2002 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, I HAD A LOW-SPEED COLLISION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AT ABOUT 15-20 MPH I BRAKED HARD, AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES KICKED IN, BUT DID NOT STOP IN THE USUAL DISTANCE. I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES, BUT VERY DISCONCERTING. I READ ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE ABS SYSTEMS OF THESE VEHICLES, AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TOADY TO HAVE IT PERFORMED. I WAS TOLD MY VIN WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, AND DID NOT QUALIFY. I'M HAVING THE WORK DONE ANYWAY, AT MY EXPENSE. I ALSO JUST FAILED MY FIRST NJ STATE INSPECTION DUE TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE NOT HOLDING. THE BRAKE HAS NEVER BEEN USED. I ALSO SEE A RECALL ON THIS CLASS OF VEHICLE (K2500)FOR THIS ITEM, AND ASKED THE DEALER TO PERFORM THIS RECALL. I WAS TOLD AGAIN THIS VIN WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. AGAIN, I AM HAVING THIS WORK DONE AT MY EXPENSE. THANK YOU. *JB
