1999 Chevrolet Silverado complaints

CONSUMER STATED HAVING THE SAME AS A TSB#868309, ABS. DEALER NOTIFED. *AK

ABS MODULE FAILURE ON A 99 SILVERADO 4WD. THIS FAILED BEFORE THE FIRST BRAKE JOB. WHEN THE MODULE FAILS THE MOTOR RUNS UNTIL THE BATTERY IS DEAD. REPLACEMENT OF THE MODULE IS A RIDICULOUS $1000 FOR 15 MINS WORTH OF WORK. THIS SHOULD BE WARRANTED ON TIME NOT MILEAGE. *NLM

WHEN THE CONSUMER TRIED TO APPLY THE ABS, THEY LOCKED UP AND CAUSED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *NLM PH *JB

THE CONSUMER'S 2 YEAR OLD SON WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT WITHOUT THE BRAKE BEING APPLIED FIRST, AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS A DEFECT, BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, THE BRAKE MUST BE APPLIED BEFORE THE GEAR SHIFT CAN ENGAGE IN A GEAR. *JB PH *JB

CHEVROLET SIVERADO EXTENDED CAB, 1999 ;ABS SYSTEM FAILED IN JUNE 2003! (TRANSMISSION BROKE IN SUMMER 2002.COULDN'T BACK-UP ANYMORE!). *AK

THE ABS MODULE HAS JUST GONE OUT ON MY 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO (WITH 49K MILES). ACCORDING TO RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE ON THE INTERNET I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS DO A SEARCH ON YAHOO WITH THE TERMS "CHEVROLET SILVERADO ABS MODULE" AND A HUGE AMOUNT OF RESPONSES COME UP. GM IS CHARGING BETWEEN $1000 AND $1500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SINCE THIS IS SUCH AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR, TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WHAT MOST PEOPLE ARE DOING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IS PULLING THE FUSE ON THE ABS SYSTEM. THIS MEANS THAT THEY HAVE NO ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND THE BRAKE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. THEREFORE THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL IF THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. *JB

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE CONTROL VALVE MALFUNCTIONED AT LOW SPEED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED ON A ROUGH SURFACE ROAD. THE CONTROL VALVE HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP. MY CONCERN IS THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 1999 YEAR MODEL SILVERADO CHEVROLET PICKUPS. THIS VALVE IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND I HOPE THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN BUT IF IT DOES I DON'T FEEL THIS IS FAIR TO THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. I SEE THERE HAS BEEN 47 COMPLAINTS LOGGED TO DATE AND I KNOW OF AT LEAST ONE OTHER THAT HAS NOT LOGGED A COMPLAINT. THE FIX IS EITHER REPLACE THE VALVE OR DISCONNECT THE SYSTEM SO THE ANTI LOCK SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. I FEEL WE ( THE PUBLIC ) PAY ENOUGH FOR THESE VEHICLES THAT WE ARE ENTITLED THE FEATURES WE PAY FOR. *NLM

1999 CHEVROLET. SILVERADO PICKUP. 2 RIMS CRACKED WITHIN 3 WEEKS. 1ST RIM CRACKED 6-2-03. SECOND RIM CRACKED 6-17-03. PART IN QUESTION IS CHEVROLET. RIM #0959-3150 16 X 6.5. *NLM

AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE I NOTICED A NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ABS CONTROL MODULE WAS NO GOOD. THE MECHANIC PULLED THE FUSE WHICH SHUT THE MOTOR DOWN. HE INDICATED THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT CHEVROLET WOULDN'T AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR WHEN OUT OF WARRANTY. HE SAID THE PART ITSELF WOULD COST $800. SEEMS TO ME ANY PROBLEM WITH A BRAKE COMPONENT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A HAZARD AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED ON THESE VEHICLES. *NLM

JUST AFTER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY WAS UP, THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE PUMP MOTOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY. HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSE TO STOP IT. COST TO REPLACE IS $900 PLUS, ON A PART THAT SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE TRUCK! FRIENDS PURCHASED AN IDENTICAL TRUCK TO OUR, DID THE SAME THING AT 38,000 MILES. *NLM

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE REAR LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING . DEALER REPLACED THEM AT 40.000 MILES. ONCE AGAIN IT HAPPENED AT 59,000 MILES. CONSUMER INDICATED THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT ANY LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.*AK

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE CONTROL MODULE FAILURE. MY TRUCK HAS BRAKES NOW BUT NO ANTI-LOCK BECAUSE FUSE WAS PULLED TO KEEP BATTERY FROM RUNNING DOWN DUE TO CONTROL MODULE HUMMING. *JB

THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. WHEN VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF, THE ABS UNIT CONTINUED TO RUN. PULLED THE 60 AMP FUSE AND THE UNIT SHUT OFF. CONTINUED TO DRIVE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE FUSE. BEEN DRIVING IT THIS WAY FOR ABOUT A MONTH. BRAKES ARE NOW WORN. DO NOT RELISH SPENDING $1000+ TO REPAIR A 4 YEAR OLD TRUCK WITH LOW MILEAGE!! *NLM

THE BRAKES FAILED WHILE COMING TO A STOP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *NLM

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.

