“2002 chevy avalanche - problems with ABS brakes, truck won't stop as described in NHTSA action # pe05020, called the local dealer where I purchased new in 2002. I was told the recall is VIN # specific, however the NHTSA action describes the recall as state specific( I reside in aurora, ohio-southeastern snow belt of lake erie). The vehicle had brake work done 2 yrs after purchase and the service and repair form stated rear brakes corroded causing premature failure . My complaint is why won't chevy or the dealer honor this recall when it states state specific in the recall. …”
