1999 Chevrolet Silverado complaints

AT LOW SPEEDS THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ON MY 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO (4X4) ACTIVATES FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE BRAKES CONTINUE TO BE UNPREDICTABLE AT LOW SPEEDS. A GARAGE SAID THEY HAD MULTIPLE INQUIRIES ABOUT THIS AND KNEW OF THE PROBLEM WELL. I THINK THIS IS A RECALL ITEM AND GM SHOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE. INCIDENT DATE IS APPROXIMATE FIRST OCCURENCE.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE AT SPEEDS UNDER 10 MPH I WILL HEAR THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES TURN ON AND THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL CANNOT BE DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL ANOTHER 5-10 FEET FURTHER THEN INTENDED. THIS HAS HAPPEND TO AT LEAST 6 OTHER PEOPLE THAT I KNOW WITH THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE. ONE OF THEM A SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT VEHICLE.

DRIVING WITH FAMILY ABS LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE, A PUMP NOISE CONTINUED. THE PUMP CONTINUED TO RUN AND DRAINED OUR BATTERY LEAVING MY FAMILY STRANDED. TOW TRUCK MECHANIC, DISCONNECTED THE PUMP, JUMP STARTED OUR BATTERY, AND WE BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE CHEVY DEALER. DEALER SAID IT WAS THE ABS MODULE AND WOULD COST $1100 TO REPAIR! RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THERE WERE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

CONSUMER STATES: CRUISE CONTROL AND TOLL HAUL DIDN'T WORK CORRECTLY, WHEN TURNED OFF CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT OPERATE PROPERLY, IT KEPT ACCELERATING WHEN TOUCHING BRAKES. THE TOLL HAUL COMMAND WAS TELLING THE TRUCK TO DOWN SHIFT.*AK *TT

THERE HAS BEEN A FAILURE BY BREAKAGE IN ONE OF THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES, WHICH COMPLETELY FRACTURED AFTER CORROSION. AS A RESULT OF THIS HAPPENING I OBSERVED THE SECOND SUPPORT CABLE, AND SEE IT IS WEAKENED BY CORRISION, AND WILL FRACTURE THE SAME WAY. THIS BREAKAGE OCCURRED AFTER OPENING THE TRUCK TAILGATE, AND FORTUNATELY OCCURRED BEFORE I WAS GOING TO JUMP INTO THE BOX OF THE TRUCK. BREAKAGE OF THE SECOND CABLE WILL RESULT IN THE TAILGATE DROPPING OFF, CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURY.

ABS FAILURE IN MY 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO, ABS MOTOR RUNS CONSTANTLY WEATHER TRUCK IS RUNNING OR NOT. PULLED 60AMP FUSE TO STOP MOTOR, SO NOW THIS VEHICLE HAS NO ANTILOCK BRAKES

DT: ABS BRAKES WENT OUT 20,000 MILES AND THIS AGAIN OCCURRED AT 45,000 MILES. THIS OCCURRED AT LOW SPEEDS BUT HAPPENED ONCE AT HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. TOOK TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND THEY SAID THAT SIMPLY THE ABS WAS OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CONSUMER SAW REPORT WHERE GM WAS RECALLING CANADIAN VEHICLES DUE TO THE SALT CONDITIONS AND ITS AFFECT ON THE ABS SYSTEM. OWNER FEELS HIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE HIS STATE USES THE SAME SALT USED IN CANADA. *TT

PARKING BRAKE ON MY TRUCK WORE OUT PREMATURELY CAUSING VEHICLE TO FAIL TEXAS SAFETY INSPECTION. TRUCK IS A 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AND HAD LESS THAN 65,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE FAILED SAFETY INSPECTION. PARKING BRAKE SHOES WERE REPLACED AT A COST OF ABOUT $200. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BY CHEVROLET, BUT IT IS ONLY FOR THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES, NOT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. RECALL NUMBER FOR MANUALS WAS 05V161000

TAILGATE CABLE BROKE COMPLETLY WHILE LOADING A MOWER, DAMAGING MY TAILGATE AND INNER BED HINGES AS WELL AS THE OUTER HINGE ON THE TAILGATE ITSELF. I NOTICED THAT THE 2000 AND UP MODELS WERE RECALLED BUT, MINE WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. MY MODEL IS EXACT TO THE ONES CURRENTLY RECALLED BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST YEAR OF THE NEW STYLE CHANGE-OVER. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME INVESTIGATION AND/OR FEEDBACK. THANK YOU, MIKE IRELAND

ANTI LOCK BRAKES; WHEN GOING SLOWER THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES ENGAGE THEMSELVES. WAS NEVER REPAIRED. MAIN BRAKES, BOTH FRONT AND REAR WERE REPLACED ( PADS AND ROTORS) AFTER AN UNUSUALLY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. *AK LEFT DOOR GLASS WAS INOPERATIVE. TECH REPLACED BROKEN DOOR GLASS REGULATOR. *TT *NM

