PARKING BRAKE
CHEVROLET HAS A DEFECTIVE CLIP THAT IS ON THIER EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM AND THEY KNOW THIS BUT ARE NOT DOING A RECALL TO TRY AND SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY STILL ARE NOT ACCEPTING FAULT AND ARE MAKING THE CONSUMER PAY FOR THIER MISTAKE. AFTER REPEATED PHONE CALLS TO THEM I DID GET THEM TO AGREE TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE FIX ON MY 1/2 TON PICK-UP. MY QUESTION IS WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? IT IS NOT SO MUCH THE MONEY I HAD TO PUT OUT OF POCKET BUT THE FACT THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM ON ALL OF THIER TRUCKS MADE AFTER 1999.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
ABS KICKS (SOUND AND FEEL IN THE BRAKE PEDAL) IN AT VERY LOW SPEED (AS I CAME TRYING TO COME TO A STOP) AND I LOSS ALL BRAKING CAPABILITY NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT (HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME). I LEARNED THAT BY PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY FAST WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I CAN REGAIN BRAKE CONTROL. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY REPEATABLE.*AK I FINALLY HAD TO PULL THE ABS FUSE TO DISABLE IT. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE ABS CONTROL MODEULE REPLACED ONCE.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
THE ABS MODUAL ON MY 1999 K1500 CHEVYROLET TRUCK HAS GONE BAD. THE PUMP STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES, UNLESS YOU PULL OUT THE FUSE FOR THE ABS. BY DISCONNECTING THE FUSE, THE ABS BRAKES ARE DISABLED FOR THE TRUCK. THIS ALSO LEAVES THE ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT IN THE DASH ON. THE REPLACEMENT FOR THIS PART IS AROUND $1000. THIS APPEARS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL TRUCK.MY FATHER IS HAVEING THE SAME LUCK WITH HIS 1999 K2500. NOTE THAT THE DEALER RECOMMENDED FIX, SHORT OF REPLACING THE UNIT, IS PULLING OUT THE FUSE. *AK
