Driving home from church 20 mile trip, about midway pressed on brakes and pedal went all the way to the floor with total loss of braking. Managed to make it through two red lights with horn and hazard lights before coming to a stop with use of parking brake. Immediately I popped the hood to check for brake fluid and reservoir was still half full. Had the wife cycle the brakes so see if there were any problems with the master cylinder or booster. All looked good, walking around the car I found a large puddle of brake fluid inside drivers side rear wheel. Limped car home, and noticed the rear brake line which sits above the frame rail was completely rusted through. I can not replace this line myself so I will be returning vehicle for service to chevrolet dealer.

I own a 2000 chevrolet tahoe. I began having trouble stopping at low speeds, the ABS system is engaging when I drop below approximately 10 MPH, making it very difficult to stop at low speeds. The first time it happened, I almost drove off a cliff on a mountain road because I couldn't stop the truck. The cliff is approximately 1,500 feet down - we are very lucky we aren't dead because we only stopped a few feet from the edge. Through online research, I found a the federal safety agency recall (campaign id number 05v379000), which stated that certain pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles may experience unwanted antilock brake system activation. The condition was more likely to occur in environmentally corrosive areas. The recall was launched only in the "salt belt" states. The chevy tahoe I own was originally purchased in wisconsin and driven there for 5 years before I purchased it and moved to colorado. I called the manufacturer (gm/chevy) to inform them of the ABS issue, and they stated that the VIN was not included in the recall even though the failures were identical. The mileage is 222,400.

When the contact attempted to engage the brake pedal at low speeds when it rains, she noticed that the ABS brake control activated and disabled the brakes which caused the vehicle to continually move forward. The failure has not been diagnosed by a dealer. The contact also stated that when the vehicle was driven during very cold temperatures that the braking distance would increase greatly. The current mileage was 84,588 and the failure mileage was at 70,000.
Abs intermittently came on when I apply the brakes. After several weeks of this happening the brakes became very mushy. Changed both front wheel sensors but didn't fix the problem. Took to repair shop and they said the brake modulator was bad - $1200 to repair. We disconnected the anti-lock brake system at this point. Brakes work fine without it.

Abs activates at speeds below 7mph while braking. Have almost run into a vehicle and person due to this failure. The tahoe was originally purchased in texas but has been in pa. For 3+ years. My vehicle should have been included in the recall but I was told it was not, doesn't make sense.

Abs and brake warning light comes on randomly.
I have a 2000 tahoe and am having a problem with the ABS as described in the recall. Gm is telling me it was not included in the recall because of the manufacturing location of my vehicle. This is absurd. I live in an area where road salt is used and winter corrosion is possible. This is a dangerous issue and should include all vehicles regardless of where they were manufactured. How does gm know where the vehicle went after it was purchased, they don't. I almost hit a pedestrian in the crosswalk a few days because the ABS came on while I was going very slow.
Vehicle did not stop at intersection when brakes were applied. The ABS sounded as if it had engaged but my wheels did not stop. I had my 2 children in the vehicle and fortunately nothing was coming and therefore no one was hurt or killed. I reviewed the federal safety agency website to investigate and found that campaign number 05v379000 covers this problem and that a recall had been issued to remove corrosion from the speed sensors and apply rust inhibitor. I contacted apple chevrolet in york, pa and on 2/28/07, they found the that my wheel speed sensors had excessive rust build up. I was also informed that my vehicle was not included in this recall. I was charged $241.65 for these repairs and I feel that I should not be responsible for this. How can oer 1.3 million vehicles made between 1999 and 2002 be recalled for this same problem and my vehicle is not included?
There is the federal safety agency recall campaign 05v379000 concerning the anti lock brakes.

I own a 2000 chevy tahoe. For the past 2 years, I experienced occasional problems stopping under 10 MPH due to the faulty activation of the ABS. On several occasions I barely avoided a dangerous crash. I called art moehn chevrolet in jackson, michigan about the problem and was told I could make an appointment to have the problem repaired. No mention was made of the possible recall. I took the vehicle to art moehn chevrolet in jackson, michigan on april 7, 2006. The problem was repaired at a cost to me of $241.60. I did research on the internet about the ABS problem and located a recall for 1999-2002 gm trucks (see nhsta recall campaign number 05v37900). I contacted the dealer and was told that my VIN # was not part of the recall. The brake work done on my 2000 tahoe is the exact repair sent to chevy dealers by gm for the recalled vehicles (see gm bulletin # 05068b). I am seeking full reimbursement of my costs for repair under the recall notice. Thank you.
