1998 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY FAILED. THE HUBS, CALIPERS, ROTORS, AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WERE REPAIRED THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. WHENEVER THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED, THEY WOULD VIBRATE VIOLENTLY AND SEIZE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT MECHANIC SHOPS FOR THE REPAIRS, BUT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR WARRANTIES AVAILABLE. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

Mileage: 100,000

ANTILOCK BRAKE SENSOR ACTIVATED THE BRAKES AT LESS THAN 5MPH JUST AS LISTED IN THE RECALL WHICH INCLUDES 1999 AND BEYOND. IT WAS A SERIOUS ISSUE SO I HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THEY FINALLY FOUND THE ISSUE WAS THE CORROSION ON THE AB SENSOR AND CLEANED THEM. THIS RESOLVED THE ISSUE. IT HAS NOW STARTED AGAIN AS OF DECEMBER 2011 WITH 84,000 MILES. IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE AS BEFORE AND AS LISTED IN THE RECALL FOR 1999 AND NEWER VERSIONS.

Mileage: 65,000

WHILE DRIVING, APPLIED BRAKES. PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO FLOOR AND REQUIRED A SIGNIFICANT DISTANCE TO STOP. NOTICED FLUID LEAKING THROUGH THE FRAME ON DRIVERS SIDE OF THE TRUCK. FOUND A PIN HOLE LEAK IN THE STEEL BRAKE LINE AT THE 45 DEGREE BEND AT REAR OF TRUCK WHERE IT OFFSETS UP TO CLEAR THE FRAME AND THEN BACK DOWN TO ITS CONNECTION BY DRIVERS REAR SHOCK. THE LEAK WAS HIDDEN BEHIND THE PLASTIC BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE STEEL LINE TO THE FRAME. THE ENTIRE BRAKE LINE RUNNING ALONG THE INSIDE OF THE FRAME HAS EXCESSIVE CORROSION. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. FORTUNATELY THIS DIDN'T OCCUR IN A PANIC STOP. *TR

MY 1998 CHEVROLET SILVERADO K1500 HAD A TOTAL FRONT BRAKE ROTOR FAILURE IN WHICH THE HUB OF THE ROTOR DETACHED FROM THE ROTOR ITSELF, RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING ON THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE. THIS WAS THE FACTORY ROTOR. ANY STOPS RESULTED IN PULLING TO THE LEFT, HEAVY BRAKING CAUSED EXTREME MOVING OF THE VEHICLE TO THE LEFT. I REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS ON THE FRONT. *TR

BRAKES ON MY 1998 K1500 PULSATE AND THEN GO TO THE FLOOR WHEN COMING TO A STOP. DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED ABS MODULE ONCE FOR FREE THEN CHARGED ME TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. REPLACED PADS, SHOES, CALIPERS ETC. BRAKES STILL DO THIS, HAVE CAME CLOSE TO HITTING THINGS IN FRONT OF ME DUE TO THIS. FROM READING OTHER ARTICLES ON THE NET I AM TOLD BY UNHOOKING THE ABS IT WILL STOP DOING THIS BUT THEN I WILL HAVE NO ABS. WHATS THE POINT IN HAVING A NEW TRUCK WHEN THE REAR END WILL LOCK UP JUST LIKE IT DOES IN MY 1982 FORD TRUCK WITH NO ABS.

Mileage: 85,000

I HAD READ NUMEROUS PEOPLES COMPLAINT ON THIS ISSUE. THERE APPARENTLY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE A 98 CHEVY SILVERADO EXT.

I REALIZE THAT THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS ARE THE PROBLEM, BUT IF THERE IS RECALL FOR 99-UP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, WHY DOESN'T ANYONE FIX THIS? THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND GETS WORSE WHEN COLD OR RAINY OUT, WINTER IS COMING AND DO NOT WANT TO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM, PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

IT ALWAYS RETURNS WITHIN MINUTES OF LEAVING THE SHOP. THIS BEGAN TO HAPPEN IN FEB. OF 2004. I HAVE A 1998 SILVERADO 1500 4X4 WITH FRONT ANT-ILOCK BRAKES.

ABS BRAKES ON MY TRUCK ENGAGE AT LOW SPEEDS, MAKING STOPPING DIFFICULT. GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR 1999-2002 TRUCKS, BUT MINE IS A 1998. I CALLED GM TO VERIFY THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT I DID NOT QUALIFY BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS A '98 AND NOT A '99 PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND ALMOST EVERY TIME I AM AT A SLOW SPEED.

MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON MY 1998 CHEVROLET SILVERADO START TO GO INTO THE ANTI-LOCK MODE ON DRY PAVEMENT AT SLOW SPEEDS. THIS STARTED ON ITS OWN LAST JANUARY. I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE OF DRIVING ON WINTER ROADS IN WISCONSIN, BEING SNOW COVERED AND SOMETIMES ICY. HOWEVER, THIS CONDITION HAS CONTINUED THROUGH THE SPRING, SUMMER, AND NOW FALL. IN FACT, IT IS GETTING WORSE. IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME AND MAYBE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'M WAITING TO SEE WHAT GM IS GOING TO DO REGARDING A RECALL THAT IS IN EFFECT FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM IN 14 STATES. WISCONSIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, BUT THEY SHOULD BE. WE ARE CERTAINLY IN THE "SALT-BELT." AND THE RECALL SHOULD GO BACK TO 1996 BECAUSE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING MECHANISM IS SIMILAR FROM 1996-2002. *NM

I NOTICED IN AN EDITION OF THE MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE AND NOTICED THE RECALL OF THE 1999-2002 MODEL YEARS OF THE CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICK-UPS WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WITH THE ABS ENGAGING AT SPEEDS OF 4 TO 11 MPH AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 1998 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICK-UP TRUCK. WOULD MY TRUCK BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS RECALL OR NOT??

