UPON LEAVING PARKING SPOT. THE ABS LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE ABS UNIT STARTED TO RUN AS IF STOPPING ON A SLIPPERY SURFACE. STOPPING AND SHUTTING OFF THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP THE ABS UNIT AND IT CONTINUED TO RUN. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT TO STOP WAS BY PULLING THE 60 AMP FUSE UNDER THE HOOD.*AK

I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 287 NORTH AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN I FELT RATTLING AND MY VEHICLE STARTING SHAKING. MOMENTS LATER, THE TIRE EXPLODED. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW SECONDS, WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL AND MOVE THE VEHICLE SAFELY ON TO THE SHOULDER. THE SIDEWALLS REMAINED ON THE RIM, HOWEVER THE ENTIRE TREAD SEPARATED.*AK

IN MY RESEARCH OF 1999 CHEVROLET, SILVERADOS, ALL OWNERS I HAVE CONTACTED HAVE HAD THIS COMPONENT FAIL. CHEVROLET HAS CHOSEN TO REPLACE THIS DEVICE AT THEIR COST ALL OF THEM. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE UNDER WARRANTY, SOME WERE NOT. MINE WAS NOT REPLACED DUE TO THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. THE ABS IS A SAFETY DEVICE AND THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM SINCE EVERYONE I KNOW - THIS IS GREATER THAN 10 OWNERS - HAVE HAD THIS DEVICE FAIL. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE 1999 CHEVROLET'S SILVERADOS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.*AK

FUEL THROTTLE LINKAGE STICKS WHEN PRESSING DOWN ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LUNGE FORWARD WHEN GAS PEDAL RELEASES. MUST PRESS HARD ON GAS PEDAL TO GET IT TRUCK TO GO FORWARD.

PARKING BRAKE SHOES WORN OUT PREMATURELY. PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD TRUCK. SERVICE MANAGER AT DEALERSHIP AND SEVERAL AUTO PARTS STORE PERSONNEL AGREE THAT THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON AND THAT THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT. GM DETROIT SAYS NO SPECIAL PROGRAMS AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A GRAVEL ROAD AT 40 MPH (70 DEGREES, 2 ADULTS, 1 CHILD IN VEHICLE, NO OTHER LOAD IN TRUCK) THE INSIDE SIDEWALL EXPLODED ON DRIVER REAR CAUSING REAR OF TRUCK TO SWAY. TRUCK WAS UNDER CONTROL UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO STOP. THERE WAS AN L SHAPE TEAR NEAR THE TREAD RUNNING PERPENDICULAR THROUGH THE SIDEWALL. THIS TEAR WAS AT AN ALMOST PERFECT 90-DEGREE ANGLE. TIRE WILL REMAIN IN MY CUSTODY FOR INSPECTION UNTIL I AM SATISFIED WITH OUTCOME.*AK

THROTTLE CABLE STICKS. ALSO, WHEN CRANKING VEHICLE AND PLACING INTO GEAR IT IS DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE VEHICLE PAST BRAKING POINT.*AK

ABS PUMP UNGER DRIVERS SIDE RUNS WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED ON OR OFF. I HAVE FOUND A NUMBER A PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK

THIS IS A 1/2 TON SERIES, BRAKE COMPLAINT RELATES TO ABS BRAKES FAILING, LOSING POWER ON A DRY SURFACE. ALSO ABS RUNS WHEN TRUCK IS OFF. OWNER INDICATED THAT HE HAD TO PULL A WIRE ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM. *AK CONSUMER STATED THE ABS MODULE SHORTED OUT.*JB

AFTER STARTING VEHICLE ABS BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. TURNED VEHICLE OFF, AND ABS BRAKE MOTOR KEPT RUNNING. DEALER CONTACTED.*AK

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DO NOT WORK WHEN APPLIED. CONTACTED DEALER.*AK

TIRE BLOW OUT ON INTERSTATE. THE TREAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE AND DRIVER LOST CONTROL BUT REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP ON THE LEFT SHOULDER. OWNER STILL HAS THE TIRE AND SEPARATED PARTS. THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO THE PICKUP TRUCK WHEN THE TREAD OF THE TIRE HIT THE WHEEL WELL. CHROME WAS TORN AND BENT, THE WHEEL WELL LINER WAS RIPPED OFF AND THE BUMPER WAS DAMAGED.*AK

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PUMP, A MAJOR COMPONET, OF THE ABS SYSTEM, CONTINUES TO RUN CONSTANTLY. THIS CAUSES A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. THE PUMP MUST BE DISCONNECTED TO PREVENT BATTERY DRAIN. DISCONNECTING DISABLES THE ANIT-LOCK SYSTEM. AT ONLY 22,000 MILES THIS IS OBSCENE! DEALER REFUSES TO PAY FOR REPAIR.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY THROTTLE WILL STICK WHEN ACCELERATING. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

ABS MOTOR WOULD REMAIN RUNNING EVEN AFTER VEHICLE WAS SWITCHED OFF. DEALER CONTACTED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