LOCK FOR DRIVERS SEAT HAS FAILED TWICE

ACID FROM THE BATTERY ESCAPED WHILE DRIVING AND DRIPPED ONTO THE WASHER TANK PUMP MOTOR. THE ACID DISSOLVED THE HOUSING AND THE PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TT

THE ABS CONTROL MODULE ON THE 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAS BEEN GOING BAD PREMATURELY. A GREAT NUMBER OF THESE TRUCKS ARE HAVING THIS UNIT'S MOTOR RUN CONTINUOSLY, CAUSING THE OWNERS TO REMOVE THE ABS 60 AMP FUSE TO STOP THE LOUD HUMMING SOUND FROM UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THESE MODULES ARE GOING OUT JUST AFTER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRES.THE COST TO REPLACE THIS UNIT IS EXTREMELY HIGH. MANY OWNERS REFUSE TO SPEND THIS MUCH MONEY ON A PART THAT SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN THAT, CAUSING THEM TO KEEP THE FUSE OUT. BY DOING THIS, IT MAKES THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS TO STAY ON ALL THE TIME. IF ANOTHER PROBLEM IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM WOULD DEVELOP, THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE NO PRIOR WARNING SOMETHING IS WRONG. THAT MAY BE A REAL SERIOUS HAZARD IN THE YEARS TO COME. NO WARNING-NO BRAKES! GM HAS KNOWN THE PROBLEM EXISTS, AND SINCE IMPROVED THE LATER MODEL SILVERADOS. AT LEAST THEY COULD RE-WIRE A NEW BRAKE LIGHT FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO HAVE THE ABS FEATURE ON THEIR VEHICLE. MUST HAVE AN HYDRAULIC BRAKE WARNING OF SOME KIND TO AVOID SERIOUS ACCIDENTS! APPROX. COST OF REPAIR IS CLOSE TO $1,000. TOO MUCH FOR THE AVERAGE WORKING CLASS AMERICAN! SHOULD BE RECALLED BY GMC BEFORE THE ACCIDENTS START PILING UP.*AK

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK USED WITH SLIGHTLY OVER 26,000 MILES ON IT WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE ORIGINAL 3YR/36,000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. SINCE THE PURCHASE THERE HAS BEEN A POPPING AND RATCHETING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR END. THE DIFFERENTIAL UNIT WAS IMPROPERLY OPERATING. TRIED FOR 22,000 MILES TO GET THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE DIFFERENTIAL UNIT BUT WAS TOLD SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE UNIT WAS FINE AND THE NOISE WAS TO BE EXPECTED. WHEN THE TRUCK REACHED 40,000 MILE THE DIFFERENTIAL BECAME COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. JUST OVER 27,000 MILES LATER THE DIFFERENTIAL EXPLODED DESTROYING THE ENTIRE INTERNAL AXLE ASSEMBLY. THE DEALER STILL REFUSES TO HELP. THE DEALER REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR THE ORIGNAL OWNER AND IS STILL REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ARE TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I REALLY DID NOT APPRECIATE THE WAY THE DEALER HAS TREATED ME THIS ENTIRE TIME. THEY TREATED ME LIKE I WAS SOME DUM PUNK KID THAT JUST WALKED IN OFF THE STREET. I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TREATED THIS WAY NOR SHOULD I OR ANYONE ELSE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS KIND OF SERVICE.

THE ANTI-LOCK CONTROL UNIT HUMS AND HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED. I WAS TOLD BY CHEVROLET THAT WOULD COST $700 TO $800 TO FIX. I HAVE SINCE SPOKEN TO OTHER CHEVROLET OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS ON A 1999 CHEVROLET EXT CAB SILVERADO PICKUP

ABS PUMP FAILURE RESULTING IN LOSS OF ABS BRAKING ABILITY. ABS PUMP REMAINED ON AFTER EVEN AFTER IGNITON WAS SHUT OFF. HAD TO REMOVE ABS FUSE TO GET ABS PUMP TO SHUT OFF

WHILE DRIVING THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF. *NLM. *AK

DRIVERS SEAT LOCKING MECHANISM BROKE. WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, DRIVER WAS THRUST AGAINST STEERING WHEEL. SEATBELTS DO NOT HELP AS THEY ARE ATTACHED TO THE SEAT. SEAT SLIDES FORWARD AND BACKWARD FREELY. I FEEL THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU ARE UNABLE TO STOP THE SEAT FROM FLYING YOU FORWARD. THE LOCKING MECHANISM SHOULD NEVER BREAK. THE CHEVROLET DEALER CALLS THIS A SEAT ADJUSTER, BUT IS A PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT HAS THE LOCKING PIN IN IT. A PIECE OF PLASTIC TO HOLD A SEAT IN ITS PLACE IS TOTALLY STUPID. *TT

