1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Service Brakes, Air Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ROTORS WERE SEVERELY FRACTURED AND THE WHEEL WELLS AS WELL AS THE ROCKER PANEL WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED UNKNOWN REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

ON MY WAY HOME FROM A BOY SCOUT MEETING, I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN ELECTRIC MOTOR OR PUMP RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY AND THE CHECK ABS LIGHT WAS ON ON MY DASH BOARD OF MY 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD EXTENDED CAB 4X4. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK IT TO A BRAKE SHOP AND THEY TESTED IT ON THE COMPUTER AND CONFIRMED THAT THE ABS SYSTEM HAD FAILED. IF GENERAL MOTORS PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS PART, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AND NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT THE ABS SYSTEMS FAILURE IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. SO, WHY NO RECALL? *TR

Mileage: 71,000

A RECALL WAS ISSUED RE: UNWANTED LOW SPEED ACTIVATION OF THE ABS. PRIOR TO THE RECALL I HAD ALREADY HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED AND REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT AFTER THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. I WAS ADVISED THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BASED SOLELY ON THE FACT THAT IT IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN MARYLAND AND NOT REGISTERED IN THE SPECIFIC STATES LISTED. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN PA AND WAS REGISTERED IN PA, THEN OH EXCLUSIVELY UNTIL FEB. 04 WHEN THE TRUCK WAS REGISTERED IN MARYLAND AS A RESULT OF A RELOCATION FROM OHIO. I AM SIMPLY STUNNED THAT GM IS EXCLUDING ME FROM THE RECALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND BOTTOM OF THE BARREL CUSTOMER SERVICE

ABS MOTOR CONTINUED TO RUN AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. HAD TO DISCONNECT THE 60 AMP FUSE TO PREVENT BATTERY FROM RUNNING DOWN. AM TOLD THAT THE ABS MODULE IS DEFECTIVE AND WILL COST WELL OVER $1000 OF MY MONEY TO REPAIR - THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THIS FROM A CHEVY WITH 80,000 MILES?? I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS FAILURE OCCURS SO OFTEN THAT THEY KEEP 4 TO 5 UNITS IN STOCK. WHY ISN'T THIS BEING RECALLED? WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO? *AK

MY FATHER FATHER-IN-LAW IS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND WAS DOING SOME WORK ON MY 1999 SILVERADO AND NOTICED THAT THE ABS MOTOR WAS CONTINUALLY RUNNING. TO STOP THIS HE HAD TO PULL THE FUSE. I RECENTLY DROVE MY TRUCK FROM MINNESOTA TO CALIFORNIA AND ON NUMBEROUS OCASSIONS I HAD TROUBLE STOPPING. I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK STILL WAS SLOW TO REACT. MOST OF THE TIME THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME, BUT THERE WERE A COUPLE TIMES WHEN I ALMOST REAR ENDED SOMEONE. I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I LIVE IN OVERSEAS. THE TRUCK IS LEFT IN MINNESOTA AND I DRIVE IT WHENEVER I AM HOME FOR VACATION. ONCE I MOVE HOME NEXT YEAR I WILL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IF CHEVY HASN'T SENT OUT A RECALL. HOW MANY STORIES LIKE THIS DOES IT TAKE FOR CHEVROLET TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED ABOUT AN ABS MOTOR THAT WON'T STOP RUNNING UNLESS THE FUSE IS PULLED? I SURE HOPE CHEVY DOES SOMETHING SOON.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN OHIO FOR MY WIFE [XXX], SHE REPORTED THAT THE ABS BRAKE WOULD SIMPLY NOT WORK ON ACCASION AND THE PEDAL WOULD GO STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR .WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER BUT HE COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM . AT LOWS SPEEDS I WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. DEALERS DOWN HERE SAY THE SENSOR IS BAD. WE PULLED THE FUSE TO DISABLE THE BRAKES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW BECAUSE A DELPHI ENGINEER TOLD ME THAT WOULD AT LEAST KEEP THE BRAKES WORKING . I HAVE 58000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND WE HAVE REPLACED THE CALIPERS THE ROTORS AND EVEN SOME OF THE BRAKE LINES HAVE RUSTED RUPTURING AND CAUSING A LOSS OF BRAKES. THE POWER STEERING HOSE LINE RUSTED AT THE COOLER RADIATOR. . YESTERDAY THE CHEVY DEALER IN GAINSEVILLE CALLED ME TO THE SHOP TO SEE HOW THE FRAME IS BEING EATEN AWAY , I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE EITHER WASN'T PROBERLY PREPARED WHEN BUILT OR THE PROTECTIVE PAINTS AND COATING WERE DEFFECTIVE. THE RECORDS AT JIM DOUGLAS CHEVOLET EVIDENCE THE EXPENSES WE HAVE INCUURED TO KEEP THE TRUCK OPERATIONAL. THE ABS MODULE AND THE LOSS OF BREAK LINES SEEM TO RELFLECT EXTEMELY POOR METAL COOROSION RESISTANCE , EVEN BOTH MY TAILGATE CABLE RUSTED AND BROKE .EACH TIME I HAVE TAKEN IN TO THE CHEVY DEALER FOR REPAIR THEY ARE AMAZED AT THE CORROSION PROBLEMS. EVEN THE TIRE JACK IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WAS RUSTED AND IT WAS NEVER USED. THE SCREWS INSIDE THE CENTER CONSOLE WERE RUSTED. I SPENT BETWEEN 2500.00 AND 3000.00 IN JUST THE BRAKE PROBLEM AND THAT IS WITHOUT TRYING TO FIX THE DEFECTIVE SENSOR MODULE. I ASSURE ABSENT A FORCED RECALL I SUSPECT GM WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. GM CONUMER RELATIOS SUGGESTED I GET A RECALL NUMBER AND MAYBE THEY COULD BE OF FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THUS I AM SEND YOU MY COMPLAINT. SINCERELY [XXX] . OUR VIN IS [XXX] OUR MODEL IS CK15753 THE CAR WAS ASSEMBLED AT FORT WAYNE. JUNE 6,1999. NOTE I SELECTED 25 FAILURES AS AN ESTIMATED OF FAILED COMPONETS IN THE UNRECARRAGE INCLUDING THE BRAKES AND THE ABS MODULE. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA),

