SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
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

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
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
