I was in an accident today. The reason for the accident is that my anti-lock brakes engaged at less than 15 mph therefore not allowing me to stop in time. The brake actually felt as if they were not working at all. I was informed that newer models were included in a recall in the salt belt, but not in mn. What can we do to fix the problem? It happened in mn and in a 1999 tahoe. Thanks, joan godfrey. *nm