ABS MOTOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY AFTER TURNING OFF. HAPPENED ON 5/1/05. HAS CONTINUED SINCE FIRST OCCURRENCE. *AK *NM

CONTACT STATED: 2ND TIME THE BRAKES FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE. DURING SECOND INCIDENT AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON 4/6/2005, CONTACT WAS GOING ABOUT 35-40 MPH, THERE WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE LANE, STOPPED, AND ANOTHER VEHICLE STALLED IN THE SAME LANE. CONTACT SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, AND THE BRAKES FAILED. *AK *SC *JB

DT: SINCE 12,000 MILES THE ABS WAS DISCONNECTED BY DEALER BECAUSE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THEY FAILED TO ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEEDS. THERE WAS EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE ALONG WITH VIBRATION. ABS WAS DISCONNECTED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS NOW DRIVEN WITH MANUAL BRAKES ONLY-NO ABS DUE TO THE FAULTY SITUATION THEY PROVIDED, UNABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY DUE TO THE ABS. *AK

DT: 99 CHEVY SILVERADO PICKUP. ABS BRAKE MOTOR OPERATION. DEALER TOLD CONSUMER IT WOULD BE COSTLY TO FIX. THE BRAKES WERE MAKING A HUMMING NOISE AND CONSUMER HAD THE ABS SYSTEM DISCONNECTED. THE NOISE STOPPED, BUT CONSUMER DOES NOT HAVE ABS BRAKES. *TT

THE MOTOR CONTINUED TO RUN AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF. THE DEALER DID NOT COOPERATE UNTIL A RECALL WAS PLACED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED TO START ITSELF BUT IF THE VEHICLE BEGUN TO MOVE, THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO PULL THE ELECTRICAL IMPULSE OR PULL ONE OF THE TWO FUSES THAT WENT WITH THE ABS SYSTEM, AND WOULD MAKE THE VEHICLE STOP. THE OTHER FUSE INDICATED WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CONSUMER HAS HAD OTHER RECALL WORK DONE TO THE VEHICLE IN REFERENCE TO THE TRANSMISSION IN WHICH THEY REPLACED THE DRIVESHAFT. *AK *SC

GM/CHEVROLET LIGHT TRUCK ABS ACTIVATES AT SLOW SPEEDS. AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE ABS ACTIVATES (AUDIBLE) AND DIMINISHES BRAKING REQUIRING INCREASED PEDAL PRESSURE AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE.

DT: ABS ENABLES ITSELF WHEN COMING TO A LOW SPEED STOP. THE ABS MAKES IT HARD TO STOP WHEN IT IS ENABLED. NO ACCIDENTS. NO REPAIRS. A FEW CLOSE CALLS WITH ALMOST HITTING VEHICLES. *AK

LOW SPEED ACTIVATION OF ABS, TRIED TO REMEDY WITH GM DESPITE THEIR AWARENESS OF THE PROBLEM AND A KNOWN DESIGN DEFECT, THEY DECLINED ANY ASSISTANCE IN THE REPAIR

ANTI-LOCK BREAK SYSTEM FAILURE ON MY 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICKUP

DT: DRIVER'S SIDE SAFETY BELT WILL NOT EXTEND SO IT CAN BE USED. WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE REEL. THE OTHER CONCERN WERE THE ABS BRAKES. HAD SITUATIONS WHILE IN TRAFFIC THE ABS ACTIVATED ON THEIR OWN. THIS REMOVES CONTROL FROM THE DRIVER, AND IS STARTLING WHEN IT HAPPENS. THERE IS A VIBRATION FROM THE ABS. TRIED TO CORRRESPOND WITH GM, BUT FEOT CONCERNS HAVE FALLEN ON DEAF EARS. NO REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE AS OF YET. THE SEAT BELT BEGAN TO FAIL ON 1-1-03, AND THE ABS SYSTEM BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION ON 2-10-05. *AK

1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE EQUIPMENT.*MR THE CONSUMER HAD DIFFICULTY BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS. *JB

IN LOW SPEEDS THERE WAS NO STOPPING POWER, AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES SEEMED TO KICK IN. THE CONSUMER STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 5 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER DID FIND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE INTERNET. *AK *SC *JB

