THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IS KICKING IN WHEN I TRY TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR JUST REGULAR BRAKING. I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CAR TO HAVE IT FIX AND THERE WAS. BUT MY VIN DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE MANUFACTURE RECALL LIST EVEN THOUGH I AM EXPERIENCING SYMPTOMS 100% EXACTLY AS WHAT IS DESCRIBE IN THE RECALL DESCRIPTION. *TR

THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CRACKED ON THE 1999 CHEVY 1500 (SUBURBAN) AND LET WATER GET INTO THE FIRING CHAMBER FROM THE COOLING SYSTEM. IT HAPPENED IN 2002 AT ABOUT 60,000 AND AGAIN AT 2008 AT ABOUT 110,000... I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT IT WAS A PLASTIC COMPONENT THAT WARBLES WHEN IT HEATS AND COOLS OVER TIME AND CRACKS. IT COST OVER $1000. TO REPLACE IT EACH TIME IT CRACKS. IS THERE A RECALL OR ANY WAY I CAN GET ANY MONEY FROM GM FOR THIS POORLY DESIGNED PART??? IS THERE A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THE PROBLEM????? *TR

THE ABS ON OUR 99 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN BEGAN KICKING IN EVERYTIME WE HIT THE BRAKES. WE TOOK IT IN THE BE DIAGNOSED AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL, CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V379000, ON THIS ISSUE THAT COVERED OVER A MILLION VEHICLES INCLUDING OTHER 99 CHEVROLET SUBURBANS BUT THAT OUR PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE SENSORS HAD RUSTED AND WERE NOT RECIEVEING THE AMPS THEY NEEDED TO WORK PROPERLY. THE REPAIRS WERE CLEANING THE MOUNTING SURFACE, GREASING, AND REPLACING THE SENSORS. THIS DIAGNOSIS AND THE REPAIRS NEEDED WERE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS ALL THE RECALLED VEHICLES. WE BELIEVE OUR VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. AT THIS POINT WE HAVE NOT YET HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

MODEL 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500LT BOUGHT NEW IN 2000. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE AT LOW SPEEDS (< 10 MPH) THE ABS SYSTEM KICKS IN, THE BRAKES PULSATE HEAVILY, BUT THE VEHICLE KEEPS ROLLING FOR A FEW FEET, DEPENDING ON THE MOVING SPEED AT THE TIME THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS HAS RECENTLY LED TO AN ACCIDENT WHEREBY THE VEHICLE SLID INTO MY GARAGE DOOR, LUCKILY CAUSING MINIMAL DAMAGE TO BOTH CAR AND GARAGE DOOR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS 39,900 MILES. I HAVE FOUND A RECALL, BUT THIS RECALL ONLY APPLIES TO THE 2000 MODEL YEAR SUBURBAN., WHEREAS THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME IN MY VEHICLE. *TR
