ON MY 1999 SILVERADO EXTENDED CAB PICKUP, THERE IS A CONSTANT BUZZING NOISE UNDER THE DRIVERS DOOR. MY ABS WARNING LIGHT IS UP SOLID. I HAD TO DISCONNECT POWER TO THE ABS MODULE TO STOP THE BATTERY FROM DRAINING. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE ABS MODULE IS DEFECTIVE AND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR. HE ALSO ADVISED ME THAT IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE ~$1000 TO REPLACE. I CHECKED THE INTERNED AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I THINK CHEVROLET SHOULD BE FORCED TO REPLACE THESE MODULES FREE OF CHARGE.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
6 DAYS AFTER REPLACING TIRES WITH SAME SIZE TIRES, I GOT IN MY 99 CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCK AND STARTED IT UP. A STRANGE HUMMING NOISE STARTED COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND IT WAS COMING FROM THE ABS CONTROL MODULE. I CALLED THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TO VERIFY WHAT IT WAS AND THEY NEW INSTANTLY THAT IT WAS INDEED THE ABS CONTROL MODULE AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
THE LINING OF THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS FLAKED OFF THE ROTOR. IN TALKING WITH THE MECHANICS CONCERNING THIS INCIDENT I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THEY REPLACE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF REAR BRAKE ROTORS ON CHEVROLET SILVERADOSDUE TO THIS SAME COMPLAINT.THESE ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED WHILE THE FRONT ROTORS ARE STILL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.THIS SITUATION CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUDDER VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CAUSING A FEELING OF NO CONTROL ON THE VEHICLE.THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WOULD SHUDDER.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
MY TRUCK NOW HAS 45,000 MILES (OUT OF WARRANTY) AND I AM NOW HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS. I WAS DRIVING HOME, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, AND I NOTICED A HUMMING NOISE, EVEN AFTER THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. I HAD TO REMOVE THE 60 AMP FUSE FROM THE FUSE CENTER TO TURN OFF THE ABS MODULE. I AM TOLD THAT THE REPAIR COST IS APPROXIMATELY $1000. I CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR COST AND NOW I AM DRIVING WITHOUT ABS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SILVERADOS AND GM WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS THROUGH OUT THE WEB. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVING THE BRAKING SYSTEM. TS