I HAVE A 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO THAT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYSTEMS. WHEN YOU GET BELOW 10 MILES AN HOUR IT STARTS ACTING UP.. IT DOESNT WANT TO STOP. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LET OFF AND STOMP THEM A COUPLE OF TIMES TO GET THEM TO STOP.. YOU DONT KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO ACT UP EITHER. IT MAY GO A FEW TIMES WITHOUT A PROBLEM THEN THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW IT STARTS DOING IT. I TRY NOT TO DRIVE IT AND WHEN I DO ITS CLOSE BY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR . THEN THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD SEEN ON THE NEWS WHERE THERE IS A CONCERN WITH THIS PROBLEM.. AND TOLD ME I SHOULD WAIT ABIT IF I COULD BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE A RECALL AND THAT THIS COULD BE EXPENSIVE..

THE ABS & BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS SPORATICALLY ILLUMINATE WHILE DRIVEING AND WILL SOMETIMES RESET TO NORMAL AFTER YOU SHUT ENGINE OFF AND REMOVE KEY. THIS HAS CONTINUED FOR 2 OR 3 MONTHS. LAST WEEK IT FINALLY WENT ON AND REMAINED ON AND WOULD NOT CLEAR. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE MECHANIC AND HIS DIAGNOSTICS INDIACTED A FAULTY EBCM. I HAVE HAD IT CHANGED JUST TODAY. I HAVE CHECKED WITH E OTHERS WHO ALSO OWN THIS YEAR TRUCK SILVERADO AND THEY ALSO HAVE HAD PROBLEM. SOME HAVE HAD IT FIXES AND OTHERS NOT.

I OWN A 1999 CHEV. SILVERADO. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FAILING AT LOW SPEEDS. I HAD IT SERVICED AND IT WAS DUE TO CORROSION. THE PROBLEM IS STARTING TO REAPPEAR AGAIN.

ABS BRAKE FAILURE WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. THE ABS BRAKES WOULD COME ON IF I WENT OVER BUMPS OR RAILROAD TRACKS, AND THEN I WOULD HAVE TO PUMP MY BRAKES TO GET THEM BACK (OR THE TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP). FINALLY, AT 40,000 MILES MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON, MY ABS PUMP CAME ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF, AND THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY ABS MODULE BLEW. I WAS QUOTED $1,200 TO REPLACE IT. INSTEAD, I PULLED MY ABS FUSE AND OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ABS BRAKES AS I REFUSE TO PAY FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IS A DEFECTIVE ABS SYSTEM. IT IS MY HUMBLE OPINION THAT CHEVY SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE THIS DEFECT.

