Abs module failed at just over 43,000 miles. Dealer said this was common problem with '1999 silverado. Contacted chevrolet to question why recall has not been placed or if they are providing assistance with repair cost due to the failure on a newer, low mileage vehicle. Told by chevrolet there was nothing they could do. Researched problem on internet and discovered this is a widespread problem for this truck. I feel as if chevrolet should live up to the high standards they claim and take care of a problem of this nature.

My ABS light came on when I started my car and I heard a winding out noise coming from beneath the area where the front passenger seat is. I immediatly called my mechanic and I brought my truck in to him. I have yet to have the problem diaganosed as of yet because of my time schedule.

In my research of 1999 chevrolet, silverados, all owners I have contacted have had this component fail. Chevrolet has chosen to replace this device at their cost all of them. Some of these vehicles were under warranty, some were not. Mine was not replaced due to the mileage on the vehicle. The ABS is a safety device and there is obviously a problem since everyone I know - this is greater than 10 owners - have had this device fail. I think this is a safety issue with the 1999 chevrolet's silverados and should be addressed.
