SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS SYSTEM OPERATES AT LOW SPEEDS (5 TO 10 MPH) ON DRY PAVEMENT RESULTING IN EXTREMELY LONG STOPPING DISTANCES. I CALLED MY DEALER AND THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY CLAM THAT IT IS DUE TO A BATCH OF FAULTY SENSORS THAT GM WAS SUPPLIED. SO WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER GET LEFT HOLDING THE BAG. WHY IS NO RECALL BEING DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THAT AN INVESTIGATION IS STRONGLY NEEDED. THIS IS OVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT (EXTREMELY WIDESPREAD). *AK

WHILE DRIVING MY 1999 SILVERADO TO WORK I HAD TO STOMP ON THE BRAKES TO TRY TO AVOID HITTING A DEER. AT THAT MOMENT THE ABS CONTROLLER FAILED AND SUBSEQUENTLY I COLLIDED WITH THE DEER. I ALSO HAVE CHECKED VARIOUS FORUMS ON THE SUBJECT AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN FAR TOO MANY ABS FAILURES ON THE 1999 CHEVY SILVERADOS. GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.*AK
