SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
THE MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE ABS IS FAILING TO TURN THE ABS MOTOR OFF WHEN THE TRUCK IS STOPPED. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVY AND THEY HAVE SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BUT SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS. IT WAS NOT MENTIONED AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET CONCERNING THIS ISSUE AND IT IS FILLED WITH MESSAGE BOARDS COMPLAINING OF THIS SAME ISSUE. HOW MUCH MORE HAS TO BE DONE TO START A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THIS? DT

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK, SEATS
THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT SLIDE FORWARD WHILE STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. I STOPPED AND COULD NOT GET IT TO LATCH BACK IN PLACE WHICH IS DIFFICULT SINCE I AM SOME WHAT TALL AND HAD TO USE MY LEFT LEG TO BRACE MY SELF SO I WOULD NOT SLIDE FORWRAD THE REST OF THE WAY. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING HOME UPON ARRIVING HOME I GOT OUT AND HEARD A NOISE WHICH SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I LET IT GO FOR A WHILE ABOUT TWO DAYS AND IT RAN THE BATTERY DOWN CAUSING ME TO HAVE IT JUMP STARTED SINCE THEN I HAVE PULLED THE FUSE TO THE ABS IN THE FUSE BOX TO TURN WHATEVER WAS RUNNING OFF. DT
