In owners' own words
Upon stopping on slick roads, the antilock system activated and the motor continues to run all day, even after shutting engine off. Had to remove the maxi fuse to shut it off. I know of two other gm trucks of the same model and year with the same exact problem. This is not a coincidence. This is a small town and 3 vehicles with the same safety problems in the braking system should be addressed by a recall. Service brakes, hydraulic · reported at 75,000 miles
Minnesota is a "salt" state. The bearing/abs sensor assembly has become "bad" on my 2000 Tahoe causing unwanted and unsafe abs activation at slow speeds parking or just before coming to a full stop. The recall should cover minnesota as a state with corrosion impacts. A $35,000 vehicle 5 years old, truck class should not require consumers to pay $578 per wheel to correct an obvious and unsafe design flaw. Service brakes, hydraulic · reported at 69,250 miles
