1999 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 complaints

I HAVE A 1999 CHEVROLET C/K 2500 5 SPEED PICKUP, AND THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IS FAILING TO OPERT. PROPERLY. I HAVE REPLACED ALL OF THE FRONT AND REAR PADS, AND SHOES. ALONG WITH REAR DRUMS, FRONT ROTORS AND ALL OF THE LINES. AND I HAVE A PROBLEM THAT GM WILL NOT HELP ME REPAIR THE DEFECT ON VEHICLE, AND THAT NO RECALL IS OUT FOR THIS VEHICLE.*AK THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I TRY TO STOP IN ANY CONDITION DRY OR WET ROADS, LOW OR HIGH SPEEDS THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM FAILS BY MAKING A LOUD GROWLLING SONG, AND LOCKS THE BRAKES ON ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DEALERS AND PRIV. SHOPS AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. AND HAVE KNOW INFORMATION ON WHAT IS CAUSING THE BRAKES TO LOCK. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME TO REPLACE THE PARTS WITHIN FIVE MONTHS. AND SOMETHINK NEEDS TO BE DONE. MY FATHER-IN-LAW ALSO HAS THE SAME YEAR OF WORK TRUCK AND IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT CAUSED AND CRASH DUE TO DRIVER SAFTY BUT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. FOR IF AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER MAY LEAD TO FAILURE WITH POSSIBLE INJURY.

THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH BOTH TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES. *BF *SC *JB

I OWN A 1999 CHEVROLET 2500 HD 4X4. THE ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT WILL STAY ON WHEN THE ABS MODULE GOES OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND ONE THAT IS WIDELY KNOWN ON ANY OF THE CHEVROLET FORUMS ON THE WEB. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK TO TOW A TRAILER WITH MY FAMILY, NOW KNOWING THIS SAFETY ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY GM AND A RECALL STARTED I AM NOT GOING TO PUT MY 2 KIDS SAFETY IN JEAPARDY. I WOULD HOPE THAT A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY LIKE GM COULD AND WOULD LOOK OUT FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM TAKING THE $800.00 - $1500.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT THIS "FIX" ONLY LAST A LITTLE WHILE. IN THE MEAN TIME YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR ABS, AND POSSABLE CRASH AND KILL SOMEONE. I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND I HOPE THIS WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF. IT JUST GOT A DIFFERENT MODULE PUT IN THE DAY BEFORE I PICKED IT UP. WELL SEE HOW LONG IT LAST. IT'S REALLY SAD AND I HOPE YOU DON'T BASE YOUR INVESTIGATIONS ON WEATHER THERE WAS A DEATH OR INJURY. GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM. TELL THEM TO RECALL ALL ABS MODULES IN 1999. IT'S SAD THAT IT TAKES HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF MAD PEOPLE TO TAKE TIME OUT OF THERE BUSY SCHEDULES TO TYPE OR CALL YOU GUYS BEFORE THE GUYS MAKING MILLIONS WILL TAKE RESPOSIBILITY. *AK
