THE ABS MOTOR FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE MOTOR ITSELF COSTS ALMOST $800. MORE THAN 90% OF MY MILES ARE HIGHWAY MILES. AT MY 40,000 MILE BRAKE CHECK, THE TECHNICIAN SAID I WAS ONLY 30% INTO MY ORIGINAL BRAKE PADS. I HAVE HEARD OF NUMEROUS FAILURES OF THIS COMPONENT FROM OTHER SILVERADO OWNERS. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE OF THIS TRUCK AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER. MY BRAKE WARNING SYSTEM IS NOW DISABLED UNTIL THIS ABS MOTOR IS REPLACED.*AK

WIPER BLADES FAILED. DRIVER?S SEAT WOULD NOT MOVE DUE TO SEAT ADJUSTER FAILURE. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON BECAUSE THE ABS MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE. TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING. THE BATTERY WAS LEAKING AND WAS REPLACED. THE COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO A LEAKING WATER PUMP. *YH

I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED ABOVE. WHEN THEY HOOKED THE COMPUTER UP TO MY TRUCK IT SHOWED 2 PROBLEMS. ONE IS THAT THE EGR VALVE IS BAD AND THE OTHER BEING THE CATALYTICD CONVERTER. THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE ME $275 + TAX. THAT IS WITH 1 1/2 LABOR.*AK

THIS IS THE SECOND TIRE OF THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT THE RUBBER HAS SEPERATED FROM THE CORD ON THIS VECHICLE. THESE WERE NOT ANY OF THE TIRES LISTED ON RECALL BUT HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ME TO DEAL WITH. THE FIRST WAS REPLACED BEFORE THE RECALL WAS MADE ON ANY OF THE TIRES AND THAT IS DOCUMENTED FOR REPLACEMENT. THE SECOND TIRE THAT SEPARATED RUBBER WAS ON 02-03-02. IS IT POSSIBLE THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR TIRE ALSO. I WANTED TO REPORT IT SO THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF DOCUMENTATION IF THERE IS A FAILURE IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THIS TYPE AND MODEL OF TIRE. I HAVE LOST CREDIBILITY FOR SAFETY IN FIRESTONE TIRES AT THIS POINT AND INTEND TO REMOVE THEM ALL FROM MY VEHICLE ASAP. THANK YOU FOR ANY INFORMATION OR ASSISTANCE THAT YOU MAY OFFER. (DOT NUMBER: W273 TIRESIZE: P265/R7516)

STEERING COLUMN POPS OUT OF SHAFT WHICH MAKES VEHICLE WOBBLY WHEN DRIVING DUE TO MALFUNCTION OF INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN SHAFT, AND GEAR BOX COMING OUT OF VEHICLE. DEALER CONTACTED.*AK

VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK

WHILE COMING TO A STOP FROM 10MPH ABS MOTOR CAME ON AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN IGNITION KEY IS SHUT OFF. REMOVED FUSE AND NOW HAVE TWO WARNING LIGHTS. CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED THIS WAS AN UNHEARD OF FAILURE. AFTER READING OTHER REPORTS ON YOUR WEBSITE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE. WITH AS MANY FAILURES AS YOU HAVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPAIRS DONE AT MANUFACTURES EXPENSE.

