Abs brake system is out this is a very common problem on 1999 chevrolet trucks. The system has a internal short circuit and the ABS pump runs with key turned off. The system shuts done a ABS does not work. The repair bill is 1000 dollars to fix this problem and ost people pull thhe fuse instead of spending that kind of money.. This problem is a major expense and common problem is there a recall in the works for this problem.
Abs light came on and there was a humming noise coming from underneath vehicle once ABS was engaged. Consumer pulled fuse to stop the noise and it shut ABS system off. Dealer would have to charge $750. Consumer went to an independent dealer. But, consumer is still experincing a problem when the brakes are applied. Vehicle slides like before. Consumer seems to think ABS is faulty. *ak the ABS system had failed, and the consumer's survey indicated that thousands of consumers had been experiencing the problem.
Abs unit failed. Abs light on dash illluminated. Had to remove fuse. 1st dealer said okay to remove fuse.when we took it in to the dealer we were told it was too bad we don't have the extended warranty. The ABS module usually fails after the 36,000 mile warranty expires.

My 1999 silverado pickup has 66,000+ miles at 60,221 miles the "ABS" light came on and the unit directly below the driver's seat that is mounted to the frame began to humm continuosly. After checking with my chevrolet dealer where I purchased the vehicle, he explained that the cost of replacement for the unit in question was $728.00. I asked the service manager if it would be okay to continue driving the vehicle if I unplugged it. He assured me that it was okay. After doing some investigating & questioning other owners I found that they too had experienced problems with the ABS system. It is my opinion that the failure of such an expensive, major safety component at only 60,000 is excessive and dangerous. The ABS module is the heart of the ABS system and without it the vehicle is rendered undriveable and unsafe. This vehicle has already had three recalls, although minor in comparison, but recalls none-the-less. I consider the failure of the ABS system serious and a major flaw in the design of this vehicle.
Emergency brake shoes are wearing out faster than they should, to the point where consumer can't use emergency brake . *ak the inside drum area of the rotors was rusting causing premature brake shoe failure.
Consumer was traveling at approximately 60 MPH under wet rainy conditions when control of the vehicle was lost. Consumer applied brakes and vehicle slid into a jersey wall head-on. Driver's and passenger's air bags failed to deploy. Dealership has not looked at vehicle to determine reason that air bags failed to deploy.

Gas pedal stuck down, could not control vehicle due to slippery road could not brake due to antilock brake system.
Abs pump was constantly running, no ABS braking action during that time. Also, this would have caused battery to drain. Took vehicle to dealer who replaced ABS pump.
Tire failed when the truck was parked. The brakes do not always apply full braking when the peddle is pushed to the floor. This is not the ABS activating. The braking distance may be 3 to 4 times what it should be. The dealer tested the the brake system and test drove it and said that everything is normal. The peddle travel does not seem to have enough to allow for variations in the system. I believe this is a design defect. *ak (tiresize: p265/75r16)( dot number: tire size: p265/75r16 )
