1999 Chevrolet Silverado brakes complaints
Page 15 of 35: complaints 401 to 430 of 1,003, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My chevrolet silverado 4x4 ext cab while backing down boat ramp with 3000 lb boat during launch procedure on asphalt ramp in reverse gear activated antilock brakes and slid into water.
The electronic brake control module failed on my 1999 silverado 4x4 ext. Cab. The vehicle only had 48,500 miles when the part failed. I would think gm should recall the part being it is part of a critical piece of the braking system. To replace the part would cost nearly $1000.00.
Consumer heard a noise from underneath the vehicle, and the ABS warning light illuminated upon the dashboard once vehicle was parked and turned off. The noise occurred because the ABS motor was still running which was due to ABS control relay module failure per dealership. *ak *jb
Brake failure. Abs activated on my 1999 silverado pickup and truck would not stop and rolled into traffic lane from gas station. This has happened a number of times, necessitating pulling of the ABS fuse in engine compartment thus rendering ABS inoperative. Had wheel hub bearing unit replaced at a cost of $377.00 and the day after the ABS activated again and vehicle would not stop. Pulled fuse again and have not replaced. Checked around the country in ny and ok., and had sons check with dealers and they asked why do you want to know if a problem. Dealer here says not a problem but I feel it should be looked into before maybe more people have problem and are killed.
Abs module failed without warning.
While driving, the consumer heard a humming sound coming from under the hood. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the consumer was informed that the ABS module pump was malfunctioning. The vehicle was repaired at that shop. *ak the ABS motor pump wouldn't stop running. The consumer had to unhook the pump to keep the battery from running down . *ph
The ABS light illuminated, and when turning the vehicle off, the ABS pump continued to run. Also, there was a burning smell present while driving.
While driving the ABS warning light illuminated on the dashboard. A defective ABS module caused this to occur. The dealership replaced the module.
I work as a salesman at a small used car dealership. In the past few months, we have had at least 4 general motors full size trucks (1999 suburban, 1997 chevy silverado, 1998 silverado, 1999 silverado) have speed sensors fail, causing the ABS to come on at slow speeds when braking. At first, we thought that this was just an inconvenience, but I was recently test driving a 1999 silverado, and when I pulled into my driveway, I was not able to stop and drove right into the garage. Fortunately, I was not stopping to let a pedestrian cross the street, because I would not have been able to stop and could have caused serious injury. This is a dangerous situation, and if I have experienced this problem on 4 vehicles, there must be many more on the road with this same problem.
Upon starting vehicle ABS indicator stayed on. There was problem with ABS motor running while driving or when vehicle was shut off.
Parking brake failed, vehicle did not pass inspection. Service technicians report this is a common problem, emergency brake pad is continually engaged due to product defect. Defective unit was replaced with redesigned unit for over $200.
The vehicle experienced a problem with the anti-lock brake motor. It continued to run even when the vehicle was off. The owner had to pull the fuse to get the anti-lock motor to disengage.
Abs control module.
Abs motor continues to run after ignition is turned off. Took to dealer who replaced the module, for a fee of course. Now brakes are very spongy. Needless to say, dealer still has the truck to try and determine the problem. Saw a web-site where several other owners have had the same problem.
Electronic brake control module failure. Abs pump runs continuously as long as the battery is connected and the ABS fuse is in place. At this time I have had to disable the ABS system to prevent the pump from burning out. Replacement cost quoted by chevrolet for this failure is $1000. From discourse on the internet this is a very common failure, and therefore should be considered a design flaw.
The ABS pump keeps running after the truck is turned off.pump gets very hot and could cause fire. I had to unplug it to keep from overheating and in doing so I lost the anti-lock brakes. Now gm is going to take me for about $1600 for a problem they know they've had with this.this should be a recall.
Abs wheel speed sensors 1999 chevrolet silverado - ABS kicks in when slowing to low speed (no ABS or brake lights come on). Very dangerous! You have no control of the vehicle when this happens. I called several local chevrolet dealerships about this problem and they are so familiar with the problem that they can tell you right away how long it will take to fix and how much it will cost (just by me telling them what the vehicle is doing). I was pulling into a parking lot, going less than 5 MPH and the truck did not stop, I bounced off of the curb - due to the ABS kicking in when it did not need to. If I was slowing for traffic, I have no doubt that I would have hit the person in front of me! This is a very common problem (I have since researched this problem on the internet) and a serious one - this needs addressed by chevrolet as soon as possible. My truck only has 57,000 miles on it - the cost of repair will cost up to $800 or more. The truck is unsafe to drive. Any response to this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
1. Abs motor started running while driving, then kept running, even when vehicle was shut off. 2. Engine turns over but is hard to start if it sits longer than 15 minutes and less than 6 hours 3. While idling, engine occasionally shakes and sounds like it's going to die.
Dealer replaced pads and rotors twice at owner's expense, a total of $2000.
While driving the brakes operated poorly, intermittently took them a long time to slow the vehicle down. Vehicle was taken to the dealer on two occasions, and consumer was told that the braking system was working normally.
My father-in-law pulled up at work. He turned the truck off and he heard a noise under the truck near the drivers door. He looked under the truck to see what was making the noise and found the ABS pump still running. He had the mechanic at the job site look at it and he disconnected the pump. The ABS light as well as the brake light came on but the truck was drivable. He told me about it and I did some research and found that it is a very large problem! Chevrolet is refusing to recall the part and putting the general public in danger. If the ABS fails during bad road conditions everyone is at risk. The occupants and the other drivers on the road. This needs to be put into a force recall by the federal safety agency for the safety of the general public. There should not have to be deaths on the road before safety issues are addressed. Please act swiftly in this matter before the deaths start showing up from this issue.
Brakes pulsate when coming to a stop or over rough/bumpy roads. This has been happening since I owned the truck. Dealer informed it was normal. In the past two weeks I have been having a problem with the ABS light occasionally staying on and during the first braking where the truck will not stop and the brakes chatter or pulsates but then will work fine for the rest of the day. Brake fluid is fine.
Consumer noticed that front fender rubbed a hole through brake line, causing vehicle to lose brake fluid.
The ABS motor continued to run when the engine was turned off. The ABS motor fuse had to be pulled to disengage the motor. *ak the cause was a malfunctioned microprocessor
Abs failure. Abs pump continued to operate although the vehicle was turned off. Consumer was unable to restart vehicle as a result.
After work today, I started my truck, the ABS light went on, and a loud noise came from underneath the driver's side. I called my gm dealer, and he told me it was the ABS module. He said a new one would cost from $400-500 dollars, plus an hour of labor. I bought it in july of 2003, spent a lot of money on accessories, and paid it off last month. Just after the dealer's warranty ran out(2300 mi), I now have an expensive repair. After much research and talking with parts supply companies, this is an on going problem. When will gm make ammends with their consumers? I am presenting 12 pages of documents to my dealer. Who knows, maybe they will admit there's a problem.
The ABS control valve and ABS control module shorted out causing the ABS warning light to illuminate on the instrument panel while driving. Water had entered both units, the pins of the control unit and sockets of the module unit were covered with rust, shorting the system, in some manner water entered through the control unit and caused the pins and sockets to rust resulting in premature failure.
When driving over bumps ABS light would come on.
Abs module failure. Continues to run after truck is shut off.
