What owners say
"takata recall" about a month ago my truck (ABS) started active itself and when driving it will act as if it's about to stop on its own and jerked to the left. Then shortly after it start making a loud noise then the noise gotten louder where others can hear it not only me. I had one of the wheels hub replace and it stop for a day and continue and now it's to the point where it's beginning to shake while driving,and ride different. I have three kids who I have to worry about.
I have a 2005 chevy tahoe, which recently I have been having many problems,I was wondering if there any recall notices for this vehicle...service air bag light is on...ABS light is on...seat belts on middle section does not work correctly,it gets stuck many times...steering sometimes gets stiff.
Abs and tc light came on. Checked at shop and was told the speed sensor was bad, brakes were fine, but no ABS. Traveling down highway, and vehicle started making a lot of noise (metal on metal, etc). Had car towed, and the hub was bad. Was told we were lucky the wheel did not come off. Had to replace hub assembly and brake pads.
The "service stability" warning message displayed, ABS warning light, tc tire deflation, and brake failure light. The first failure occurred on or about february 13, 2012. I took the vehicle to the chevrolet dealership immediately and the repair was completed by march 27, 2012 after 3 attempts. The computer tester was alleged to show that the ebcm had failed and was replaced. This did not clear the defect and the same warnings continued when ever the car was washed or became wet from rain. The defect was said to be in the wire that powered the ebcm in the proximity of the firewall. The wire was stated to be frayed. When the wire was replaced the problem was corrected. I am concerned that the wire may have been damaged from abrasion near the firewall combined with corrosion from road salt. This could have lead to failure of the ABS, airbags, and stability control at a time when it is most needed.
