SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
ABS ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE WENT BAD ON MY 1999 SILVERADO. THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP JUST TURNED ON WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. DID NOT SHUT OFF WHEN I TURNED THE KEY OFF. HAD TO PULL 60 AMP ABS FUSE TO STOP PUMP FROM RUNNING MY BATTERY DOWN. THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY 38,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE READ ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME FAILURE AT LOW MILEAGE. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE PART TO REPLACE, AND IT SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER. I WOULD LIKE CHEVROLET TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT MODULE. TS

WHILE DRIVING, THE OWNER HEARD A "BUZZING SOUND" AND THEN THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE ENGINE OF THE ABS BRAKES CONTINUED RUNNING EVEN AFTER THE OWNER PULLED OVER. THE MANUFACTURE HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE 2000 MODELS FOR ABS BRAKES. THE OWNER FEELS THAT THE RECALL SHOULD ALSO INVOLVE THE 1999 TRUCKS DUE TO THE SIMILARITY IN FAILURE. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
GENERAL MOTORS HAS INDICATED THAT PRETTY MUCH EVERY 1999 SILVERADO WILL HAVE THIS DEFECT. THE ABS MOTOR WILL STICK ON AND NOT SHUT OFF EVEN IF THE TRUCK IS OFF. YOU HAVE TO PULL THE FUSE OUT. THE DYNAMIC REAR PROPORTIONING SYSTEM IS NOW NOT WORKING. WHICH BALANCES THE FRONT TO REAR BRAKE BALANCE. GM KNOW THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE AND HAS RECALLED IT ON THE 2000 MODEL YEAR BUT NOT THE 1999 MODEL YEAR. I AM SURE YOU ALREADY KNOW ABOUT HOW MANY OTHERS ARE LIKE THIS AND COULD CAUSE THE TRUCK TO HANDLE DIFFERENT LEADING TO POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. REPAIR COST ARE AROUND 1000 DOLLARS AND MANY PEOPLE WILL NOT HAVE IT REPLACE. DT