PURCHASED 99 SILVERADO IN AUG 2004, WITH ONLY 22600 MILES. WITHIN 1000 MILES MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON, WITH A LOUD HUMMING SOUND FROM UNDER MY TRUCK. MY ABS MODULE FAILED. COST TO REPLACE JUST THE PART EXCEEDS $800.00. GM SAY THERE IS NOT A RECALLABLE ISSUE, BUT EVERY DEALER/SERVICE DEPT I TALKED TO STATED IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE IT, ABS FUSE WAS REMOVED SO THAT THE PUMP WOULD NOT BURN UP.

GM 1999 SILVERADO ANIT LOCK BRAKE UNIT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN TRUCK WAS SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO DISCONNECT BATTERY AND BURNED FINGERS. TO CORRECT THE FAILURE PULLED THE FUSE, BUT BRAKES DO NOT STOP GOOD I HAVE TO PRESS REAL HARD TO STOP. THE PROBLEM WITH THE ABS BRAKE IS THAT THE PUMP MOTOR IS PRODUCING VOLTAGE SPIKES AND THE AMPLIFIER SHORTS AND WON'T SHUT OFF DRAWING HIGH CURRENT AND ANTI LOCK BRAKE FAILURE AND OVER HEATING OF BATTERY TERMINALS CAUSING BURNS WHEN TOUCHED. THIS WAS SO HOT THAT THE POST CAME OUT OF THE BATTERY. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM GM NEEDS TO CHANGE THE AMPLIFIER TO ORIGINAL FAILED 75 AMP PUMP MOTOR POWER AMPLIFIER WITH A DOUBLE DUTY RATED 104 AMP (360 AMP SURGE) DEVICE. ADD A 600 WATT HIGH SPEED VOLTAGE SUPPRESSOR TO PROTECT THE EBCM AND THE NEW AMPLIFIER SET FROM VOLTAGE SPIKES CREATED BY THE PUMP MOTOR AND JUMP STARTS. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS FIXED ON MY TRUCK BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A RECALL. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE THEM FIX THIS. YOU HAVE MANY LISTING OF THIS FAILURE ON YOUR SITE. LISTED AS BRAKE LIGHTS ON, ABS ETC. EBAY NOW HAS PEOPLE WHO FIX THESE MODULES ONE HAS OVER 400 SATISFIED CUSTOMERS. I THIS THIS MAY EFFECT MILLION OF TRUCKS. INCIDENT DATE I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK FOR ACTUAL DATE.

ON MONDAY, MARCH 21ST, 2005, WHEN MY 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCK WAS STARTED, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND A LOUD BUZZING SOUND FROM UNDER THE TRUCK STARTED. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF, THE BUZZING CONTINUED. THE 60 A FUSE WAS REMOVED TO FINALLY MAKING STOP, AFTER RUNNING THE BATTERY DOWN THE FIRST DAY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOUDL BE RECALLED OR ON EXTENDED WARRANTY. I READ ON A WEBSITE THAT MANY MANY OTHER TRUCK OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM LOOKING AT UPWARDS OF $1200 TO HAVE THIS MODULE ON THE ABS PUMP FIXED, AND THAT MIGHT NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM LONG TERM. IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN RIGHT AWAY. I WOULD APPRECIATE GM OR CHEVY RECALLING THIS MALFUCNTION TO THE ABS BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TAKES PLACE. I PURCHASHED A CHEVY TRUCK TO AVOID THESE TYPES OF ISSUES. NOW I HAVE A $1200 ESTIMATE TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT SHOUDL BE UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALLED. PLEASE INFORM ME AS TO HOW MUCH CHEVY IS WILLING TO REIMBURSE ME ON THIS MAJOR PROBLEM THAT IS CHEVY/GM'S FAULT. MICHAEL A. SETLAK 8937 NAUTICAL WAY NEW HAVEN, IN 46774

WHILE DRIVING MY 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. A LITTLE SEARCHING BROUGHT ME TO THE ABS MODULE ON THE FRAME UNDER THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. IT WAS RUNNING, EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED, IT CONTINUED TO RUN. I DISCONNECTED THE POWER TO THE UNIT AND TAPPED THE WIRE UP SO AS NOT TO LET IT GET WET,(OBVIOUSLY,IT'S CARRYING A LOT OF JUCE.) WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE ENTIRE MODULE WAS BAD AND IT WOULD COST NEARLY 1000 DOLLARS TO FIX. HE SAID THAT THE MODULE ITSELF WAS GOING TO COST 761 DOLLARS. IT'S MY OPINION THAT NOTHING MORE THAN AN INTERNAL RELAY HAS GONE BAD AND I KNOW FOR A FACT IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS TOO. MY TRUCK HAS ONLY 35,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULDN'T BE PRESENTING COSTLY REPAIRS LIKE THIS WHILE I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT AND HAVE BABIED IT IN THE 13 MONTHS THAT I'VE OWNED IT. IF THESE MODULES ARE FAILING AT THE RATE THAT IT APPEARS THEY ARE THEN CHEVY SHOULD RECALL THEM OR COME UP WITH A LESS EXPENSIVE SOLUTION LIKE AN EXTERNAL BY-PASS TYPE RELAY THAT WOULDN'T INVOLVE REPLACING A COSTLY MODULE LIKE THIS OVER SOME 5 OR 10 DOLLAR RELAY. *AK

