SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE ABS PUMP CAME ON AND STAYED ON. EVEN AFTER I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THUS, THE ONLY WAY TO RECTIFY IT WAS TO UNPLUG THE ABS. IN RESEARCHING FURTHER, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALL THE 1999 SILVERADOS. WHAT CAN I DO OTHER THAN SHELL OUT $1,000 TO HAVE THE PUMP REPLACED? SHOULDN'T CHEVROLET ADDRESS THIS?

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ANTI-LOCK MOTOR MODULE FAILS, CAUSING MOTOR TO RUN CONSTANTLY EVEN WHEN IGNITION IS OFF CAUSING DANGER OF FIRE. CONTACTED DEALER, AND WAS TOLD IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO HIGH FAILURE RATE. SEVERAL CHEVROLET TRUCK FORUMS ON THE INTERNET ALSO REVEALED A COMMON FAILURE. REPAIR COST ARE $800.00-$900.00 AND IT APPEARS MANY OWNERS ARE SIMPLY PULLING THE 60 AMP. FUSE AND DRIVING VEHICLES IN THIS CONDITION. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ANTI-LOCK MOTOR MODULE CONTINUED TO RUN WITH IGNITION OFF. HAD TO UNPLUG. MOTOR GOT EXTREMELY HOT BEFORE I COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND SINCE IT IS LOCATED NEXT TO THE GASOLINE FUEL FILTER IT CAN VERY DANGEROUS. MY CONCERN NOW IS THAT I HAVE A VEHICLE WITHOUT ANTI-LOCK BRAKES BECAUSE AT $800 -$1000 DOLLARS HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN RUSH RIGHT OUT AND REPLACE SOMETHING THAT EXPENSIVE. WHEN A FIRE OCCURS FROM THE EXCESSIVE HEAT BUILD UP SOMEONE WILL GET HURT. WHY SHOULD GM OR NHTSA WAIT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. *AK

ABS PUMP WAS ENERGIZED WHEN I STARTED VEHICLE AND CONTINUED TO RUN EVEN AFTER I TURNED OFF THE KEY. ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO STOP PUMP WAS BY REMOVING ABS FUSE, CAUSING MY ABS SYSTEM TO NO LONGER BE ACTIVE. CHEVROLET SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. ALSO FUEL GAUGE WILL INTERMITTENTLY REGISTER NO FUEL AFTER FILLING UP AND WHILE RIDING EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS CONTROL UNIT CAUSES THE PUMP MOTOR TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY, EVEN WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. DEALER ANDY MOHR CHEVROLET IN PLAINFIELD VERIFIED THIS IS THE PROBLEM, AND INDICATED THAT THEY ARE REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM WEEKLY. I KNOW OF SEVERAL OTHER 1999 SILVERADOS WITH SAME PROBLEM THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE ABS SYSTEM IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND A RECALL SHOULD BE INITIATED IMMEDIATELY.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE ABS PUMP STARTED RUNNING WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS TO PULL THE FUSE. THE POWER WINDOW ON DRIVERSIDE WILL GO DOWN A LITTLE THEN STOP, YOU HAVE TO KEEP PUSHING ON THE BUTTON TO GET IT ALL THE WAY DOWN WHICH TAKES A LOT OF TIME, SAME WAY WHEN YOU GO TO PUT IT BACK UP. THE THROTTLE STICKS WHEN YOU GO TO ACCELERATE, DID IT A LITTLE NEW NOW DOES IT A LOT. I HAVE CONTACTED GM THEY SAID THAT THE TRUCK IS TO OLD KNOW FOR THEM TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE HEARD THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT THERES OCCURED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
BOTH REAR ROTORS HAVE HEAVY CORROSION. INBOARD DISC PADS WORE TO METAL. OUT BOARD PADS HAVE OVER 1/4" LEFT ON THEM. EMERGENCY BRAKES HAVE STUCK AND WORE OUT. 42,000 MILES IS TOO EARLY TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM! IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAD NO IDEA THAT MY ROTORS WERE GROOVED AND THE BRAKES WORN OUT. THERE WAS NO INDICATION. DEARLERSHIP WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT SAYING THAT IT IS NORMAL WEAR. OTHER DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS NOT. GMC SO FAR HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS PUMP CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AS I HAVE OTHER FRIENDS WITH THE SAME VEHICHLE THAT HAVE HAD TO PAY UPWARDS OF $800 TO REPAIR THIS SYSTEM. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS FAILURE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE LOCATION OF THE ABS UNIT?? IN ADDITION, THE PARKING BRAKE ALSO DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. EVEN WHEN IT IS DRPESSED FULLY TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICHLE WILL STILL MOVE IF THE VEHICLE ACCIDENTLY SHIFTS INTO GEAR. I HAVE DISABLED THE ABS, AT THIS POINT.*AK

STARTED MY TRUCK, HEARD HUMMING NOISE FROM UNDER DRIVERS DOOR, ABS LIGHT CAME ON. SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND THE HUMMING NOISE CONTINUED. HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET IT TO QUIT. WHEN BATTERY IS RECONNECTED THE HUMMING NOISE CONTINUES. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP, THEY UNPLUGED THE FUSE. I APPERENTLY NO LONGER HAVE ABS. I CALLED CHEVROLET (FILE # 05941718) THEY SAID THEY WOULD PAY 30% OF THE $625.00 MODULE. I STARTED TO CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER SILVERADO OWNERS, IT SEEMS NUMEROUS OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I'VE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE LOCKING UP AND NOT RELEASING. *AK
