SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
1999 GMC SIERRA ABS MOTOR STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY. HAD TO PULL THE FUSE TO STOP IT. THE EBCM HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR COST $1,105.00. THE TECHNICIAN SAID HE HAD SEEN IT BEFORE AND I SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS SITE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT 46,775 MILES WHICH IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH OTHER DATA PRESENTED. GMC NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND COMPENSATE US FOR THE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
I EXPERIENCED A HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM MY VEHICLE WHEN THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. I WENT TO A GM DEALER TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE SERVICE TECH SAID IMMEDIATELY THAT IT WAS BAD WIRING IN THE ABS MOTOR CAUSING IT TO RUN AT ALL TIMES. THIS WAS A REPAIR THAT NEEDED TO BE COMPLETED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE MOTOR WAS RUNNING OFF OF MY BATTERY. THE DEALER SAID THAT HE HAS SEEN A FEW OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I PROCEEDED WITH THE REPAIR AND SPENT ABOUT 900.00. THIS IS NOT A RECALL, AT LEAST I AM NOT AWARE OF IT, AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
WHILE DRIVING THE ABS LIGHT COME ON AND AND STAYED ON. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE NOISE CONTINUED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND IT WONT STOP. I PULL OUT THE ABS FUSE AND THE NOISE STOPED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID WHAT IT WAS. THE ABS CONTROL MODULE WAS SHORTED AND THE MOTOR WONT STOP. IT COST ME $900.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AFTER I TALKED OUT THE SERVICE PERSON, I THINK THIS IS WAY TO EXPENSIVE AND TO SOON TO FAILED, FOR WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT GMC NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS SYSTEM. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITED. JUAN PINEDO.

BRAKE FAILURE. AFTER SLOWING OR STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION OR PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT, AND AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKES, AT REAPPLICATION THE BRAKE DOES NOT RESPOND. THE PEDAL DOES NOT RESPOND, NO DEPRESSION TAKES PLACE -- IT FEELS LIKE A ROCK! -- AND THE TRUCK DOES NOT STOP. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS, THE BRAKE WILL EVENTUALLY RESPOND, IN THE MEANTIME IT IS A HAZARDOUS SITUATION.