DRIVERS SEAT FAILED TO LOCK INTO POSITION, THIS WAS SECOND OCCURRENCE. WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, DRIVER WAS THRUST AGAINST STEERING WHEEL HITTING CHEST AND FACE AND INJURING WRIST, KNEES HIT THE DASH, SEAT RAN ONTO LEFT FOOT. SEATBELTS DO NOT HELP AS THEY ARE ATTACHED TO THE SEAT. WHEN DRIVING, SEAT SLIDES FORWARD AND BACKWARD FREELY. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE SEAT SLIDES FORWARD, CAUSING THE FOOT TO HIT THE BRAKES HARDER, THEREBY CAUSING AN ABRUPT STOP. LUCKILY MY CHILDREN WHO WERE PASSENGERS AT THE TIME HAD THEIR SEATBELTS ON OR THEY WOULD HAVE HIT THE DASH. MOST VEHICLES NEVER HAVE THIS OCCUR IN THEIR LIFETIME, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A YEAR AND A HALF. FIRST TIME WAS AUGUST OF 2000. COST TO REPLACE IS OVER $500. I FEEL THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN OPERATING, ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPING. THE SEATBELTS DON'T HELP AS THEY ARE ATTACHED TO THE SEAT. MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME IS IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT THESE BRACKETS WILL NOT HOLD!!! I AM A 120 POUND WOMAN, I DO NOT ADJUST THE SEAT OFTEN, I KEEP IT POSITIONED ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK. MY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR COULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THESE RAILINGS TO BREAK. I HAVE CHILDREN WHO WILL BE COMING OF AGE TO DRIVE. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO A LESS EXPERIENCE DRIVER? WHAT IF PASSENGERS DIDN'T HAVE SEATBELTS ON? WHAT IF I WAS HAULING A TRAILER? WHAT OF THE FORCE OF THE ADDED WEIGHT OF THE TRAILER WHEN STOPPING? WHAT OF THE CONTENTS ON THAT TRAILER? WHAT IF I HAVE A MINOR ACCIDEN

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND APPLYING THE BRAKE THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED. BRAKES LOCKED UP, AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER INSPECTED VEHICLE, AND DETERMINED ABS SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*AK

I UNDERSTAND FROM READING THAT THESE ABS MODULES GO OUT OFTEN. ANYTHING RELATING TO THE BRAKES WOULD SEEM TO BE A SAFTEY ISSUE. NOT TO MENTION THAT THE PART ITSELF IS OVER $700.00 AT THE DEALER WHICH IS THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN GET IT. THE LOCATION SEEMS TO BE A PRIME PLACE FOR WATER TO LEAK INSIDE THE MODULE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING A MALFUNCTION OCCURS WITHIN INSTRUMENT PANEL WHICH CAUSES GAUGES TO OPERATE ERRATICALLY. WHEN THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS DRIVER CANNOT DETERMINE FUNCTIONS OF VEHICLE. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED 4-5 TIMES. WHEN APPLIED, BRAKE HOLDS VEHICLE, BUT PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. ALSO, DEALER REPLACED BRAKE PADS. *AK DAYTIME RUNNING BULB BLEW OUT AFTER IT HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED. REAR WINDOW ASSEMBLY WAS LEAKING, POWER WINDOW WAS SLOW GOING UP. TRANSFER CASE WAS REPLACED DUE TO A CLUNK NOISE, TRANSAXLE SHAFT REPLACED DUE TO LEAKING. FRONT BRAKE HOSE EXPERIENCED AN ABRASION. VEHICLE WAS LEANING, DEALER ADJUSTED FRONT TORSION BAR. *JB

WHEN TURNING ENGINE OFF ABS MOTOR CONTINUES TO RUN. WHILE APPLYING BRAKES ABS FAILS, AND WHEELS LOKS UP. PLEASE ADD VIN.*AK

VEHICLE EXHIBITING ANTILOCK BRAKE MODULE AND ANTILOCK BRAKE VALVE FAILURE. *TT

TRYING TO EASE FORWARD IN BUMPER-TO-BUMPER TRAFFIC, ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RIGID. UPON PUTTING MORE PRESSURE, TRUCK LURCHED FORWARD HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE'S BUMPER. I'VE NOTICED THIS MALFUNCTION SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE 3 YR. LEASE, BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN IN DANGEROUS SITUATION, THUS I HAVE NOT CONTACTED DEALER BEFORE THIS INCIDENT.*AK

