1997 CHEVY SILVERADO BRAKE PROBLEM. AT SLOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS TO THE FLOOR DURING A SUDDEN STOP WITH GREATLY INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE REQUIRED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND IS APPARENTLY VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. THE FOLLOWING IS COPIED FROM A POST TO THIS SITE WHICH DESCRIBES EXACTLY THE PROBLEM: "I HAVE A 1997 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TRUCK. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING RANDOM FAILURE IN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, THEY ENGAGE IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE IS NO REASON TO. RECENTLY I VIEWED A REPORT THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION IS INVESTIGATING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 1999 - 2002 MODELS, BUT THE PROBLEM IN THAT INVESTIGATION EXACTLY DESCRIBES MY PROBLEM. SINCE THE PROBLEM IS RANDOM, YOU CANNOT BE PREPARED WHEN YOU DON'T QUITE STOP AS FAST AS EXPECTED. MY TRUCK IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND I CANNOT EXPECT MY SON TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THIS SITUATION AS HE IS AN IN-EXPERIENCED DRIVER. I WAS GOING TO SCHEDULE SOON TO HAVE IT FIXED WHEN I VIEWED THE ARTICLE ABOUT A POTENTIAL RECALL. I AM AWAITING TO HEAR YOUR DECISION AND HOPING YOU INCLUDE EARLIER MODELS (1997) SUCH AS MINE IF THERE IS A RECALL." I CONCUR WITH THE ABOVE STATEMENT ENTIRELY. IF YOU SEARCH THE INTERNET FOR THIS SAME COMPLAINT, YOU WILL FIND A DISTURBING NUMBER OF CONSUMERS WHO ARE FACING THIS DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY FLAW. THE PROBLEM IS FAR TO COMMON TO BE DISMISSED AS ANYTHING OTHER THAN A DESIGN FLAW IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM OF FAULTY COMPONENTS. THE NEXT PERSON INJURED OR KILLED BY THIS VEHICLE MAY BE SOMEONE YOU KNOW AND LOVE. *TR

Mileage: 86,423

AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 5 MPH, EACH TIME I APPLY THE BRAKES TO STOP, THE ABS SYSTEMS ENGAGES AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT BRAKE TO AN IMMEDIATE HALT. NUMEROUS TIMES I BARELY AVOIDED COLLISIONS WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND BUILDINGS. I UNDERSTAND THAT GM IS AWARE OF THIS OR A SIMILAR PROBLEM ON 1999 AND LATER TRUCKS AND HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR A REPAIR ON SOME OF THESE VEHICLES, BUT NOT ALL. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I DISCOVERED THAT BY REMOVING THE ABS SYSTEM FUSE THE ABS DOES NOT ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE WILL COME TO A STOP UPON APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES. I HAVE NOW REMOVED THE ABS SYSTEM FUSE TO DISABLE THE SYSTEM. I NOW KNOW THAT THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT GM SHOULD STAND BEHIND OR AT LEAST OFFER TO DISABLE THE ABS SYSTEM (AND THE ABS LIGHT) SO THE CONVENTIONAL BRAKES WILL FUNCTION. *TR

Mileage: 46,000

I HAVE A 1997 CHEVY TRUCK THAT CONTINUES TO HAVE BRAKE FAILURE. I SEE THE RECALL IS FROM 1999-2003 BUT AM HORRIFIED THAT THE PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL. I HAVE REPLACED EVERY PART OF MY BRAKING SYSTEM AND IT STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAN'T STOP!! MY BRAKES ARE GOING TO FAIL AND I HOPE NO ONE GETS KILLED IN THE PROCESS. GM NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ARE ON THE WEB FROM THE 1997 YEAR TRUCK! *TR

AN UNNECESSARY ACTIVATION OF THE ABS, THE SAME AS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA RECALL #05V379000, HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH MY 1997 CHEVROLET K1500. I WAS UNAWARE THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, UNTIL RECENTLY. ACCORDING TO THE MAJORITY OF ON-LINE, CHEVY OWNER FORUMS I'VE READ, THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL IN PRE-1999 CHEVY TRUCKS, YET RECALL #05V379000 DOESN'T COVER THEM. IN ORDER TO AVOID A CRASH, I'VE DISCONNECTED THE ABS ON MY TRUCK. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

97 CHEVY K1500 ABS FALSE ACTIVATION. DEALERS RESPONSE WAS THERE IS NO KNOWN PROBLEM AND IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE WITHOUT PAYMENT. ABS ACTIVATES AT SLOW SPEED AND WHEN BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED AT ALL. CAUSED MINOR COLLISION WHICH WAS NOT REPORTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 10MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE ABS ACTIVATED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP FOR ABOUT 10 FEET. THE WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FRONT ABS RUSTED WHICH CAUSED AN IMPROPER SIGNAL TO THE ABS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 87000.