THE ABS MALFUNCTIONED. THE SYSTEM ENGAGED WITHOUT CAUSE, RESULTING IN THE SERVICE BRAKES NOT WORKING WHEN DEPRESSED. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE CONSUMER HAS TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE SENSOR ON THE FRONT WHEELS GETS CORRODED, CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO MIS READ. THEREFORE THE SYSTEM INDICATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS ON ICE WHEN IT ISN'T AND THE ABS ENGAGES. THE DEALERSHIP CLEANED THE FRONT WHEEL SENSOR ASSEMBLY. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THERE'S A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BUT ONLY FOR VEHICLES ASSEMBLED IN CANADA. *JB CONSUMER CONCERN WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE ABS SYSTEM WILL ACTIVATE CAUSED BY UNWANTED ABS ACTIVATION. *BF

DT: WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THEY WILL NOT STOP THE CAR; IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME BUT MOST OF THE TIME.*AK

A CLIENT OF MINE, MR. HERMAN KATZEL, SUSTAINED NECK INJURIES WHEN THE TAILGATE STRAPS OF HIS 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500, 33D EXT CAB FAILED.

DT CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF THE ABS MOTOR PUMP CONTINUED TO RUN, WHICH CAUSED THE BATTERY TO RUN DOWN. THE ABS HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED. THE LOCAL SERVICE DEALER STATES THE ABS SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

ABS MODULE FAILED ON MY 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 EXT. CAB TRUCK. THE MODULE STUCK AND KEPT ABS RUNNING TILL I UNPLUGED FUSE. LUCKLY THERE WAS NO ACCDENT. BUT I CHECKED WITH MY DEALER" NO RECALL " SAID THEY HAD REPLACED LOTS OF THESE MODULE. SO I HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACE AT A COST OF $923.00. GUEST THAT IS WHY CHEVROLET HAS NOT RECALLED!!!!

TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK (ANTI-LOCK ACTIVATING) CAUSING LONG STOPPING DISTANCE OR HAD TO STOMP BRAKE PEDDLE SEVERAL TIMES TO GET VEHICLE TO STOP. NO MAJOR ACCIDENTS BUT SECOND TIME I RAN OVER SIDEWALK I TOOK CAR TO SERVICE CENTER (NOT DEALER) AND THEY DISCONNECTED ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY FURTHER TROUBLE. MECHANIC SAID THE BRAKE SENSORS (SPEED SENSORS?) WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED.

DIRIVERS SIDE SEAT FAILED TO STAY LOCKED IN POSITION AND SLID FORWARD WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THIS CAUSE ME TO BE THROWN FOREWARD WITH ALL MY WEIGHT ON THE BRAKE PETAL. IF NOT FOR THE SEAT BELT AND NO ONE FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS.

DT: ABS PROBLEM. COMING DOWN A HILL, THE BRAKE WAS PUSHING BACK, NOT ALLOWING THE BRAKE TO ENGAGE. AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES, IT RE-ENGAGED. *TT DEALER STATED THAT IT WAS THE LEFT ABS SENSOR.

ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES AT LOW SPEEDS, CREATING LONG STOPPING DISTANCES. HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. PULLED FUSE OUT TO OVERRIDE ABS.

ABS PUMP ON MY TRUCK WILL NOT TURN OFF AND WITHOUT ABS THE BRAKE SYSTEM COULD LOCK AND INJURE MANY PEOPLE. THEY SHOULD RECALL THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT

THE ABS SYSTEM WILL TURN ON AROUND 5 MPH EVERY TIME I TRY TO STOP . IT HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES ON .

BRAKE ANTI LOCK MOTOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY HAD TO DISCONNECT MOTOR. NOW THERE IS NO ANTILOCK PROTECTION FOR BRAKES

INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE WHEN BRAKES APPLIED UNDER 10 MPH AND ABS FAILS...MY VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO A CEMENT POLE IN PARKING SPACE CAUSING $1600 DAMAGE...ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AS VEHICLE WAS IN THEIR REPAIR SHOP THE VERY DAY BEFORE FOR EXACT COMPLAINT AND WAS NOT ADDRESSED...SECOND DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY KNEW THE PROBLEM AND CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING FRONT SPEED SENSORS.

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..

ABS MOTOR RUNS CONSTANTLY WITH OR WITHOUT TRUCK RUNNING OR KEY IN IGNITION.

THE ABS ENGAGES AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS IN PARKING LOTS. I HAVE PULLED THE ABS FUSE IN THE FUSE PANEL.

STARTED MY TRUCK ONE DAY AFTER SHOPPING AND A LOUD HUMMING OR BUZZING NOISE WAS COMING FROM UNDER DRIVER SIDE OF THE TRUCK. HAD TO DISCONNECT THE POWER FROM THE ABS MODULE BECAUSE IT WOULD SIT THERE AN RUN WITH THE TRUCK TURNED OFF. TOOK TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE MODIULE WAS BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAD 40,000 MILES AND WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST $1000 TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD MANY OF THESE TRUCKS COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAID IT IS SO COMMON THAT THEY THINK IF I FIXED IT THAT IT PROBABLY WIOULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND THE PART WOULD BE ONLY WARRANTIED FOR ONE YEAR. GM HAS PRODUCED A FAULTLY PART OBIVIOUSLY AND SHOULD FIX IT. NOW I HAVE A $30.000 TRUCK THAT HAS NO ANTI LOCK BRAKES AND A ABS LIGHT AND A EMERGENCY LIGHT ON MY DASH THAT WILL NOT GO OFF UNTIL THE PART IS FIXED.