I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK WHICH I PURCHASED USED IN MARCH 2000, WITH 13,000 MILES ON IT INTO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR END MAKING A CLUNKING SOUND UPON SHIFTING AND STARTING FROM A COASTING POSITION. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, THE SECOND TIME I HAD THE SERVICE MANAGER RIDE WITH ME AND HE HEARD THE PROBLEM, THEY PERFORMED MAINTENANCE AS DELINEATED IN A SERVICE BULLETIN COVERING CHANGING THE OIL IN THE REAR END. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE IN THE LAST 6,000 MILES. I HAD ANOTHER GM MECHANIC LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND HE INDICATED THAT THE REAR END WAS NOT PROPERLY SET UP AT THE POINT OF MANUFACTURE AND TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER AND TELL THEM. THE THIRD TIME I HAD THE TRUCK IN FOR THIS PROBLEM, ONCE AGAIN I HAD THE MANAGER RIDE WE ME AND HEAR THE NOISE AGAIN AND AGAIN. THEY LOOKED IT OVER, AND NOT WANTING TO TEAR INTO THE REAR END DISCOUNTED THE PROBLEM AND INHERRENT TO THIS VEHICLE AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM AS DIFFERENTIAL TORQUE SLAP. I AM QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS NOISE, AND THE ISSUE OF WARRANTY COVERAGE. I DONT LIKE HAVING TO GO BACK TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO RESOLVE A PROBLEM AND TOLD THERE IS NONE. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK TO DRIVE NOT SIT IN THE SERVICE BAY. *AK

CONSISTANTLY HAD A PROBLEM IN THE STEERING COLUMN, REPLACED THREE INTERMEDIATE SHAFTS AND A STEERING BOX. STILL A FRICTION/VIBRATION NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEN MOVING AT A SLOWER SPEED, CAUSING A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE.

WITHOUT ANY INDICATION, FRONT END OF VEHICLE LOCKED UP, CAUSING CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE. DEALER WAS CONTACTED, AND STATED THAT SUBFRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK *NLM THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WAS TORQUED SIDEWAYS AND BROKEN APART, CAUSING THE FRAME TO HAVE 2 BREAKS, THIS CAUSED THE FRONT TO LOCK UP, ALSO PRIOR TO THIS CONSUMER COMPLAINED OF A DELAY BETWEEN THE FORWARD AND REVERSE, WHEN A BUMP WAS FELT WHEN ACCELERATING, CONSUMER ALSO HEARD A CLUNK NOISE, DEALER DRAINED AND REPLACED THE TRANSFER CASE FLUID TWICE. THE ENGINE SPUTTERS IN 4 WHEEL LOW AND THERE IS A WHINE NOISE OR PULLEY NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. THE FRONT SEAT ARM REST FELL OFF. THE LEFT FRONT DAYTIME LAMP WAS FULL OF WATER DUE TO THE ASSEMBLY BEING IMPROPERLY SEALED AT THE FACTORY. THE BRAKES PULSATED AND PEDAL FELT SOFT, DEALER STATED THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER WAS STICKING AND THE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS WERE CORRODED BADLY, CAUSING THE BRAKE PADS TO WEAR. THE ELECTRIC BRAKE WAS INOPERABLE, DEALER INSTALLED A NEW PLUG, THE WIRING HARNESS WAS BADLY DAMAGED. THE POWER WINDOWS WERE INOPERABLE. THE LEFT DOOR CREAKS DUE TO FRONT DOOR LINK BEING LOOSE. CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO SIGN A WAIVER BECAUSE OF THE PLOW BEING PLACED ONTO THE EXTENDED CAB, THIS WAS BECAUSE THE INSTALLATION WAS NOT RECOMMENDED, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THIS UNTIL AFTER THE INSTALLATION AND THE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. *SLC