WHILE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY I COMPLAINED OF FADING BRAKES WHILE TRAVERSING ROUGH SPOTS IN ROADS.DEALERSHIP MECHANICS SAID IT WAS THE ABS SYSTEM. HE SAID I COULD DISCONNECT IT?BUT I CHOSE NOT TO. NOW MY 1999 SILVERADO HAS AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM. WHILE PERFORMING A GENTLE STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD AND VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP UNLESS I STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I CRASHED THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED. MY BRAKES WERE INSPECTED AND THEY ARE ALL IN GOOD ORDER. THE MECHANIC DID HOWEVER NOTICE THAT THE ABS WAS ON CONSTANTLY. ( SO DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN ON THIS MATTER) THERE IS NUMEROUS COMPLAINT ABOUT THE ABS SYSTEM IN THIS TRUCK.

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT LOCKS UP WHEN YOU GO TO LOOK TO CHANGE LANES (DEALER COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM--SO IT'S NEVER BEEN FIXED). PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKS UP IF YOU JUST LEAN FORWARD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW (WAS TOLD THIS WAS A MECHANISM FOR A BABY SEAT--DIDN'T THINK CAR SEATS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE FRONT SEAT). RIGHT SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP BURNED OUT A LONG TIME AGO. ABS MODULE FAILED (HAD TO PULL THE FUSE SO THE PUMP WOULDN'T BURN UP) THEREFORE THE TRUCK NO LONGER HAS ABS. DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL HUB FAILED DUE TO LACK OF GREASE IN THE NON-CONSUMER MAINTAINABLE BEARING (THE WHOLE HUB HAD TO BE REPLACED). THE WATER PUMP HAS ALREADY FAILED (REPLACED THAT). THE TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO SLIP HERE & THERE. THE ACCELERATOR STICKS CAUSING YOU TO HAVE TO JAM ON IT IN PARKING LOTS & OTHER PLACES WHERE IT'S JUST NOT SAFE TO BE DARTING FORWARD. THIS MODEL YEAR WAS JUST A BAD YEAR FOR GM. THEY NEED TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE WORST GM VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED (AND I'VE BEEN A LOYAL GM CUSTOMER ALL MY DRIVING YEARS). *AK

NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS WITH CONSISTENT VEHICLE MAINTAINENCE. THE ABS MODULE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO LOSE POWER AND REQUIRED MORE THAN NORMAL BRAKING TIME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS IMMEDIATELY AT A COST OF $1,000. I WAS TOLD IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY PART THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF BUT REFUSES TO RECALL DUE TO THE 750,000 1999 SILVERADOS ON THE ROAD. AT A PART COST OF $700 YOU CAN EASILY DO THE MATH. A RECALL MUST BE IN ORDER. THESE HEAVY TRUCKS ARE NOT SAFE ON THE ROAD IF NOT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN ORDER.*AK

SO NOT ONLY IS GM UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, THEY ARE COMPOUNDING THE PAIN FOR OWNERS BY HOLDING A MONOPOLY ON THE REPAIR PART.

THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE PUMP FROM CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING WAS TO REMOVE THE ABS FUSE WHICH DISABLES THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. I CONTACTED GM BUT THEY'RE ADVICE IS TO TAKE TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR.

1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAS TWO PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES.

MY WIFE BACKED OUT OF THE GARAGE AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. SHE PULLED BACK IN TO THE GARAGE AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. SHE HEARD A "MOTOR RUNNING" SOUND FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT.