Mileage: 87,000

1997 K1500 CHEVROLET SILVERADO KELSEY HAYES ABS ACTIVATES ON DRY PAVEMENT (NO WHEEL SLIP) BETWEEN 5-10 MPH WHEN BRAKES APPLIED HARD OR SOFTLY. THIS LEADS TO INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE UNLESS BRAKES RELEASED AND REAPPLIED QUICKLY. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISS COLLISIONS WITH PARKED VEHICLES (NO COLLISION HAS YET OCCURRED.) ONE FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REPLACED BY DEALER ON 9/2005 (PART NOT AVAILABLE) THIS TEMPORARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT ~4 MONTHS LATER THE PROBLEM BEGAN RECURRING. A SECOND DEALER STATED THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #05V379000) DUE TO RUST ACCUMULATING AROUND FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSORS BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR 1997 MODEL YEAR. VEHICLE HAS BEEN OWNED AND OPERATED PRIMARILY IN MN, SD, AND NY. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW SPEEDS, THE ABS ENGAGED RESULTING IN EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED.

Mileage: 179,000

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE HAS BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE ABS MOTOR BEGINS SPINNING WHEN THE VEHICLE TRAVELS UNDER 10 MPH. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED THAT THERE MUST BE SOMETHING DEFECTIVE WITH THE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TO A DEALER AND HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

NO CRASH OR DAMAGE OR INJURY. JUST ABS ON A 1997 TAHOE THAT HAVE NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. THEY ENGAGE AT LOW SPEED BRAKING, THE VEHICLE SLIDES AND WHEN THEY ENGAGE YOU CAN HEAR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A BIG SPRING ENGAGING, WEIRD SOUND. WE HAD NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE WITH ABS SO DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS ABNORMAL SOUNDING AND FEELING BUT DIDN'T LIKE IT AND FELT UNCOMFORTABLE. I KEPT TALKING TO PEOPLE AND THEY SUGGESTED I CHECK OUT SERVICE NOTICES/RECALLS. WAS GLAD TO SEE A SIMILAR SITUATION WITH THE 1999 TO 2002 BUT OF COURSE THAT DOESN'T COVER MY 1997. *NM

Mileage: 25,000

1997 CHEVY SILVERADO K1500 Z71. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE WAS PREVENTING ME FROM STOPPING AT LOW SPEEDS. THEY HAVE RECALLED ALL THE NEWER MODELS TO FIX THE DEFECT, BUT NOT THE OLDER MODELS. THE ONLY WAY TO DISABLE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE IS TO CUT THE ANTI-LOCK SPEED SENSOR FOR IT. ANTI-BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AFTER. AT LEAST, I HAVE BRAKES. I WAS INVOLVED IN MANY ACCIDENTS, FORTUNATELY, WITH NO MAJOR INJURIES OTHER THAN MANY BUMPER SCRATCHES AND DENTS. TO AVOID HITTING A CAR AT STOP, I HAD TO RUN OFF THE ROAD INTENTIONALLY MANY TIMES. THIS TRUCK COULD GET PEOPLE KILLED IF THEY ARE NOT RECALLED. *JB

WHILE EXITING A RAMP IN LEXINGTON, KY, THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ON MY PICK-UP FAILED, RESULTING IN MY TRUCK NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP. THIS RESULTED IN MY TRUCK ENTERING ON-COMING TRAFFIC AND CAUSED AN NON-INJURY ACCIDENT. MY FAMILY WAS PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING MY 3 YEAR OLD SON. THE TRUCK WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME, AND IS PREPARING TO BE REPAIRED. THE BRAKING SYSTEM CONTINUES TO MAL-FUNCTION WITHOUT WARNING, REDUCING OR ELIMINATING THE ABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM KICKS IN CONSTANTLY, AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE TRUCK WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP. *NM

Mileage: 102,900

FROM EVERYTHING I'VE READ AND RESEARCHED, MY 1997 CHEVROLET K1500 FROM MINNESOTA HAS THE CORRODED ABS SPEED SENSORS. AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN STOPPING THE ABS COMES ON EVEN ON DRY PAVEMENT. THIS HAS CAUSE ME ROLL OUT INTO INTERSECTIONS UNABLE TO STOP. THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS DEFECT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL, BUT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE 1997 OR MINNESOTA WHICH MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE CONSIDERING THE PROBLEM AND ITS POTENTIAL RISKS. *NM

ABS BRAKES SYSTEM ENGAGES AT LOW SPEEDS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT STARTED IN 2001 WHEN I LIVED ON EAST COAST. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED BUT AT MY EXPENSE.