WHILE DRIVING HOME, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON IN MY DASHBOARD. I PULLED OVER AND THERE WAS A LOUD BUZZING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK. THIS IS THE ABS PUMP RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY. AFTER DRIVING HOME (1 MILE FROM WHERE THE LIGHT CAME ON) I TURNED OFF MY TRUCK. THE NOISE CONTINUED TO RUN. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TERMINAL AND THE NOISE STOPPED. I HAVE CONTACTED GM CONCERNING THIS AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY HELP THUS FAR. IT CONCERNS ME THAT A MAJOR COMPONENT OF MY BRAKE SYSTEM WOULD FAIL AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS HAD THE ROADS BEEN SNOW OR ICE COVERED. PLEASE HELP ME IN THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS THAT HAVE POSTED THEIR PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE BY GM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I AM NOT CURRENTLY DRIVING MY TRUCK UNTIL I HEAR SOMETHING STATING THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE WITH A MALFUNCTIONING BRAKE SYSTEM.*AK

PUMP MOTOR RELAY IN EBCM SHORTED CAUSING PUMP MOTOR TO REMAIN ON. NEEDS EBCM, DIAGNOSED BY GINN MOTOR CO. ON 1-21-02 (NO PROBLEM WITH THEM, FINE FOLKS). THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DESIGN ERROR. THIS MODULE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN PLACED IN THE WHEEL WELL AREA WHERE IT ISN'T PROTECTED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THESE FAILURES ON VARIOUS INTERNET SITES AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. COST TO REPAIR THIS IS $951.50, NOT INCLUDING THE $72 DIAGNOSIS I PAID. I DECLINED REPAIR AND WILL DRIVE WITHOUT ABS. CONTACTED CHEVY ONCE TODAY....OF MANY MORE TO FOLLOW. OK , CHEVROLET... YOUR TURN... ARE YOU COMMITED TO MAKING THE MOST DEPENDABLE, LONGEST LASTING TRUCKS? *AK

ABS LIGHT STAYS ON. CONSUMER LIFTED HOOD AND NOTICED ABS PUMP IS RUNNING. CAUSE UNKNOWN. *AK THE ABS CONTROL MODULE FAILED DUE TO LOOSE OR WORN OUT SEAL, WHICH THE MODULE WAS MOUNTED. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE ABS CONTROL MODULE IS LOCATED UNDER THE TRUCK AND MOUNTED TO THE FRAME, THIS WAS SUBJECT TO WATER AFTER THE SEAL CAME LOOSE, CAUSING IT TO FAIL. *YH

WHEN STARTING VEHICLE, CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD NOISE UNDER THE TRUCK, AND THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, BUT NOISE CONTINUED, CONSEUMR WAS INFORMED BY A MECHANIC THAT THE ABS SYSTEM WAS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. *AK*YD

VEHICLE WAS DRIVING FOR 85 MILES THEN PARKED FOR ABOUT 7 HOUR, WHEN VEHICLE WAS STARTED THE ABS WARNING LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER ITS SELF TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS TURN OFF AND ON THREE TIMES AND THE LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE ABS HYDRAULIC PUMP CONTINUE TO RUN EVEN WHEN VEHICLE ENGINE WAS OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING FOR ABOUT 1 MILE TO THE NEAREST MOTEL AND THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY WAS DEAD THE FOLLOWING MORNING CAUSED BY THE HYD. MOTOR RUNNING THE BATTERY DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING BACK HOME AFTER IT WAS DETERMINE BY DRIVER AND THE AAA REPRESENTATIVE THAT JUMP START THE TRUCK IT WOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE WITH LIGHT ON. TRUCK DRIVEN BACK HOME ABOUT 85 MILES AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE WITH THE ABS MOTOR 60 AMP FUSE REMOVED TO STOP THE MOTOR FROM RUNNING. VEHICLE TAKEN TO SALBURRY CHEVROLET FOR SERVICE AND HAD THE ABS ELECTRONIC MODULE REPLACED AT A $978.00 COST. WAS INFORMED BY SERVICEMAN THAT HE HAS REPLACED 4 OF THESE MODULES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS. I HAVE NOTICE THAT YOU HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN # SB618187 OUT ON THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THESE HYDRAULIC MOTORS. ANY FOLLOW UP YOU COULD GIVE ME ON THIS ISSUE WOULD BE APPRECIATED, SINCE THE VEHICLE IS ONLY A COUPLE YEARS OLD AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RE-CALL ON THIS ITEM COME OUT. THANK YOU. *AK

