POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT
ON 2/28/02, I REPORTED TO GM THAT MY 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WAS JERKING & BINDING WHEN THE VEHICLE ROUNDED CORNERS OR IN A 180-DEGREE TURN. A SERVICE MANAGER TOOK THIS VEHICLE FOR A TEST DRIVE BY HIMSELF IN THE PARKING LOT AND DID A COUPLE OF TURNS AND A 180-DEGREE TURN. HE ALSO FOUND THAT IT DID HAVE A JERKY OR JUMPING MOVEMENT AS IT WENT INTO THE TURN. THIS FRONT WHEEL BINDING MAY BE SOME TYPE OF DESIGN IRREGULARITY OR FLAW, WHICH OCCURS WHILE IN THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE MODE. SINCE THE SERVICE MANAGER CONSIDERS IT A NORMAL CONDITION, AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE AT HIS LEVEL TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IRREGULARITY SHOULD BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED. WHY, BECAUSE THESE ERRATIC MOVEMENTS COULD JERK, BIND, OR STOP THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS BEING TURNED AND THE VEHICLE IN MOTION. NOWHERE IN MY OPERATOR'S MANUAL, OR ON THE DASH IS THERE ANY STICKER WHICH IDENTIFIES THAT THIS VEHICLE WHILE IN A 4-WHEEL DRIVE MODE WILL JERK OR BIND WHILE TURNING CORNERS.*AK

ABS UNIT WENT OUT LAST MONTH; CONTINUED TO RUN AFTER MOTOR WAS SHUT OFF; AFTER CHECKING AROUND, UNABLE TO LOCATE PART BECAUSE ALL ON USED VEHICLES ARE ALREADY GONE ON THIS YEAR MODEL. HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE THAT I KNOW HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME YEAR MODEL ABS UNIT. ONLY UNIT THAT CAN BE FOUND IS A NEW UNIT THROUGH GM AT THE DEALER NOT AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE AT ALL. THEY CANNOT KEEP THEM IN STOCK. SUGGEST THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS UNIT. HAVE MINE STILL DISCONNECTED TILL I CAN FIND ONE THAT IS NOT $700.00+ DOLLARS, BUT HAVE CHECKED THE WEB AROUND THE US AND AM STILL UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY FOR A 1999 CHEV. PU. SUGGEST THERE IS A PROBLEM. *AK

ABS MOTOR CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. ABS MOTOR IS LOCATED IN TERRIBLE POSITION UNDER DRIVER SIDE DOOR. BOLTS TO SYSTEM HAVE RUSTED DUE TO PLACEMENT OF MOTOR. ABS LIGHT STAYS ON AND MOTOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY. DEALER SAYS PROBLEM IS ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE. VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND WILL PROBLABLY JUST HAPPEN AGAIN IN ANOTHER 45,000 MILES. SOME DEALERS SAY JUST TO DISCONNNECT FUSE TO ABS MOTOR, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A MAJOR PROBLEM. CHEVROLET SHOULD MAKE THIS A RECALL.*AK
