. I do not have the parts, but I got it repaired at a service garage and have the receipt.
I was in an accident today. The reason for the accident is that my anti-lock brakes engaged at less than 15 MPH therefore not allowing me to stop in time. The brake actually felt as if they were not working at all. I was informed that newer models were included in a recall in the salt belt, but not in mn. What can we do to fix the problem? It happened in mn and in a 1999 tahoe. Thanks, joan godfrey.

In reference to the current investigation of gm trucks and suvs for brake problems at low speed. As I slow down or have to stop on clear/dry roadways, I have been fortunate not to smash into the vehicle in front of me or to cause an accident by going past the stop sign. I have had this problem with my 1999 chevy tahoe since december, 2004 and it's getting worse. It used to happen just once in awhile, now it happens 99% of the time when I slow down or need to stop(at a speed of under 10). I'm having to double pump the brakes and still pray it will stop in time. Most repair places want to replace the hubs for a very high price of $500 per wheel or more. I am a michigan resident living in a "salt belt" state and I'm not understanding why the 1999 year chevy tahoe isn't covered under the recall for repairing the anti-lock brakes. I would like to challenge the national highway traffic safety department to drive my vehicle and then determine if it shouldn't be covered.
