SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WITH THE TRUCK I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKES DID NOT SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN AT ALL AND I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE A LARGE ENOUGH CURB AND SLOW ENOUGH SPEED FOR IT TO STOP. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED A FAILED ELECTRONIC BRAKING CONTROL MODULE AND FRONT RIGHT ABS SPEED SENSOR. AFTERWARDS THE ABS WAS COMING ON AT LOW SPEED WHEN IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AND THE DEALER SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED THE FRONT LEFT ABS WHEEL SENSOR SINCE IT'S OUTPUT WAS OUT OF SPECIFICATION. THE FACT THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED DUE TO BAD COMPUTER PARTS IS OF REAL HIGH CONCERN TO ME AND OTHERS AROUND THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SAFETY. THE FAILURE MODE OF THE ABS COMPUTER COMPONENTS SHOULD NEVER PREVENT VEHICLE BRAKING. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHEVY TO HAVE THE FAILED PARTS ANALYZED AS TO HOW THEY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING. THEY HAVE DENIED MY REQUEST. *LA

SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
BRAKE FAILURE. ABS ACTIVATED ON MY 1999 SILVERADO PICKUP AND TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP AND ROLLED INTO TRAFFIC LANE FROM GAS STATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES, NECESSITATING PULLING OF THE ABS FUSE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT THUS RENDERING ABS INOPERATIVE. HAD WHEEL HUB BEARING UNIT REPLACED AT A COST OF $377.00 AND THE DAY AFTER THE ABS ACTIVATED AGAIN AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. PULLED FUSE AGAIN AND HAVE NOT REPLACED. CHECKED AROUND THE COUNTRY IN NY AND OK., AND HAD SONS CHECK WITH DEALERS AND THEY ASKED WHY DO YOU WANT TO KNOW IF A PROBLEM. DEALER HERE SAYS NOT A PROBLEM BUT I FEEL IT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE MAYBE MORE PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEM AND ARE KILLED.*AK