WITH UNDER 60,000 MILES THE ABS FAILED ALLOWING THE MODULE MOTOR TO RUN CONSTANTLY. CHEVY MECHANIC ADVIDSED PULLING THE 60 AMP FUSE AS THE COST FOR THE MODULE WAS OVER $500. ALOS TOLD TO BE CAREFUL DRIVNG ON WET PAVEMENT AS THE BRAKING WOULD NOT BE AS SAFE W/O THE ABS SYTEM WORKING. CONTACTED CHEVY AND NEGOTIATED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ABS MODULE, HOWEVER UPON AGREEING TO PAY FOR 1/2 THE COST THE CHEVY FOLKS RAISE THE INITIAL $500 DEALER QUOTE TO $899 WHICH WOULD NOT INCLUDE THE LABOR. AS THE SAFETY IS LESS WHEN ON WET PAYMENT I AM L;OOKING FOR A RECALL OF THIS ABS SYSTEM. THE CHEVY MECHAINC SAY IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WIHT THE USSUAL COURSE OF ACTION BEING TO PULL THE FUSE AND RUN WITH THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ON. AS I HAVE LEASED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD BY THE LEASING COMPANY I WILL HAVE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT IS ACCEPTED BACK WHEN THE LEASE EXPIRES. I HAVE COPIIES OF ALL THE COREESPONDANCE WITH THE CHEVY FOLKS ITF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM.

I OWN A 1999 CHEVY SIVLERADO. ON 12/27/02 I STARTED MY VEHICLE AFTER LEAVING WORK AND NOTICED THAT THE ABS LIGHT WENT ON. AFTER I GOT HOME AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK (SOUNDED LIKE AN ELECTRIC MOTOR RUNNING). I DROVE THE TRUCK OVER TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND ONE OF THE TECH'S LISTENED TO THE TRUCK AND DIAGNOSED IT AS THE ABS MODULE. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER TO CALL ME WITH A QUOTE FOR REPAIR. HE CALLED ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AND SAID THAT IT WAS THE ABS MODULE, AND IT WOULD COST AROUND $1000 TO REPAIR. I DECLINED REPAIR AS I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKES WOULD FUNCTION FINE BY JUST PULLING THE ABS FUSE (THE ABS WOULDN'T WORK, BUT THE BRAKES WOULD WORK FINE). TRYING TO NEGOTIATE WITH DEALER AND/OR GM ON REPAIR COST. TRUCK HAS 60000 MILES, SO THEY ARE SAYING "OUT OF WARRANTY". I SAID "STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT!" SAW THESE OTHER INSTANCES OF THE SAME PROBLEM ON THIS WEB SITE, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD ADD MINE. LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS ON THIS VEHICLE AND THEY ARE NOT TAKING CARE OF IT.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OUR ABS SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. AT TIMES THE ABS WOULD SUDDENLY ENGAGE WHEN IT WASN'T WARRANTED (I.E., IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER ON A DRY ROAD, SLOWLY APPROACHING A STOP). THEN SUDDENLY, BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH THE BUZZING NOISE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE NOISE WAS TO PULL OUT THE FUSE TO THE ABS SYSTEM. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I'VE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG OTHER 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO OWNERS. SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE ABS SYSTEM IN THESE MODELS. GENERAL MOTORS WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE UNIT COSTS $1000 TO FIX, WHICH BY THE TIME THE DEFECT USUALLY SHOWS UP, WARRANTIES DON'T COVER. MY GUESS IS THAT BY THE TIME SOMEONE TAKES THIS PROBLEM SERIOUSLY ENOUGH TO TAKE A LOOK INTO THIS AND REALIZES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYSTEM IN THE 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO, THAT SOMEONE WILL HAVE GOTTEN HURT OR EVEN WORSE...A DEATH WILL OCCUR BECAUSE OF IT.

WHEN BRAKE APPLIED AT SLOW SPEED, TRUCK FAILED TO SLOW DOWN WITH CONSTANT BRAKE PRESSURE. I ALMOST REAR-ENDED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. PAVEMENT WAS CLEAN AND DRY. I HAVE ALSO BEEN GETTING ABS CHATTER WHEN STOPPING AT SLOW SPEEDS. DT

ABS BRAKES SEVERLY RESIST THE OPERATORS ATTEMPTS TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP AT SLOW SPEED. THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES BUT INCREASED PRESSURE BY THE OPERATOR WILL NOT BEING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF OF THE PEDAL COMPLETELY, THEN SLAM IT DOWN WITH FORCE TO GET THE TRUCK TO JERK TO A STOP MANY FEET PAST WHERE IT WOULD NORMALLY STOP. THIS FREQUENTLY CAUSES A LOSS OF CONTROL AT SLOW SPEED SUCH AS PULLING UP TO A GAS PUMP OR STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP UNTIL IT WAS WELL INTO AN INTERSECTION. DEALER WOULD NOT REPAIR UNLESS "THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON" WHICH IT NEVER DID. OWNER REMOVED THE ABS FUSE AND THE VEHICLE STOPS NORMALLY WITH ABS DISABLED. OWNER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 1999 SILVERADO WHICH REQUIRES NEARLY $1000 TO REPAIR, BUT GM WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR OF THESE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE ABS SYSTEMS. DT

