1999 Chevrolet Silverado complaints

MY 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. WHEN NEARING A STOPPING POINT THE ANTILOCK SYSTEM ENGAGES AND EXCESSIVE BRAKING DISTANCE RESULTS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS NEAR MISSES AND ONCE RAN INTO AN INTERSECTION NEARLY HITTING OTHER TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE FOR A MACHINE WITH ONLY 48,000 MILES AS NO CHANGES OR SERVICES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE IN THE BRAKE COMPONENT AREA. I HAVE NOT PERFORMED THE SERVICE AS THIS WAS A RECENT INCIDENT AND HAVE LEARNED ABOUT A POSSIBILITY OF A RECALL.

AROUND 40,000 MILES THE ENGINE BEGAN TICKING AND TAPPING AFTER START-UP WHEN THE RNGINE IS COLD. NOW ITS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME WHEN YOU START IT UP. I HEARD FROM OTHER OWNERS ITS CALLED (PISTON SLAP). I TOOK ITHE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND SAID THE MANUFACTURE IS WORKING ON THE PROBLEM. DOES'NT LOOK LIKE ANYTHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT!!!! PLEASE HELP?

PURCHASED 99 SILVERADO IN AUG 2004, WITH ONLY 22600 MILES. WITHIN 1000 MILES MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON, WITH A LOUD HUMMING SOUND FROM UNDER MY TRUCK. MY ABS MODULE FAILED. COST TO REPLACE JUST THE PART EXCEEDS $800.00. GM SAY THERE IS NOT A RECALLABLE ISSUE, BUT EVERY DEALER/SERVICE DEPT I TALKED TO STATED IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE IT, ABS FUSE WAS REMOVED SO THAT THE PUMP WOULD NOT BURN UP.

MY '99 SILVERADO HAD THE BRAKE FAILURE PROBLEM (ANTI-LOCK BRAKES NOT WORKING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS) THAT I SEE IS NOW BEING INVESTIGATED. I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER, AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. I WAS REQUIRED TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. I SUSPECT THIS WAS NEVER REPORTED BY GM.

GM 1999 SILVERADO ANIT LOCK BRAKE UNIT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN TRUCK WAS SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO DISCONNECT BATTERY AND BURNED FINGERS. TO CORRECT THE FAILURE PULLED THE FUSE, BUT BRAKES DO NOT STOP GOOD I HAVE TO PRESS REAL HARD TO STOP. THE PROBLEM WITH THE ABS BRAKE IS THAT THE PUMP MOTOR IS PRODUCING VOLTAGE SPIKES AND THE AMPLIFIER SHORTS AND WON'T SHUT OFF DRAWING HIGH CURRENT AND ANTI LOCK BRAKE FAILURE AND OVER HEATING OF BATTERY TERMINALS CAUSING BURNS WHEN TOUCHED. THIS WAS SO HOT THAT THE POST CAME OUT OF THE BATTERY. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM GM NEEDS TO CHANGE THE AMPLIFIER TO ORIGINAL FAILED 75 AMP PUMP MOTOR POWER AMPLIFIER WITH A DOUBLE DUTY RATED 104 AMP (360 AMP SURGE) DEVICE. ADD A 600 WATT HIGH SPEED VOLTAGE SUPPRESSOR TO PROTECT THE EBCM AND THE NEW AMPLIFIER SET FROM VOLTAGE SPIKES CREATED BY THE PUMP MOTOR AND JUMP STARTS. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS FIXED ON MY TRUCK BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A RECALL. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE THEM FIX THIS. YOU HAVE MANY LISTING OF THIS FAILURE ON YOUR SITE. LISTED AS BRAKE LIGHTS ON, ABS ETC. EBAY NOW HAS PEOPLE WHO FIX THESE MODULES ONE HAS OVER 400 SATISFIED CUSTOMERS. I THIS THIS MAY EFFECT MILLION OF TRUCKS. INCIDENT DATE I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK FOR ACTUAL DATE.

(1)PARKED 1999 SILVERADO FOR 3 DAYS. (2)WHEN STARTED UPON RETURN, ABS MODULE WOULD NOT SHUT DOWN. (3)DEALERSHIP REPLACED PART (OLD PART NOT AVAILABLE) CAUSE WAS DUE TO CORROSION.

I OWN A 1999 CHEVY SILERADO EXT.CAB,I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IT ENGAUGES WHEN IT IS NOT NEEDED CAUSE THE TRUCK NOT TO STOP PROPERLY.I HAVE TO LEAVE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE FUSE OUT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK.

1. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT AS I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO COME TO STOPS AT STOP SIGNS OR DESTINATION ARRIVALS THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WOULD DEPLOY. 2. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WOULD ACTIVATE WHEN COMING TO A STOP WHEN THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE (THE WHEELS WERE NOT SLIPPING). ALTHOUGH I NEVER ACTUALLY HIT ANYTHING, I DID COME CLOSE SEVERAL TIMES. 3. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE CHARGE WAS $90.93 FOR LABOR. I STILL HAVE THE RECEIPT.

