RE: 2000 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN - ANTILOCK BRAKE PUMP MOTOR/ASSEMBLY, WHICH WHEN NOT WORKING MAKES THE ANTILOCK BRAKE FUNCTION INOPERABLE, FAILED AND WAS REPLACED BY DEALER AT APPROXIMATELY 41000 MILES. VEHICLE NOW HAS 102,000 MILES AND ANTILOCK BRAKE PUMP MOTOR/ASSEMBLY HAS FAILED AGAIN. DEALER AND CHEVROLET BOTH SAY THAT, DUE TO THE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE, THEY CANNOT FINANCIALLY ASSIST IN THE REPAIR OF THIS VEHICLE AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. THREE (3) INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THIS MALFUNCTION IS SO COMMON OF A PROBLEM THAT IT IS ALMOST INEVITABLE THAT A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED ONCE THE NHTSA BECOMES AWARE OF THE MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM. PARTS ALONE CAN COST OVER $1500 FOR THIS REPAIR. *NM