CONSUMER STATES THE BACK ROTORS HAVE COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED AND COULD NOT BE CUT OR TURNED UPON RECENT BRAKE SERVICE. MR

MANY PEOPLE SIMPLY PULL FUSE OR DISCONNECT ABS PUMP POWER AND GO WITHOUT ABS BECAUSE OF THE COST OF REPAIRS. DUE TO THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE, THIS COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY PROBLEM. DT

THE BREAK PEDEL BECOMES ROCK HARD AND THE TRUCK WILL NOT STOP HAVE TO USE THE EMERGANCY BRAKE WHEN THE ANTILOCK BRAKE FUSE IS REMOVED THE BRAKES WORK FINE. BEFORE I REMOVED THE FUSE WAS ALMOST IN MANY CRASHES, IF I HAD NOT USED THE E BRAKE!!!!!!!!!! DT

I HAVE TALKED WITH OVER 50 PEOPLE JUST IN THE KNOXVILLE AREA THAT HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM - A "BURNT OUT ELECTRICAL DELAY IN THE ABS UNIT" - COSTING UPWARDS OF $1000 TO FIX. I HAVE PUT LESS THAN 5000 ON THIS VEHICLE FROM MY DATE OF PURCHASE EARLIER THIS YEAR. I AM STILL UNDER DEALER WARRANTY AND I WILL BE DEMANDING A REFUND AND AN EXPLANATION. IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM, SOME PEOPLE TOLD ME IT IS CAUSED BY WATER FROM THE LEFT TIRE SPLASHING ON THE SPEED SENSORS, VITRUALLY RENDERING THEM USELESS, THEN WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? DT

THE ABS MOTOR KEEPS RUNNING AFTER THE TRUCK IS CUT OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO PULL THE FUSE, SO I HAVE NO ABS. GM FINDS WAYS TO GET OUT OF THEIR WARRANTIES AND COULD CARELESS THAT THEY ARE CREATING SAFETY PROBLEMS. WHEN YOU PAY $26,000 FOR SOMETHING YOU EXPECT IT TO WORK AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES SHOULD BE JUST THAT INSTEAD OF WAYS TO SUCK OUT MORE MONEY FROM BUYERS. DT

ABS PUMP CONTINUED TO RUN WITH VEHICLE OFF. ABS/BRAKE LIGHT REMAIN ON SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. DT

CONSUMER NOTICED THE AT HOME DIDN'T HAVE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED YET. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION . MR

ABS MODULE FAILS, AND ANTILOCK BRAKE ARE INOPERATABLE. MODULE IS LOCATED UNDER THE TRUCK ON THE FRAME RAIL. THIS PROBABLY CAUSES WATER TO SHORT IT OUT. DT

THE MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE ABS IS FAILING TO TURN THE ABS MOTOR OFF WHEN THE TRUCK IS STOPPED. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVY AND THEY HAVE SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BUT SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS. IT WAS NOT MENTIONED AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET CONCERNING THIS ISSUE AND IT IS FILLED WITH MESSAGE BOARDS COMPLAINING OF THIS SAME ISSUE. HOW MUCH MORE HAS TO BE DONE TO START A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THIS? DT

THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT SLIDE FORWARD WHILE STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. I STOPPED AND COULD NOT GET IT TO LATCH BACK IN PLACE WHICH IS DIFFICULT SINCE I AM SOME WHAT TALL AND HAD TO USE MY LEFT LEG TO BRACE MY SELF SO I WOULD NOT SLIDE FORWRAD THE REST OF THE WAY. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING HOME UPON ARRIVING HOME I GOT OUT AND HEARD A NOISE WHICH SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I LET IT GO FOR A WHILE ABOUT TWO DAYS AND IT RAN THE BATTERY DOWN CAUSING ME TO HAVE IT JUMP STARTED SINCE THEN I HAVE PULLED THE FUSE TO THE ABS IN THE FUSE BOX TO TURN WHATEVER WAS RUNNING OFF.

