SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
UPON LEAVING PARKING SPOT. THE ABS LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE ABS UNIT STARTED TO RUN AS IF STOPPING ON A SLIPPERY SURFACE. STOPPING AND SHUTTING OFF THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP THE ABS UNIT AND IT CONTINUED TO RUN. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT TO STOP WAS BY PULLING THE 60 AMP FUSE UNDER THE HOOD.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
IN MY RESEARCH OF 1999 CHEVROLET, SILVERADOS, ALL OWNERS I HAVE CONTACTED HAVE HAD THIS COMPONENT FAIL. CHEVROLET HAS CHOSEN TO REPLACE THIS DEVICE AT THEIR COST ALL OF THEM. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE UNDER WARRANTY, SOME WERE NOT. MINE WAS NOT REPLACED DUE TO THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. THE ABS IS A SAFETY DEVICE AND THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM SINCE EVERYONE I KNOW - THIS IS GREATER THAN 10 OWNERS - HAVE HAD THIS DEVICE FAIL. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE 1999 CHEVROLET'S SILVERADOS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.*AK
