| Tl- the contact owns a 2000 chevrolet suburban 1500. the contact stated there is a vibration that comes from the brake pedal when trying to stop the vehicle. the contact stated when this occurs the stopping distance of the vehicle increases. the contact found nhtsa recall campaign id number: 05v379000 (service brakes: anti-lock), but the manufacturer stated the recall was for the suburban and not the 1500 series. the contact feels this is a safety issue, because the suburban 1500 is the same as the base suburban. the failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 110,000.rl | |||