1999 CHEVROLET SILVARADO PICKUP TAILGATE CAME OPEN AND ONE CABLE SNAPPED AS I WAS GOING 55 MPH DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY. TAILGATE WAS DRAGGED BY THE OTHER CABLE UNTIL I COULD STOP.*AK

TAILGATE CABLE RECALL FOR 1999 SILVERADO. I UNDERSTAND THAT AN INVESTIGATION IS UNDER WAS FOR THE 1998 AND 1999 SILVERADO FOR TAILGATE CABLE FAILURE. JUST TO ADVISE YOU THAT I HAD TO REPLACE OF THE CABLE BECAUSE OF METAL FATIGUE IN THE CABLE. (RUSTED RIGHT THROUGH IT). GM HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THE CABLE AS THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE CURRENT RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS THE NEW BODY STYLE SILVERADO AND IS IDENTICAL TO THE 2000 MODEL. I HOPE THIS ADDS SOMTHING TO YOUR INVESTIGATION. *AK

I PURCHASED A 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO EXTENDED CAB ONE MONTH AGO USED FROM A LOCAL DEALER. AS I HAVE READ ON NUMEROUS WEB SITES AND FORUMS MANY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE, ABS ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE FAILURE. I DROVE HOME ,PARKED THE TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY, AND THE NEXT MORNING STARTED IT UP, AND THE ABS PUMP STAYED ENGAGED. AS TO NOT CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM I REMOVED THE ABS SYSTEM 60 AMP FUSE, TOTALLY DISABLING IT , AND WILL NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK UNTIL I GET NEW PART. MANY CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT COST OF A PART THAT OBVIOUSLY FAILED PREMATURELY, AND HAVE CHOSEN THE CHEAPER ROUTE BY REMOVING A 50 CENT FUSE THAT TOTALLY DISABLED THE ABS SYSTEM, AS NOT TO CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE ABS SYSTEM OR THE REST OF THE VEHICLE OTHERS HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS AND/OR REPLACEMENT OF PARTS. MEANWHILE ALL OF THESE VEHICLES ARE STILL USED DAILY ON OUR CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS WITHOUT THE PROPER VACATIONING EQUIPMENT THAT THE MANUFACTURER INSTALLED AND INTENDED TO BE USED AS ADVERTISED AS A SAFETY FEATURE. THROUGH CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER MECHANICS, AS I AM ONE MYSELF PROUDLY SERVING IN THE MILITARY FOR 17 YEARS, DEALERS AND MANUFACTURER KNEW ABOUT THE FAILURE, AND ADMITTED THAT A PROBLEM EXISTED. YET NOTHING WAS DONE WHETHER VOLUNTARY OR MANDATORY. TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WILL FIX THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE WITH MY ABS SYSTEM BECAUSE I COULD NOT LIVE WITH MYSELF, KNOWING THAT THROUGH MY FAILED ACTIONS I MAY CAUSE

PARKING BRAKE HAS NEVER BEEN EFFECTIVE TO HOLD VEHICLE, AT 66000 MILES THE REAR AXLE PINION BEARINGS WORE OUT. AT 68 K000MILES THE ABS CONTROLLER STOPPED WORKING/ FUSE HAD TO BE PULLED TO STOP MOTOR.

ON MONDAY, MARCH 21ST, 2005, WHEN MY 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCK WAS STARTED, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND A LOUD BUZZING SOUND FROM UNDER THE TRUCK STARTED. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF, THE BUZZING CONTINUED. THE 60 A FUSE WAS REMOVED TO FINALLY MAKING STOP, AFTER RUNNING THE BATTERY DOWN THE FIRST DAY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOUDL BE RECALLED OR ON EXTENDED WARRANTY. I READ ON A WEBSITE THAT MANY MANY OTHER TRUCK OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM LOOKING AT UPWARDS OF $1200 TO HAVE THIS MODULE ON THE ABS PUMP FIXED, AND THAT MIGHT NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM LONG TERM. IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN RIGHT AWAY. I WOULD APPRECIATE GM OR CHEVY RECALLING THIS MALFUCNTION TO THE ABS BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TAKES PLACE. I PURCHASHED A CHEVY TRUCK TO AVOID THESE TYPES OF ISSUES. NOW I HAVE A $1200 ESTIMATE TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT SHOUDL BE UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALLED. PLEASE INFORM ME AS TO HOW MUCH CHEVY IS WILLING TO REIMBURSE ME ON THIS MAJOR PROBLEM THAT IS CHEVY/GM'S FAULT. MICHAEL A. SETLAK 8937 NAUTICAL WAY NEW HAVEN, IN 46774

1999 FULL SIZE CHEVROLET TRUCK-- FREQUENT ABS BRAKE FAILURES CAUSES VEHICLES NOT TO STOP AT LOW SPEEDS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY TO INDIVIDUALS IN PARKING OF CROSSWALK INSTANCES

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUMPY DIRT ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEY GRABBED. THEN MADE A GRINDING SOUND AND RELEASED, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. A LITTLE SEARCHING BROUGHT ME TO THE ABS MODULE ON THE FRAME UNDER THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. IT WAS RUNNING, EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED, IT CONTINUED TO RUN. I DISCONNECTED THE POWER TO THE UNIT AND TAPPED THE WIRE UP SO AS NOT TO LET IT GET WET,(OBVIOUSLY,IT'S CARRYING A LOT OF JUCE.) WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE ENTIRE MODULE WAS BAD AND IT WOULD COST NEARLY 1000 DOLLARS TO FIX. HE SAID THAT THE MODULE ITSELF WAS GOING TO COST 761 DOLLARS. IT'S MY OPINION THAT NOTHING MORE THAN AN INTERNAL RELAY HAS GONE BAD AND I KNOW FOR A FACT IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS TOO. MY TRUCK HAS ONLY 35,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULDN'T BE PRESENTING COSTLY REPAIRS LIKE THIS WHILE I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT AND HAVE BABIED IT IN THE 13 MONTHS THAT I'VE OWNED IT. IF THESE MODULES ARE FAILING AT THE RATE THAT IT APPEARS THEY ARE THEN CHEVY SHOULD RECALL THEM OR COME UP WITH A LESS EXPENSIVE SOLUTION LIKE AN EXTERNAL BY-PASS TYPE RELAY THAT WOULDN'T INVOLVE REPLACING A COSTLY MODULE LIKE THIS OVER SOME 5 OR 10 DOLLAR RELAY. *AK
