ABS MOTOR WOULD REMAIN ON AFTER TURNING OFF VEHICLE. DEALER CONTACTED. *AK THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED IN 1998 FOR THIS DEFECT. CONSUMER WAS PULLING A 1994 AIRSTREAM WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKE CONTROL ON THE TRAILER TO QUIT OPERATING. WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, THE TRAILER PUSHED THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN I STARTED MY TRUCK I HEARD A HUMMING NOISE AND MY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND THE HUMMING NOISE CONTINUED. I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND HEARD THE ABS MODULE WAS STILL ON. SO I PULLED THE FUSE TO THE ABS SYSTEM AND AND THE MODULE STOPPED RUNNING. I DROVE THE TRUCK TO SEE IF THERE WERE GOING TO ANY PROBLEMS AND FOUND THERE TO BE NONE OTHER THAN THE ABS NOT ENGAGING. SO I DROVE THE TRUCK HOME AND PARKED IT HOPING TO GET IT TO THE DEALER ON MONDAY. I CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND I CAN SEE IT IS A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAD FOUND OUT IF THIS WAS A RECALL YET OR IF GM HAS DECIDED TO PICK UP THE CHARGE FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT SO CONSISTENT WITH THESE TRUCKS OR IF SOMEONE MAY HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN REPLACING THE PART BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE INVOLVED. IF SO PLEASE E-MAIL AT [email protected] .*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS MOTOR FAILED. CONTACTED DEALER AND HE SAID HE THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT AND HE WOULD LOOK IT UP. CALEED AND SAID NO, RECALL WAS NHTSA 00V055/GM RECALL # 00013, AND THIS WAS FOR THE 2000 SIERRAS. HE FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS FOR A SPRING CLIP THAT MIGHT RENDER THE ABS MOTOR USELESS. I WENT AHEAD AND HAD THE ABS MOTOR REPLACED FOR $1087.34. I WROTE TO GM AND ASKED FOR SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION DO TO THE LOW MILAGE AND THE FACT THAT THE LEASE WASN'T EVEN UP ON THE VEHICLE. THEY RESPONDED WITH A RESOUNDING "GET LOST". I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THROUGH A MECHANIC, I FOUND OUT THAT NUMEROUS OF THESE MOTORS HAVE FAILED. I CONTACTED A COMPETITOR DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FAILURE OF THE ABS MOTOR WAS "NOT UNCOMMON" BUT THEY WOULD NOT GIVE A FIGURE. MY QUESTION IS TO YOU, DO YOU HAVE THE MEANS TO INQUIRE HOW MANY OF THESE MOTORS HAVE FAILED? ALSO IF THE RECALL WAS FOR 2000 SIERRA'S, WITH ENOUGH COMPLAINTS, COULD THAT ALSO INCLUDE SOME OTHER YEAR MODELS? THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE AS TO MAKING ANY TYPE OF COMPENSATION. I FEEL THE OBSOLESCENCE OF THIS PART IS MUCH TOO SOON, IN MY CASE 57,000 MILES AND 3 YEARS OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU.*AK RECALL_ID = 10178