FOR THE LAST WEEK THE ABS IS KICKING IN WHEN STOPPING ON DRY PAVEMENT. ABS INCREASES STOPPING DISTANCE, KICKS IN AT SPEEDS OF 12 MPH DOWN TO 5 MPH. LATELY THE ABS LIGHT IS ON. WHEN ABS LIGHT IS ON, ABS DOES NOT KICK IN. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD PAY THE REPAIR FACILITY $70.00 TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM THAT I KNOW TO ALREADY EXIST. I AM GOING TO DISABLE THE ABS IN MY VEHICLE.

ABS ACTIVATION AT SPEED OF LESS THAN 10MPH ON DRY PAVEMENT WHEN THERE IS NO WHEEL SKID. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS IS BEING INVESTIGATED ON 1999-2002 GM PICK UPS.

I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS STOPPING AT LOW SPEED. BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED TO PULSE BACK LIKE THE ABS WAS ACTIVATING. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS WERE CORRODED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED PARTS AND IT COST ME $322.15. THEY NEVER SHOWED ME THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS.

ABS SPEED SENSOR HAS CORRODED. GM DID NOT WARN ME OF POTENTIAL CORROSION OR THAT THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH UNCONTROLLED STOPPING. GM ALSO DID NOT PLAN A MAINTENANCE CHECK UP ON THE ABS SENSOR, WHICH COULD HAVE PREVENTED PROBLEMS. DURING THE SHORT LIFE OF THE VEHICLE THIS PART WAS GRADUALLY BECOMING DEFECTIVE. THIS PART UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, SINCE IT IS IN A PROTECTED AND SEALED AREA THAT REQUIRES MAJOR MECHANICAL WORK. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE POINT OF PURCHASE, DON MCCUE CHEVROLET WHERE I HAVE MAJORITY OF ALL WORK DONE. THEY FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE NOT THE ONLY MECHANICS IN TOWN. THEY ARE USING THIS FACT FOR THE PURPOSE OF DENIAL OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY. I SPOKE WITH DENNIS BRINER THE SERVICE MANAGER AT DON MCCUE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND HE STATED AFTER SOME ARGUING THAT THIS AREA OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT CONSIDERED REGULAR MAINTENANCE WITH BRAKE JOBS OR ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE CHECK UP. THEY OFFERED $130.00 TO CLEAN THE CORROSION BUT LATER REFUSED, DUE TOO THE FACT THEY MAY BREAK THE SENSOR. MY FEELING IS, IS THAT THIS WAS A DEVELOPING PROBLEM OVER THE SHORT LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY GM. I SPOKE WITH GM CORPORATE DIRECTLY AND THEY RESPONDED THAT I FAILED TO KEEP REGULAR MAINTENANCE RECORDS. BUT WHEN I ASKED WHERE IN THEIR RECORDS DO THEY SHOW A REGULAR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FOR ABS SPEED SENSORS THEY SAID THERE ISN'T ONE. GM HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH AN OWNER'S MANUAL THAT PROVES THEM RIGHT. THE SOLUTION WAS TO PULL THE ABS FUSE BY DIRECTION OF A DON MCCUE SERVICE TECH. AND GM OFFERED TO GIVE ME A GM LOYALTY CERTIFICATE ONCE I GET THE WORK DONE. *AK

WHEN ROAD CONDITIONS ARE WET, THE REAR BRAKES ON MY TRUCK LOCK-UP AS THE VEHICLE IS COMING TO A STOP. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION, AS IT INTERFERES WITH MY ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE DURING WET CONDITIONS. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN I ACCELARATE FROM THE STOP, THE REAR BREAKS RELEASE WITH A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IN THE PAST AFTER GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM DID NOT PERSIST SINCE THE WHEATHER CONDITIONS AT THOSE TIMES WERE DRY. IN THE LAST INCIDENT, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED SINCE THE WHEATHER WAS RAINY AND THE ROADS WERE WET. I AM VERY CONCERNED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. *AK

STAR TRIBUNE NEWSPAPER WHICH SOMEONE WROTE IN WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM, SAME YEAR VEHICLE, AND SAID WE SHOULD CONTACT YOU FOR INVESTIGATION. THE BRAKES BASICALLY ENGAGE EVEN ON DRY PAVEMENT, MOVING AT SLOW SPEEDS. WE THINK THAT THESE BRAKES SHOULD ONLY BE ENGAGING WHEN YOU ARE HAVING TO STOP SUDDENLY AND ARE CONCERNED THIS MAY BE MORE OF A PROBLEM LATER ON. WE DO HAVE APPROX 120,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE BUT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME NOW. WE WERE TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT HIS PICKUP DOES THE SAME THING AND THIS YEAR IS NOTED FOR THAT PROBLEM.
