Page 20 of 35: complaints 551 to 580 of 1,003, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Consumer contacted manufacturer on 01/17/02 regarding anti-lock brake system complaint. Manufacturer advised consumer that vehicle had 3 open recalls that consumer never received notification of. Consumer was first owner of vehicle and address information was correctly listed in system. Recall campaigns; 00v345000, 00x001000, 98v242000.
Anti-lock brake system engaged without warning while driving. Abs would not disengage and drained vehicle's battery. Had to pull 60 amp fuse to disengage ABS.
The ABS electro hydraulic control unit continuously ran with the ignition switch in the off position. Scc
On my 1999 silverado extended cab pickup, there is a constant buzzing noise under the drivers door. My ABS warning light is up solid. I had to disconnect power to the ABS module to stop the battery from draining. The mechanic told me the ABS module is defective and that it is a common problem with this model and year. He also advised me that it is very expensive ~$1000 to replace. I checked the interned and there are thousands of complaints about this problem. I think chevrolet should be forced to replace these modules free of charge.
6 days after replacing tires with same size tires, I got in my 99 chevy silverado truck and started it up. A strange humming noise started coming from underneath the truck. Upon further investigation I found it was coming from the ABS control module. I called the local chevy dealer to verify what it was and they new instantly that it was indeed the ABS control module and it would have to be replaced.
Abs module gets water in it and shorts out causing ABS pump to run and burns up motor.talked to a mechanic that works for a chevy dealer and he said that they are having problems with these and it seems to be only the 1999 model
Abs control module failure
When the anti lock brakes have been applied, the brakes will lock up and the vehicle will have heavy vibration. Thus causing the vehicle to have extended stopping distance. The dealer had been notified. Ph the vehicle would not stop on heavy slick surfaces and would slide out of control. Scc
The lining of the rear brake rotors flaked off the rotor. In talking with the mechanics concerning this incident I have been advised that they replace a significant number of rear brake rotors on chevrolet silveradosdue to this same complaint.these rotors had to be replaced while the front rotors are still original equipment.this situation caused the vehicle to shudder violently when braking at highway speeds. Causing a feeling of no control on the vehicle.the entire vehicle would shudder.
My truck now has 45,000 miles (out of warranty) and I am now having problems with the ABS. I was driving home, the ABS light came on, and I noticed a humming noise, even after the ignition was turned off. I had to remove the 60 amp fuse from the fuse center to turn off the ABS module. I am told that the repair cost is approximately $1000. I can't afford the repair cost and now I am driving without ABS. This is a common problem with the silverados and gm will not do anything. There are many complaints about this through out the web. It seems to me that this is a safety issue involving the braking system. Ts
Abs system is not working properly. Also, intermittently ABS light. Come on. Dealer has been notified. Ts.
Consumer stated that while driving at any speed and without warning the front and rear brake rotors are worn causing extended stopping distance. Dealer notified. Ts emergency brake clip and front rotors and pads were replaced.

The ABS motor continued to run after the vehicle was turned off.
Loud humming from under drivers side of truck with engine off. Abs light on when truck started. Pulled 60 amp fuse for ABS to stop humming. Abs has performed erratically over life of truck, including not stopping numerous times on bumpy road surface. Apparently general motors is aware ofissue with faulty design of unit, but refuses to accept responsibility. Will they accept the responsibility when someone dies becuase of their neglect? Will the federal safety agency accept responsibility for not assisting in the protection that they say they are providing? Why are failing components of this magnitude allowed to remain on these vehicles without any justification?
Abs system whent bad seems to be a major problem with silverados.
Abs electronic brake control module went bad on my 1999 silverado. The high pressure pump just turned on while backing out of my driveway. Did not shut off when I turned the key off. Had to pull 60 amp ABS fuse to stop pump from running my battery down. This truck has only 38,000 miles on it. I have read about several other people with the same failure at low mileage. This is an expensive part to replace, and it should last a lot longer. I would like chevrolet to cover the cost of the replacement module. Ts
1999 chevy silverado-ABS system fails at slow speeds,or coming to a stop.brakes release,pedel goes to floor causing the truck to continue forward.
At 51,346 miles the ABS motor stopped working, which caused the ABS light to remain on. The ABS motor would remain running, after the was turned off. The dealer had been notified, and vehicle was not covered under a recall. Ph the consumer requested a full reimbursement. Scc
General motors has indicated that pretty much every 1999 silverado will have this defect. The ABS motor will stick on and not shut off even if the truck is off. You have to pull the fuse out. The dynamic rear proportioning system is now not working. Which balances the front to rear brake balance. Gm know this part is defective and has recalled it on the 2000 model year but not the 1999 model year. I am sure you already know about how many others are like this and could cause the truck to handle different leading to possible accident. Repair cost are around 1000 dollars and many people will not have it replace. Dt

I have had three problems with the ABS brakes. First problem was the truck would not stop while towing my tailer with electric brakes and doing 10mph on dry, level road. The second was same as first but without the tailer. Both times the dealer found nothing. The third was that the rear rotors had rusted over and the pads were down to the metal backing. This was all before 21,000 miles and I had to pay for the pads. Gm only paid for the rotors. Now the truck is out of warranty the module has gone bad and after several phone calls to gm they said they will only pay 30% of the repair bill and I will have to pick up the other 70%. Talking to the dealer they tell me gm has a problem and gm knows it. Gm told the dealer the trucks were not designed for the weather in the northeast (snow, salt, water) so why are they selling these trucks where they know their going to have problems. This problem is going to get someone hurt if not kill if someone doesn't do something about it. A mechanic friend at the gmc dealership in town said that the location of the ABS system is the biggest problem. He also said that they have replaced quit a few units in the last two years in gmc trucks. Why don't they do a recall and fix the problem. Dt
Abs brakes severly resist the operators attempts to bring the vehicle to a stop at slow speed. The brake pedal vibrates but increased pressure by the operator will not being the vehicle to a stop. You have to take your foot off of the pedal completely, then slam it down with force to get the truck to jerk to a stop many feet past where it would normally stop. This frequently causes a loss of control at slow speed such as pulling up to a gas pump or stopping at an intersection. On numerous occasions, the vehicle failed to stop until it was well into an intersection. Dealer would not repair unless "the ABS light came on" which it never did. Owner removed the ABS fuse and the vehicle stops normally with ABS disabled. Owner investigation revealed that this is a common problem on the 1999 silverado which requires nearly $1000 to repair, but gm will not cover the repair of these obviously defective ABS systems. Dt
