The anti-lock brakes on my 1995 Chevy Tahoe are activating spuriously at slow speeds when braking. This typically happens as I approach a traffic light or stop sign or when parking in a lot. This activation causes an increased stopping distance. It has not resulted in an accident at this time, but I could see how it could. From some online research it appears that it is a known problem with rusting of the speed sensors. It would seem to me that this is a manufacturer problem for which a recall should be initiated to fix.

When trying to come to stop the ABS system will intermittently kick in at low speeds, causing the vehicle to possibly collide with other vehicles.

I have previously corresponded with your Agency (ODI# 10098003) on 10/29/04. Although General Motors has recently issued an antilock braking system recall, it includes only certain models after 1999. Be advised earlier year models have experienced the same problem, and repair to those has not been addressed. I have incurred $200 in repairs caused by the problem with corrosion described in the recall. My mechanic has disabled the system by removal of the fuse to prevent the activation of the ABS system for no apparent reason. I therefore have a system designed for safety which is completely and totally useless. And in need of repair. Lets get GM to address this problem in total.

While trying to stop suddenly the antilock brakes activated on a clean surface extending the stopping distance and subsequently running into vehicle stopped. Speed 30 miles an hour activated ABS and impact at 15-25 mph.

I drive a 1995 Chevy Tahoe and almost every time I break the ABS engages at about 10 mph, extending my final stop. I have read that the nhts is investigating this "feature" on 1999-2002 Chevy trucks. From what I've heard from other people and experienced myself, I think this defect is very common in a much broader manufacturing time period.

On 3/13/2001 was involved in an mvc when another vehicle pulled out in front of the vehicle I struck off road. I was traveling aprox. 40-45 mph when I applied the brakes immediately and slid aprox. 75 feet on road and continued to slide off road for another 50 feet when I collided with the other vehicle. ABS system never kicked in, and the vehicle slid uncontrolled until collision with injuries to myself when the seat belt did not hold my body and allowed me to travel forward striking the steering wheel with the air bag not deploying with a frontal impact and sudden deceleration.

NHTSA campaign#95V124000 indicated a wiring defect on the high mounted stop light for 1995 checrolet Tahoe. Mine fails.I took the truck to jerry hamm chev. In jacksonville on 5/4/00 to have the anti-lock brakes fixed for the second time, and asked them to also repair the high-light. They refused, stated the recall was not in their database. I provided them with a printed copy of your campaign, and they still refused. They also made me pay for the ABS modulator repair on 02/22/99 even though it was common knowledge that Tahoe were having anti-lock brake failures. I don't think the ABS modulator (heart of the ABS) system should have failed at 47,000 miles. The only thing they did was split the cost of the part after I complained and indicated I was calling Chevrolet

Onseptember 25, 1998, I was driving my 1995 Chevy Tahoe, SUV and had a complete brake failure, which almost caused a terrible accident. This was amazing in that on August 7, of that same year only a little over a month after the brakes had been serviced they failed. It was concluded that the battery had failed and leaked acid onto the brake lines causing them to fail and leakout the vital fluid. On 1/23/00 S.D.union/tribune carried an national a..P article saying the the ntsa was investgating this very problem in Tahoe/Yukon & Suburban

When driving at any speed and applying the brakes they go straight to the floorboard, and the consumer has to pump the brake pedal hard for vehicle to slow down.

- Hillsdale, NJ, USA

ABS light kept coming on. Every time it rained & ABS brakes were applied, vehicle failed to stop, causing extended stopping distance. Had taken vehicle to dealer & mechanic changed ABS brake system. The problem still exists.

I hope this will be included in your recall of ABS Chevy autos

The description of the ABS brake failure in the Washington post article on July 22, 1999 is an exact description of the cause of an accident I had in February, 1999. I was traveling about 10 mph and applied the brakes. I was unable to stop because no matter how hard I pushed the pedal, the vehicle continued to roll and bumped into the truck in front of me, damaging my bumper. I had the dealer replace the bumper and check the brakes. They said they didn't find anything wrong with the ABS brake system.

While driving driver could step on brake pedal to stop vehicle, and what he feels is a bumping ride. Mechanic had told consumer there was excessive wear on right front wheel. After the right front wheel sensor was replaced, the problem was corrected.