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE ABS FAILED, RESULTING IN NO ABS BRAKES, WHEN NEEDED. DEALER CONTACTED, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. TS *JB

ROTORS DETERIATED

AIR BRAKES ABS MOTOR CONTINUES TO RUN, AND OVER TIME DRAINS BATTERY AND REDUCES OPERATING ABILITY OF BRAKING SYSTEM. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THIS COMPONENT AT THE CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

WHEN CONSUMER TURNED OFF IGNITION AND EXITED VEHICLE, HE HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE AREA, INDICATING THAT A SYSTEM WAS STILL OPERATING.

PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

THE FAILURE OF THE ABS ECU AND PUMP ARE DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE UNIT WHICH IS LOCATED UNDER THE VEHICLE BELOW THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE ABS UNIT IS IN THE DIRECT SPASH PATH OF THE FRONT LEFT TIRE. I DONT THINK THE ENGINEERS THAT DESIGNED THIS UNIT TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION THAT THE ABS ECU AND PUMP GET A PRESURE WASH EVERTIME IT RAINS. WHEN THE UNIT FAILED I WENT TO THE DEALER IN NORMAN, OK (MARK HEITZ) AND TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT IT. HE TOLD ME THAT THEY REPLACE THESE UNITS QUITE OFTEN BECAUSE THEY GET WATER IN THEM AND SHORT OUT. NOT BEING FAMILIAR WITH THE UNIT I ASKED MORE QUESTION. THE ECU IS SEALED TO THE PUMP AND WHEN WATER ENTERS THROUGH THE SEAL IT SHORTS OUT THE ECU AND STARTS RUSTING OUT THE PUMP. THE RUST IN THE PUMP CONCERNS ME BECAUSE IT CAN POTENTIALY CONTAMINATE THE BRAKE FLUID AND CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE. TOM-THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MARK HEITZ EXACT WORDS "THE PUMP HAD WATER IN IT AND IT WAS FULL OF RUST" MARK HEITZ PHONE NUMBER IS 405-321-7021. THE OTHER FAILURE IS THE PARKING BREAK. I DONT THINK IT EVER WORKED THE DAY IT CAME OFF THE DEALER LOT. THE FIRST TIME I TRIED TOUSED THE PARKING BRAKE WAS AT BEAVER LAKE IN ARKANSAS ON A CAMPING TRIP. THIS WAS LAST SUMMER -SUMMER OF 2000-. I PARKED ON A STEEP HILL AND APPLIED THE PARKING BREAK . THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR RATER EASILY AND I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT, THAT WAS UNITLL I GOT IN THE TRUCK AND TRIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE, I HAD A HARD TIME GETTING IT OUT OF PARK. THE NUT ON THE TENSIONER SHAFT TO THE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM UNDER THE TRUCK IS COMPLETELY TIGHTENED. THE CABLE BRANCES OFF TO EACH REAR CALIPER AND IS EACH ATTACHED TO A LEVER ON THE CALIPERS. I'VE OBSERVED THE LEVERS MOVE AND STILL NO PARKING BRAKE. THE LEVERS LOOK TO BE FULLY ENGAGED, THAT IS THE LEVERS ARE PULLED AS FAR FORWARD AS POSSIBLE BY THE CABLES. IT'S A GREAT FEELING TO KNOW THAT YOU'VE PAID THIRTY GRAND FOR A VEHICLE WITH PROBLEMS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION I CAN BE REACHED AT ANY TIME ON MY MOBILE 405.205.6621-THANKS.

THE ABS PUMP CONTINUES TO RUN EVEN AFTER IGNITION IS TURNED OFF, THUS DRAINING BATTERY. INORDER TO STOP PUMP THE ABS MUST BE DISABLED RESULTING IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION, DRIVING THE VEHICLE WIH COMPROMISED STOPPING ABILITY WHICH CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT CAUSING BODILY HARM OR EVEN DEATH. *AK

FRONT BRAKES DON'T HAVE A SURE STOP WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP. DEALER HAS SEEN VEHICLE SEVERAL FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.*AK

WHEN STOPPING ON ROUGH ROAD THE BRAKES RELEASED AND THEN LOCKED UP. I TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY COMPLAINTS ON THE BRAKE SYSTEMS. PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOVED.

THE ABS SYSTEM/PUMP MADE A TERRIBLE SOUND AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO STATED JUST TO UNPLUG THE ABS POWER SUPPLY BUT THE BRAKES WERE FINE. ANOTHER FRIEND, JULIAN SCAFF, HAS THE SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR TRUCK AND HAS HAD THE EXACT ABS FAILURE. BOTH WERE AT APPROX. 45,000 MILES. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR BRAKES LOCKING UP AND NOT UNLOCKING FOR A FEW MINUTES. THIS HAS CAUSED UNTOLD WEAR AND REDUCED FUEL MILAGE CONSIDERABLY. THESE ARE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES.