ABS CONTROL MODULE CONTINUED TO RUN AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION. I PULLED THE 60 AMP FUSE. 1999 CHEVROLET EXTENDED CAB Z71 ONLY HAS 56,400 MILES AT TIME OF OCCURRENCE. *NLM

1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 PICK UP TRUCK. *NLM

1999 SILVERADO ABS MODULE FAILED AT 64,000 MILES. *JB

ABS MODULE KEPT RUNNING AT ALL TIMES, EVEN WITH IGNITION OFF. DEALER DID DIAGNOSTIC AND DETERMINED ABS MODULE FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A RIDICULOUS COST OF $1000. WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. *JB

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK WHILE DRIVING. THE PEDAL WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. RELATED INVESTIGATION EA-02-015. *JB

BRAKES WORKING IMPROPERLY CAUSING DAMAGE TO ROTORS. BRAKE PADS NOT WORN, BUT ROTORS CHEWED UP AND PEELING APART. INSIDE SURFACE OF FRONT ROTORS FLAKED AND SCALED OFF IN LARGE SECTIONS. 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH 44,900 MILEAGE. AFTER NEW ROTORS CALIPER AND BRAKE PADS INSTALLED, BRAKES BEGIN GRABBING AND VIBRATING. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER WHO DID ADDITIONAL RESURFACING OF NEW FRONT ROTORS, REMOVED AND REPLACED FRONT WHEEL SENSOR. MECHANICS REVEALED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS ON THESE VEHICLES, BUT GM HAS DONE NOTHING AS YET. *NLM

WHILE BRAKING THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE. *NLM

THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT THE ABS MODULE FAILED. *NLM

MY 1999 4X4 AUTOMATIC WITH ABS AS I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION I HEARD A HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE ABS PUMP MOTOR, IT CONTINUED TO HUM UNTIL I REMOVED THE FUSE SO AS NOT TO RUN DOWN THE BATTERY. A BUDDY SAID GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WILL DO NOTHING. I NEED A NEW CONTROL MODULE THAT WILL COST BETWEEN $500 AND $900. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 44000 ON IT. *JB

HAD PRIOR ISSUES REGARDING BRAKING; NOW THE ABS LIGHT CAME/STAYS ON AND WAS ADVISED BY THE GM SERVICE MANAGER THAT I AM STUCK WITH THE 995.00 BILL IF I CHOOSE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED/REPLACED, OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT SINCE "IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE." IT SEEMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. *NLM

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR AN ANALYSIS. *JB

THE ABS MODULE FAILED. MR SCC *JB

THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH IS GOING BAD IN MY TRUCK AND I REALLY NEVER USE THE SWITCH. HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL , WILL CHEVY TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM? ALSO THE PULLEY OR COMPRESSOR FOR THE HEATING AND AIR MAKES A NOISE WHEN I USE THE AIR SYSTEM IN MY TRUCK. I OWN A 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO Z71, AND I FEEL CHEVY SHOULD HELP ME OUT AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS. ALSO THE FOG LIGHTS HAVE NEVER WORKED ON THE TRUCK AND DANIELS WOULD NOT FIX THEM FOR ME. *JB

THE ABS MODULE HAS GONE OUT AND WILL COST $100 TO GET FIXED. THERE IS NO RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT NO ONE HAS DIED YET. I GUESS THE CONCEPT HERE IS THE POPULATION IS EXPENDABLE AND GM CAN PRODUCE LOW QUALITY PARTS. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALWAYS PREFERRED CHEVROLET TRUCKS, BUT I HAVE CHANGED MY MIND BECAUSE OF THIS AND ANOTHER INCIDENT. *JB

ABS MOTOR KEEPS RUNNING AFTER ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. *NLM

ABS PUMP WONT SHUT OFF, CAUSED A DEAD BATTERY WHICH IN TURN CAUSED ME TO BE LATE FOR WORK ON A VERY IMPORTANT DAY AT WORK WHICH CAUSED ME TO BE TRANSFERRED. I WENT TO CHEVY DEALER AND THEY SAID AROUND $1000 TO FIX OR TO PULL THE FUSE. I PULLED THE FUSE BUT I NOW HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH 2 LIGHTS LIT ON MY DASHBOARD AT ALL TIMES. MY NEXT VEHICLE WILL BE A TOYOTA!!! *JB