ABS BRAKES ACTIVATE IN WET WEATHER FOR THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING.

THE ABS SYSTEM ON MY 1999 SILVERADO ACTIVATES AT LOW SPEEDS CAUSING ERATIC BRAKING.

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. THE MECHANIC SAID IS THE ABS LIGHT IS ILUMINATED THEN THE ABS IS NOT OPERATABLE.

MY1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 4WD HAD 48,00 MILES ON IT WHEN PROBLEMS STARTED. IN GOOD WEATHER ON DRY SMOOTH ROADS MY ABS WOULD ENGAGE WHILE I WAS STOPPING OR SLOWING IN A NORMAL MANNER. EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS SOMEWHAT SURPRISING I DID NOT FEEL THAT THE STOPPING DISTANCE WAS BEING COMPROMISED. THEN AN INCIDENT OCCURED WHILE MY WIFE AND I WERE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A RETAIL STORE. AS I WAS TURNING INTO THE PARKING SPACE I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SOLW THE VEHICLE AND IT FELT LIKE I HAD NO BRAKES, THE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PUSH, FELT LIKE IT WOULD NOT MOVE LIKE IT WAS STUCK, AND THERE WAS NO BRAKING ACTION. I IMMEDIATELY BELIEVED THAT I WAS GOING TO STRIKE THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME AND CONTINUED TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH GREATER FORCE. THE RESULT IS THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE MOVED FORWARD AND THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ENGAGED. THE TRUCK STOPPED BEFORE I STRUCK THE OTHER VEHICLE. A GOOD MECHANIC EXPLAINED THAT HIS EXPERIENCE WITH CHEVRY TRUCK ABS THROWING FALSE SIGNALS WAS THAT THE SENSORS WERE PROBABLY DIRTY AND NEEDED CLEANED. AS A SIMPLE CHECK OF THE ABS I REMOVED THE 60 AMP FUSE FOR THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. MY BRAKES WORK VERY WELL NOW AND I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED AND AFTER READING THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION IS NOW CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATION INTO PROBLEMS WITH CHEVROLET TRUCK ANTILOCK BRAKE FAILURES I INTEND TO LEAVE THE SYSTEM AS IT IS NOW UNTIL YOU FINISH YOUR INVESTIGATION. SOME INFORMATION ON MY BACKGROUND.

ANTILOCK BRACK MODULE FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 42,000 MILES.

DT: THE CONSUMER VEHICLE HAD PROBLEM WITH IT'S ABS BRAKES. WHILE COMING TO A STOP BELOW 5 MPH THE ABS WOULD KICK IN WHILE ON DRY PAVEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NOV.2004 TO BE FIXED. THE DEALER CLEANED THE SENSOR MOUNTS OF RUST AND RETESTED AND IT SHOWED THAT THE LEFT SIDE WAS OUT OF LIMITS. THE ROAD TEST SHOWED NO UNWANTED ABS STOPS. THIS HAS HAPPEN TO THE CONSUMER ONE TIME WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. THE CONSUMER HAS THE SERVICE INVOICES. *NM

MY 1999 CHEVY Z71 LOSES THE POWER STEERING WHEN TURNING LEFT THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME CARS IN JAN 04 BUT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED MY DAUGHTER HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD CHEVY FIRST SAID MY TRUCK WOULD BE INCLUDED BUT NOW THEY SAY IT WILL NOT BE FIXED AND I CAN NOT GET THEM SEND ME ANY INFO ON HOW TO FIX THE PRBLEM MY DEALER SAYS THEY DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM

ABS SYSTEM FAILED AT 5 MPH, MADE NOISE, AND TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP AT 5 MPH. HAD TO HIT BRAKE HARD TO STOP THE TRUCK.*AK

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.

I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 35 MPH WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I TRIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THAT WOULDN'T WORK EITHER. I ROLLED TO A STOP AND CALLED A TOWING COMPANY. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICAL THERE WAS BREAK FLUID LEAKING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR. THE VEHICAL WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE LINE HAD BUST. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE FEUL LINE WAS ABOUT TO BUST. THE ENTIRE BREAK AND FUEL LINES WERE CORRODED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP 2 WEEK TO REPAIR. THE COST WAS OVER $2000.

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.
