The contact's wife owns a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving at a low rate of speed, an abnormal, grinding noise began to emit from the brake pedal upon depression without warning. The contact had to pump the brake pedal as the pedal depressed to the floorboard before coming to a complete stop. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed him that the failure was a known issue with this model vehicle. The mechanic informed him that the vehicle might be under recall. The contact then called a local dealer where he was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 275,000.

I am unable to get the recall taken care of by a dealership due to the age of the vehicle

I AM A DISABLED VETERAN ON A LIMITED INCOME AND NO AM FACING POSSIBLY HUGE EXPENSES FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS THAT I NOW HAVE READ HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS ON MY CAR FOR YEARS! I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW GM/CHEVROLET DOESN'T SEE TRANSMISSION ISSUES AS A SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS TRANSMISSION HAS HAD WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS.

ALOS WHEN CALLING A LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY SHOULD BE BETTER INFORMED ABOUT ANY TSB'S AS TO INFORM CONSUMERS. I JUST THANK GOD MY FAMILY IS SAFE, HOWEVER AM NOW OUT OF A CAR.