TURNED TRUCK ON THIS MORNING AND ABS LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. SHUT TRUCK OFF AND THE ABS "COMPRESSOR" STAYS ON. CONTACTED LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM - NO RECALLS, NO RESOLVE EXCEPT TO REPLACE UNIT FOR MORE THAN $400 + LABOR. ABS HAS ALWAYS REACTED UNEXPECTEDLY ON UNEVEN ROADS(BUMPS OR RAILROAD TRACKS) AND INCONSISTENTLY ON WET SURFACES (SOMETIMES GRABBING THE ROAD, OTHER TIMES FREE WHEELING).*AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW WOULD NOT CLOSE DUE TO A FAULTY REGULATOR. *SLC

WHILE UNDER WARRANTY I COMPLAINED TO DEALER THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WERE TO SENSITIVE AND WOULD ENGAGE WHILE BRAKING ON THE SLIGHTEST BUMP, LENGHTENING THE STOPPING DISTANCE. OF COURSE THEY NEVER CAN DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NOW WITH 41000 MILES, I START THE TRUCK AND THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON. I GET HOME AND HEAR A NOISE FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY OFF. I HAD TO UNPLUG THE ABS PUMP TO SHUT IT OFF. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THE COST OF THE UNIT ALONE IS $780. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I'VE FOUND THE NUMBER OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURES ARE ASTOUNDING!! THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS FAILURE, ABS HAS BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 15 YEARS NOW. GM KNOWS THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THEIR ABS BRAKING SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL & FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!! ANYONE WHO HAS PAID FOR THIS SHOULD BE RE-INBURSED FOR THEIR EXPENSE. THIS FAILURE SEEMS TO HAPPEN AROUND THE 40,000 MILE MARK JUST AFTER THE WARRANY HAS EXPIRED.

00 V 345 000/BRAKE LINE CHAFFING: RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LINE WAS RUBBING AGAINT WHEEL AND CAUSING BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED AT THIS TIME.*AK

THE EBCM OF THE ABS SHORTED CAUSING THE ELECTRIC PUMP MOTOR TO RUN CONTINOUSLY. THERE ARE ONLY TWO METHODS TO DISCONTINUE ITS OPERATION, ONE IS TO PULL THE 60 AMP FUSE UNDER THE HOOD, THE OTHER IS TO DISCONNECT THE CONNECTOR AT THE MODULE, UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE LOCATED AN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION ON THE 1999 SILVERADO ABS FAILURE. IT APPEARS TO MOST COMMON BETWEEN 30K-60K MILES. THE MANUFACTURE HAS INTRODUCED A NEW PART NUMBER FOR ITS REPLACEMENT WHILE CONTENDING THERE IS NO ISSUE. THE REPLCEMENT COST IS APPROXIMATELY $1000., WHILE THE ACTUAL DEALER PURCHASE PRICE FOR THE PART IS $386., IT APPEARS TO CREATE REVENUE. WHILE THERE MAY BE NO SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, I BELIEVE THERE IS ENOUGH INCIDENTS TO CLASSIFY AS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT.*AK

WHEN BRAKING ON A ROUGH SURFACE/ BUMPS OR POT HOLES BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAVE BEEN CONTACTED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO CORRECTIONS AT THIS TIME. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AKI

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS AT REST AND HAS TO BE PUSHED VERY HARD TO BREAK IT LOOSE; THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD. I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME YEAR AND MODEL TRUCK AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED MY DEALER TO SEE IF A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED ON THIS AND WAS TOLD NO. A TECHNICAL BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM (THE DEALER DIDN'T TELL ME THIS) AND I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL RATHER THAN A BULLETIN.*AK

CONSUMER NOTICED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKING PERIODICALLY AND THOUGHT MAYBE THE FLOOR MAT WAS IN THE WAY, HOWEVER HE NOTICED THAT DID NOT HELP AND IT BECAME WORSE AND WOULD STICK WHEN IN TRAFFIC, CONSUMER DISCOVERD A SERVICE BULLETIN ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER WAS STILL CHARGED, CONSUMER FEELS HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CHARGED SINCE THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.*JB

ABS PUMP CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. ABS LIGHT CONTINUES TO ILLUMINATE. ABS FUSE HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED SO THAT PUMP WOULD NOT OVERHEAT, AND POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK *YH

CONSUMER STATES WHEN STOPPING AND ACTIVATING THE PARK BRAKE, WITH ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WOULD COAST AN INCH OR TWO AND A CLICK COULD BE HEARD AS THE TRANSMISSION POSITIVE LOCK ENGAGED. WITH VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND THE FOOT BRAKE RELEASED, THE PARK BRAKE HAS NO BRAKING EFFECT, ALSO THE PARKING BRAKE FOOT LEVER GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS THE DESIGN OF THE PARKING BRAKE AND THERE IS A SELF ADJUSTING FEATURE. *TT

- ABS PUMP RUNS CONTINUALLY. - HAD TO UNPLUG THE PUMP, AND I NOW HAVE NO ABS BRAKES. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AS LOCAL MECHANICS AND A VAST NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ARE FOUND ON THE INTERNET.GM IS NOT REPAIRING THESE PARTS/RECALLING, EVEN THOUGH A LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES ARE SHOWING THE PROBLEM.*AK

ABS MOTOR CONTINUED TO RUN AFTER THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. *AK