ABS FAILED ON WET SURFACE,SPUN 450 DEG,AFTER SPIN FAILED TO STOP VEHICLE. HISTORY: APPOXIMATELY 4-6 TIMES OVER A NINE MONTH PERIOD, WHEN THE BRAKES WERE FIRST APPLIED THEY DID NOT APPEAR TO WORK. UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE AND REAPPLYING, THE BRAKES THEN WORKED. THEN OVER THREE MONTH PERIOD THE BRAKES BEGAN TO FEEL CHOPPY WHEN STOPPING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND ALL FOUR ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED (ONLY 10000 MILES ON VEHICLE). TWO DAYS LATER ON A WET SURFACE, GOING 16-20 MPH ON A RIGHT TURN WITH A SLIGHT UPHILL GRADE, WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE BACK END OF THE TRUCK CAME SPINNING AROUND IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION. AT 90 DEGREES THE BRAKE WAS RELEASED. THE TRUCK SPUN A TOTAL OF 450 DEGREES. THEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED HARD, YOU COULD HEAR THE SOUND OF THE ABS BUT THE TRUCK DID NOT RESPOND AT ALL, THERE WAS NO BRAKING ACTION. THE VEHICLE CRASHED HEAD ON INTO A GUARD RAIL. THE ENTIRE FRONT BUMPER NEEDS REPLACING. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED.

THE BRAKES GET HARD AND WON'T WORK, THEN THEY SUDDENLY LOCK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US SEVERAL TIMES, AND TO THE SERVICE GUY ONCE. THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT WAS IN FOR SERVICE, THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER THEY WENT OUT ON THE SERVICE GUY, THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY WENT OUT AGAIN, AND THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. THEY JUST WENT OUT AGAIN, AT AN INTERSECTION, AND WE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. IT IS BACK AT THE CHEVY DEALER, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW, AND CHEVY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IS ANYONE ELSE REPORTING PROBLEMS WITH THESE TRUCKS?

ABS: WHILE BRAKING OVER SEMI-ROUGH/ROUGH SURFACE, BRAKES SEEM TO SLIP OR DISENGAGE, CAUSING EXTREME VIBRATION. TRANSMISSION: WHILE PULLING TRAILER OR ACCELERATING UPHILL, EXCESSIVE VIBRATION OCCURS. STEERING: WHILE SPEEDS 45 MPH+, MODERATE VIBRATION IN FRONT-END AND STERRING COLUMN. SUSPENSION: WHILE TIURNING WHEELS MAXIMUM LEFT OR RIGHT, OR DRIVING OVER UNEVEN SURFACES, HEAR A CLICKING NOISE IN FRONT-END. REAR WINDOW: LATCH DOES NOT SECURELY TIGHTEN WINDOW CAUSING EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE.

NEW VEHICLES NEED MORE TESTING BEFORE THEY ARE SOLD TO THE PUBLIC.

SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE, TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN VIBRATING AND CAUSING ENGINE TO FEEL LIKE IT IS UNDER STRESS/HEAVY LOAD. CONTACTED DEALER AND ANOTHER CHEV. SERV. BOTH ADVISE CHEV. KNOWS OF PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS OR HOW TO CORRECT IT. CONTACTED CHEV. CUST.SERV. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. THEY DO NOT CARE. SIMPLY STATE IF CHEV. TAC SAYS THEY ARE WORKING ON PROBLEM WHAT DO I CARE. THEY WILL FIX IT EVENTUALLY. PROBLEM IS IF THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS HOW CAN CHEV. CLAIM IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. SECOND PROBLEM- ABS BRAKES ARE ACTIVATING ON DRY HARD SURFACE AT SPEEDS UNDER 40 MPH. DEALER SYAYS PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST. STATED THEY CALLED CHEV. TAC KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BREAK PROBLEMS SO THERE MUST NOT BE ONE. TRIED TO SAY THAT I DONT KNOW HOW ABS WORKS. HAVE HAD ABS FOR 15 YEARS KNOW IT PRETTY WELL. IT IS DEFINITELY ACTIVATING WHEN IS SHOULD NOT. IT SEEMS THAT CHEV. IS NOT CONCERNED BECASUE TRUCK WAS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR.
