Consumer states the back rotors have completely disintegrated and could not be cut or turned upon recent brake service. Mr
Many people simply pull fuse or disconnect ABS pump power and go without ABS because of the cost of repairs. Due to the number of vehicles experiencing the same failure, this could be a significant safety problem. Dt
The break pedel becomes rock hard and the truck will not stop have to use the emergancy brake when the antilock brake fuse is removed the brakes work fine. Before I removed the fuse was almost in many crashes, if I had not used the e brake!!!!!!!!!! Dt
Emergency brake pedal goes all the way to floor and will not hold on hill. Stutzman told me chevrolet it is normal on this model truck. Dt
Ecbm shorted out. Located on top of ABS brake pump, attached to frame under drivers seat. Dealer wanted $1100 to fix, $770 part. Bought part $409 (discount) had installed for $300, called chevrolet service help. No help!! Got other recalls fixed at dealer. Dealer nor me couldn't get hold of chevorlet service help. Ecbm located where water can damage it. Seems to be a problem with 1999. Dt
I have talked with over 50 people just in the knoxville area that have had this same problem - a "burnt out electrical delay in the ABS unit" - costing upwards of $1000 to fix. I have put less than 5000 on this vehicle from my date of purchase earlier this year. I am still under dealer warranty and I will be demanding a refund and an explanation. If so many people are having this same exact problem, some people told me it is caused by water from the left tire splashing on the speed sensors, vitrually rendering them useless, then why isn't there a recall? Dt
The ABS motor keeps running after the truck is cut off. The only way to stop it is to pull the fuse, so I have no ABS. Gm finds ways to get out of their warranties and could careless that they are creating safety problems. When you pay $26,000 for something you expect it to work and extended warranties should be just that instead of ways to suck out more money from buyers. Dt
Abs pump continued to run with vehicle off. Abs/brake light remain on seems to be a very common problem. Dt
Consumer noticed the at home didn't have antilock brake system. Dealer has not been notified yet. Please provide further information . Mr
While pulling out of a parking space the ABS light appear on the dashboard. A loud noise coming from underneath the vehicle and the brake pedal went to the floor. The dealer is aware of the problem. Please provide further details. Mr
Abs module failure ABS module runs continuously and must be shut off at the fuse or it will run down battery. The part must be replaced as a dealer part (no aftermarket) at a cost of $1000 plus. Dealer indicated that failure is a systematic problem with the 1999 model. Has been corrected for 2000 model. This should be a recall item! Dt
Abs module fails, and antilock brake are inoperatable. Module is located under the truck on the frame rail. This probably causes water to short it out. Dt
The module that controls the ABS is failing to turn the ABS motor off when the truck is stopped. I have contacted chevy and they have said there is nothing that can be done but said this is a common problem with these trucks. It was not mentioned at the time of purchase. I have searched the internet concerning this issue and it is filled with message boards complaining of this same issue. How much more has to be done to start a recall campaign for this? Dt
Consumer states that while driving ABS engaged w/o warning when brakes were applied under normal conditions. Consumer had to pull ABS fuse in order to get function to disengage. Ts
The front driver's side seat slide forward while stopping at a stop sign. I stopped and could not get it to latch back in place which is difficult since I am some what tall and had to use my left leg to brace my self so I would not slide forwrad the rest of the way. The ABS light came on while driving home upon arriving home I got out and heard a noise which seemed to be coming from under the driver's side door. I let it go for a while about two days and it ran the battery down causing me to have it jump started since then I have pulled the fuse to the ABS in the fuse box to turn whatever was running off. Dt
No summary. Dt

Driving to work, ABS light came on, ran code check, c0265, c0267, c0281, and then told parts would be $850. Decided to expensive to fix and not worth it with the number of problems the state inspector had seen. Dt5