INTERMITTENTLY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE MOTOR STARTS TO RUN. EVEN WHEN TURNING VEHICLE OFF MOTOR TO ABS IS STILL RUNNING. THIS COULD CAUSE BRAKES TO LOCK UP AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

CONSUMER HEARD A WINNING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH OF VEHICLE. NOISE WAS COMING FROM ABS BRAKING SYSTEM PUMP. CONSUMER UNPLUGED IT BECAUSE OF WEAR ON BATTERY, DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK

WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE ABS PUMP CAME ON AND STAYED ON. EVEN AFTER I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THUS, THE ONLY WAY TO RECTIFY IT WAS TO UNPLUG THE ABS. IN RESEARCHING FURTHER, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALL THE 1999 SILVERADOS. WHAT CAN I DO OTHER THAN SHELL OUT $1,000 TO HAVE THE PUMP REPLACED? SHOULDN'T CHEVROLET ADDRESS THIS?

ANTI-LOCK MOTOR MODULE FAILS, CAUSING MOTOR TO RUN CONSTANTLY EVEN WHEN IGNITION IS OFF CAUSING DANGER OF FIRE. CONTACTED DEALER, AND WAS TOLD IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO HIGH FAILURE RATE. SEVERAL CHEVROLET TRUCK FORUMS ON THE INTERNET ALSO REVEALED A COMMON FAILURE. REPAIR COST ARE $800.00-$900.00 AND IT APPEARS MANY OWNERS ARE SIMPLY PULLING THE 60 AMP. FUSE AND DRIVING VEHICLES IN THIS CONDITION. *AK

ANTI-LOCK MOTOR MODULE CONTINUED TO RUN WITH IGNITION OFF. HAD TO UNPLUG. MOTOR GOT EXTREMELY HOT BEFORE I COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND SINCE IT IS LOCATED NEXT TO THE GASOLINE FUEL FILTER IT CAN VERY DANGEROUS. MY CONCERN NOW IS THAT I HAVE A VEHICLE WITHOUT ANTI-LOCK BRAKES BECAUSE AT $800 -$1000 DOLLARS HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN RUSH RIGHT OUT AND REPLACE SOMETHING THAT EXPENSIVE. WHEN A FIRE OCCURS FROM THE EXCESSIVE HEAT BUILD UP SOMEONE WILL GET HURT. WHY SHOULD GM OR NHTSA WAIT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. *AK

ABS PUMP WAS ENERGIZED WHEN I STARTED VEHICLE AND CONTINUED TO RUN EVEN AFTER I TURNED OFF THE KEY. ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO STOP PUMP WAS BY REMOVING ABS FUSE, CAUSING MY ABS SYSTEM TO NO LONGER BE ACTIVE. CHEVROLET SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. ALSO FUEL GAUGE WILL INTERMITTENTLY REGISTER NO FUEL AFTER FILLING UP AND WHILE RIDING EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL.*AK

BRAKES HAVE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR SEVERAL TIMES ON THE FIRST OCCASION PEDAL WENT ALL THE TO THE FLOOR CAUSING MY TRUCK TO REAR END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AT A SPEAD OF 15MPH I HAD NO WAY OF STOPING THE TRUCK AND COULD NOT AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEB SITE AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS I WONDER MIGHT YOU DO SOMETHING OR IS GENERAL MOTORS MORE POWERFULL THEN YOU.*AK

THE ABS CONTROL UNIT CAUSES THE PUMP MOTOR TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY, EVEN WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. DEALER ANDY MOHR CHEVROLET IN PLAINFIELD VERIFIED THIS IS THE PROBLEM, AND INDICATED THAT THEY ARE REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM WEEKLY. I KNOW OF SEVERAL OTHER 1999 SILVERADOS WITH SAME PROBLEM THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE ABS SYSTEM IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND A RECALL SHOULD BE INITIATED IMMEDIATELY.*AK