FRONT DRIVERS SEAT WILL NOT SLIDE ALL THE WAY BACK AFTER YOU HAVE TILTED IT FORWARD AND PUT IT BACK. IT SEEMS TO HANG AND NOT MOVE BACKWARD UNTIL YOU PLAY AROUND WITH IT. THEN THE SEAT WILL NOT LOCK IN PLACE WHEN YOU MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT, THEN YOU HAVE TO KIND OF FORCE IT INTO A LOCKED POSITION. ALSO THE SEAT RAIL HAS LOOSENESS IN IT. IT FAILS EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A SEAT ADJUSTMENT. *JB

ANT-LOCK PUMP THAT MAKE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WORK WAS PUMPING ALL THE TIME, RUNNING DOWN THE BATTERY HAD TO PULL OUT FUSE TO MAKE IT STOP. WENT TO DEALER THEY SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND $1250.00 TO FIX. MY Z-71 IS 1999 WITH ONLY 60121 MILES.

ABS MOTOR FAILED, WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $1300. TO FIX. WAS ABLE TO REMOVE FUSE AND CONTINUE DRIVING WITHOUT ABS. *NLM

THE SBS LIGHT CAME ON. THE SBS MODULATOR UNDER THE FRAME STARTED RUNNING AND EVEN RAN AFTER THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN. ALSO THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT REMAINES ON IN THE DASBOARD I PULLED A FUSE TO SHUT IT DOWN.

THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN IDLE. *JB

APPARENT ABS FAILURE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 4WD PICKUP. SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE LAST FOUR YEARS (AT LEAST 5 DISTINCT TIMES I RECALL), THE ABS SEEMED TO FAIL. ALL THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS ATTEMPTING TO STOP RAPIDLY ON A ROUGH/BUMPY ROAD. THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME EACH TIME: AFTER STARTING TO BRAKE NORMALLY, THE BRAKE PEDAL DROPS A BIT AND THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE FOR A FEW MOMENTS (A SECOND OR TWO AT MOST) ALONG WITH SOME SIGNIFICANT RESISTANCE TO THE PRESSURE OF MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL, THEN THE RESISTANCE AND THE GRINDING DISAPPEAR, AND I LOSE THE POWER BRAKES. IF I LIFT MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND PRESS DOWN AGAIN, THE POWER BRAKES ARE RESTORED. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED (APRIL 6), I NEARLY REAR-ENDED SOMEONE AT A STOP LIGHT. I HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM TO MULTIPLE DEALER MECHANICS, BUT THEY HAVE ALL STATED THAT THIS IS THE NORMAL WAY FOR ABS TO WORK. AFTER THE LAST INCIDENT, I REMOVED THE ABS FUSE. *JB

1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. ABS MOTOR RUNS CONTINUOUS EVEN AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE TRUCK. REMOVED FUSE TO SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM. I AM TOLD BY DEALERSHIP, NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. REPAIR PART ALONE WILL COST OVER $800. I DON'T THINK THIS TYPE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT SHOULD FAIL AT 49,000 MILES. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR REPAIRS. THIS UNFORESEEN FAILURE DECREASES THE SAFETY AND THE VALUE OF MY INVESTMENT. *NLM

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK. *NLM

AT LESS THAN 50,000 MILES, I EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF ELECTRONIC ABS CONTROL MODULE. GOT OUT OF VEHICLE AND NOTICED THERE WAS THE SOUND OF AN ELECTRIC MOTOR RUNNING EVEN AFTER THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. UNDER THE TRUCK I DISCONNECTED THE ABS MODULE WIRING HARNESS. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED TO JUST PULL THE 60 AMP FUSE AND LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM. FOUND OUT THAT IT IS OVER $1,000 TO HAVE FIXED. DEALER INDICATED THERE WERE NUMEROUS FAILURES BUT CHEVROLET WON'T AUTHORIZE REPAIR WHEN OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS THE LAST GM PRODUCT I WILL OWN. *NLM

AT APPROXIMATELY 38,000 MILES, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING OCCASIONAL HUMMING NOISES AND LOCK UP OF MY ABS BRAKES. AT 42,000 MILES MY ABS BRAKES WENT OFF WHILE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION IN THE RAIN AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. I WAS FORCED TO REMOVE THE FUSE FOR THE ABS TO SHUTOFF THE PUMP AND THEREFORE NO LONGER HAVE SAFETY BENEFIT OF ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. I HAVE SIX OTHER FRIENDS WHO HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS UNDER SIMILAR WEATHER CONDITIONS. IF THIS IS AS COMMON A PROBLEM AS IT APPEARS TO BE, WHY HASN'T THE NHTSA GONE AFTER CHEVROLET TO FIX THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING PROBLEM. I'M SURE A SURVEY OF CHEVROLET OWNERS WOULD PROVIDE A WEALTH OF INFORMATION AS TO THE EXTENT OF THIS PROBLEM. BC *NLM

WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKES MADE NOISE AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED EXTEND STOPPING DISTANCE. *NLM
