SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY BRAKES FAILED AFTER ACCELERATING FROM BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THE LIGHT TURNED YELLOW BEFORE WE WERE INTO THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED, SPEED WAS LESS THAN 10 MPH. I ATTEMPTED TO STOP ON A BUMPY DRY SURFACE WHILE BRAKING THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS BRAKES WERE WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS SET BY MANUFACTURE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS DEALING WITH THE ABS SYSTEM ON THE SILVERADO. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *NLM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
THE ABS MODULE HAS JUST GONE OUT ON MY 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO (WITH 49K MILES). ACCORDING TO RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE ON THE INTERNET I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS DO A SEARCH ON YAHOO WITH THE TERMS "CHEVROLET SILVERADO ABS MODULE" AND A HUGE AMOUNT OF RESPONSES COME UP. GM IS CHARGING BETWEEN $1000 AND $1500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SINCE THIS IS SUCH AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR, TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WHAT MOST PEOPLE ARE DOING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IS PULLING THE FUSE ON THE ABS SYSTEM. THIS MEANS THAT THEY HAVE NO ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND THE BRAKE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. THEREFORE THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL IF THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE CONTROL VALVE MALFUNCTIONED AT LOW SPEED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED ON A ROUGH SURFACE ROAD. THE CONTROL VALVE HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP. MY CONCERN IS THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 1999 YEAR MODEL SILVERADO CHEVROLET PICKUPS. THIS VALVE IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND I HOPE THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN BUT IF IT DOES I DON'T FEEL THIS IS FAIR TO THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. I SEE THERE HAS BEEN 47 COMPLAINTS LOGGED TO DATE AND I KNOW OF AT LEAST ONE OTHER THAT HAS NOT LOGGED A COMPLAINT. THE FIX IS EITHER REPLACE THE VALVE OR DISCONNECT THE SYSTEM SO THE ANTI LOCK SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. I FEEL WE ( THE PUBLIC ) PAY ENOUGH FOR THESE VEHICLES THAT WE ARE ENTITLED THE FEATURES WE PAY FOR. *NLM