Mileage: 97,000

ANTILOCK BRAKES ENGAGE AT SLOW SPEEDS NEEDING FURTHER STOPPING DISTANCES. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THIS DEFECT. WHEN I DID FIND OUT THEY WERE RECALLING IN OTHER STATES I AGAIN CALLED THE DEALER TO COMPLAIN. NOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL I FIND THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED. *NM

Mileage: 75,000

IN THE PAST YEAR I HAVE NOTICED A HARD BRAKING SITUATION AT LOW SPEEDS IN WHICH IT FELT LIKE THE ANTI- LOCK WAS KICKING IN EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD BE UNCALLED FOR. TODAY, I PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN AND I PUSHED ON THE PEDAL WITH ALL MY MIGHT AND STILL DRIFTED INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC WHO LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER AROUND ME SINCE I ENDED UP IN THEIR LANE. MY PADS, FLUID AND ROTORS ARE ALL GOOD. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO A GM DEALER TOMORROW FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING REGULARLY AND NOW NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.*JB

Mileage: 78,350

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE. HAS BEEN OCCURRING CONTINUOUSLY FOR OVER THREE YEARS AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. ABS ACTIVATES UN-WANTED AND CAN CAUSE LOSS OF BRAKING CONTROL/DISTANCE. 2000 MODELS AND NEWER ALREADY HAVE RECALL ON SAME ISSUE. *JB

Mileage: 95,000

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEED MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STOP AS ANTICIPATED AT SIGNS, ETC. ONE IS FORCED TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD TO OVERRIDE THE ABS. EVEN WHEN YOU DO OVERRIDE THE ABS, THE DELAY IN STOPPING PUTS YOU PAST THE CROSSWALK OR PARKING SPACE!. *JB

ABS BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATES UNDER 10 MILES AN HOUR. GM HAS A RECALL FOR THIS ABS PROBLEM, HOWEVER THEY ONLY GO BACK AS FAR AS 1999. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SINCE I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, I SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE COMPLAINT IS NOT AGAINST THE DEALER. *JB

ABS BRAKING SYSTEM COMES ON AT ALL STOPS. THIS CAUSES STOPS TO BE EXTREMELY LONG, AND ALMOST RUNNING INTO THINGS. INCIDENT DATE IS APPROXIMATE, SINCE ISSUE BEGAN SLOW (~1 IN 20 STOPS). NUMBER OF FAILURES IS CURRENTLY EVERY STOP. CURRENTLY I HAVE UNPLUGGED THE ABS DRIVE MOTOR TO MAKE IT STOP. MECHANIC SAYS THAT THIS IS COMMON FOR MY TRUCK, AND MUST REMOVE THE ABS SENSORS AND WIPE THE FACE CLEAN OF DEBRIS. *NM

BRAKE AND WHAT LITTLE BRAKE THAT WAS LEFT I WAS ABLE TO GET STOPPED SAFELY. I WOULD LEARN THE WELDING ON THE UPPER SHOCK BRACKET HAD FAILED ALLOWING MOVEMENT WHICH ALLOWED METAL TO RUB AGAINST THE BRAKE LINE WHICH RUNS PAST THAT AREA. THE LINE FAILED WITH THE LOSE OF FLUID AND THE BRAKES. REPAIRS INCLUDED REPLACING OF THE UPPER FRT.SUSP CONTROL ARM ASSY MISC BRACKETS AND SHELDS AND REWELDING UPPER SHOCK BRACKET. IT ALSO INCLUDED REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE LINE.*AK

I HAVE A 1997 4WD CHEVY PICKUP WITH 4 WHEEL ABS. WHEN COMING TO A STOP, JUST BEFORE THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE ABS ACTIVATES, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, AND THE TRUCK SURGES FORWARD ANOTHER FEW FEET. THIS HAPPENS ON DRY PAVEMENT! THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE ABS TO ACTIVATE AND THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THE UNPREDICTABLE SURGE FORWARD OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND TONS OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. YAHOO SEARCH: "ABS ACTIVATES ON DRY PAVEMENT" REVEALED THOUSANDS OF HITS OF CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. BECAUSE IT IS RELATED TO BRAKES, I BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK TO CONSUMERS AND GM SHOULD RECALL THE DEFECT. THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY AND IS VERY NOTICEABLE. I LEAVE EXTRA SPACE WHILE BRAKING UNTIL I AM ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED. *LA

1997 CHEVROLET SILVERADO K1500. REAR BRAKE LINE NEAR WHEEL WELL RUPTURED CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. CAUSE OF LINE RUPTURE WAS DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST/CORROSION OF THE LINE ITSELF. I HAVE DIGITAL PICTURES OF THE THE DEFECTIVE LINE. CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO SEND. (SOMEONE AT GM REALLY SHOULD REVIEW THESE!) THE ENTIRE LINE FROM FRONT TO REAR EXHIBITS SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE/PREMATURE CORROSION. THE TRUCK ITSELF SHOWS NO OTHER SIGNS OF RUST DAMAGE. THE DEALER REPAIRED ONLY THE PORTION OF THE LINE THAT FAILED. WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT THE REMAINING CORROSION, THE SERVICE MANAGER SHRUGGED IT OFF AND ACVISED ME IT WASN'T A PROBLEM. TOTAL COST OF REPAIR INCLUDING TOW IN WAS $349.93. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAIT WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE...SO FAR I HAVE GOTTEN NO WHERE. I FEEL THIS IS A VALID SAFETY CONCERN AND OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL TRUCK SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM.
