The brakes locked up, which caused the vehicle to experience extended stopping distance.the consumer lost control as he drove through a puddle of four inch water due to the electronic control module shorting out which caused the antilock to fail.scc

Dt: the contact states he was working on a vehicle incustomer car shop in miami. He was taking the doors off when within 15 minutes to a 1/2 hour he smelled smoke. The whole dashboard underneath the steering wheel was on fire. Everything under the hood caught on fire. The fire spread from the dashboard to the back of the car. The fire department seem to think it was electrical. The whole shop burned down because of the vehicle fire. The fire departmentwas called. Two fire marshals came and they questioned the wiring. The police department was also called. This happened on 9-22-05.

The transmission was serviced more than four times while under warranty for the vehicle revvingand sticking in gear.the vehicle has been maintained as it should have been.the manufacture offered no help.the engine had come on, the fuel gauge did not read correctly, transmission slipped, the c control would not engage and a green and white wire at the pin circuit was loose, and the sensor in the washer jug was bad. *sc

Broken odometer.

(1) none(2) instrument panel would go hay-wire. Any or all the gauges would be pegged for no reason and then either go dead or start working again.(3) it was "so called repaired" twice under warranty. I was waiting for it to go completely out so they could see what was wrong. It went out for good about 6/20/02. I took it to the dealer and he said it had to be removed and sent back to gm for repair. I got my truck back on 6/28. He told me it would be around 500.00 for the repair. I told him, and he had it on record because i had it "repaired" the 2 times under warranty that i didn't feel that i should have to pay anything because i felt it ws never repaired correctly in the first place. He said the best he could do was charge me around 250.00. I had no choice but to pay because he wouldn't release my truck back to me.....i have found out that there are thousands of complaints about this same problem on alot of other trucks, suv's etc in the gm line. I feel that gm should re-imburse me because i had to pay for a problemthey did not fix in the warranty period.

Terminal post of battery came loose on its own and leaked electrolite onto vehicle frame and undercarriage.

I woke up to a dead battery yesterday on my 1999 z71 silverado.i jumped the vehicle and drove to the local auto parts store to replace the battery since it was the original and i did not want to get stranded in 0 degree weather.in route, my abs light came on and a loud motor sound came from under the vehicle.this noise did not cease once i turned the vehicle off.i replaced the battery & drove to my dealer.he opened the hood and pulled the abs fuse and said "you can fix it this way or the expensive way for $1500."i plan on keeping the vehicle for a couple more years and drive three small children in this vehicle so safety is of my utmost concern.the dealer replaced the ecbm for over $1100.there are many complaints on this site as well as numerous other forums.this is not an isolated problem.gm needs to do the right thing and issue at least a recall to inspect these units as they are in an area on the vehicle that is subject to road debris & corrosion.and ultimately reimburse any silverado owners for expenses incurred to replace this unit.how many complaints does it take to get an action out of chevrolet?hopefully they respond before someone gets hurt.

Abs light came on while driving also,when engine was shut off fan kept going. Dealer replaced abs motor.the rear window on passenger side leaks water. Driver side window rattles when closing door. Driver door squeaks when opening and closing. The front seat belt locks up. The front end was leaking due to front differential vent failure. Wiper blades failed. Driver?s seat would notmove due to seat adjuster failure. The abs light came on because the abs motor was defective. Transmission was leaking. The battery was leaking and was replaced. The coolant light came on due to a leaking water pump.

Gm 1999 silveradoanit lock brake unit would not shut off even when truck was shut off. I tried to disconnect battery and burned fingers. To correct the failure pulled the fuse, but brakes do not stop goodi have to press real hard to stop. The problem with the abs brake is that the pump motor is producing voltage spikes and the amplifier shorts and won't shut off drawing high current and anti lock brake failure and over heating of battery terminals causing burns when touched.this was so hot that the post came out of the battery. To correct the problem gm needs to change the amplifier to original failed 75 amp pump motor power amplifier with a double duty rated 104 amp (360 amp surge) device.add a 600 watt high speed voltage suppressor to protect the ebcm and the new amplifier set from voltage spikes created by the pump motor and jump starts. I have not had this fixed on my truck because i have been waiting for a recall.when are you going to make them fix this. You have many listing of this failure on your site. Listed as brake lights on, abs etc.ebay now has people who fix these modules one has over 400 satisfied customers. I this this may effect million of trucks.incident date i would have to check for actual date.

No summary listed for abov evehicle.

Parking brake has never been effective to hold vehicle, at 66000 miles the rear axle pinion bearings wore out.at 68 k000miles the abs controller stopped working/ fuse had to be pulled to stop motor. [should there have been a recall on this part as a lot of silverados have the same problem]73000 miles front axle housing split in two halves literally/ had to remove axle.50000 miles battery corroded and leaked at positive terminaltailgate straps broke, luckily one first.

Battery leaking acid on garage floor from positive terminal post of battery.i have been reading of many other similar complaints for chevrolet tahoe/yukon of same year that has caused crashes due to brake line corrosion and subsequent failure.my dealer found battery leak, but did not inform me of any brake line inspection so i am not certain my vehicle is safe.i replaced battery myself and used baking soda and water to neutralize acid as per dealer instruction. (before installing new battery)i thought i should register complaint that this condition occured.dt

Abs brake light is not alluminating properly, and at times will stay illuminated which causesbattery to drain. Please provide more information.

Consumer states that the vehicle will loose power in the battery, that when at a complete stop and trying to drive again the vehicle lost power and the consumer had to get jump wires. Contacted dealer and the dealer cannot find the problem. Ts

Acid from the battery escaped while driving and dripped onto the washer tank pump motor. The acid dissolved the housing and the pump had to be replaced.

Design flaw of the location of components resulted in a bracket rubbing against battery cable resulting in fire, destroying motor in vehicle.

While applying brakes abs light came on, and a loud hmming sound started, even after the vehicle switch was turned off. Sound continued untilbattery cable was disconnected.dealer was notified. Feel free to provide any further information on this mattter.

When applying brakes at any speedbrake pedal goes down more than it should, it feels spongy, and braking distance is extended. Dealer has replaced front and rear rotors 3 times.once due to rust,other timesdealer did not know what else to do. Front and rear pads were replaced twice.consumer states there is a noise in the steering, also seat belt was hanging up, the underhood lamp was inoperative, an horn acting erractically.

Horn failed.the horn became high pitched and then failed altogether.

Consumer notices excessive wear of the front brake pads and rotors.there is noprior warning indicating the brakes needed replacing. Also,consumer is having problems with the horn assembly, the horn isinoperative. Consumer has contacted the dealer.please provide any further details.

My vehicle dies while driving down the road, is very hard to start, right and third door had air and water leak, my truck also has a clanking noise underneath frame.

While drivingat 70 mph vehicle stalled, causing consumer to pull off the road. Vehicle was towed to the dealer, technician replaced the distributor and rotor cap.

Srartup, rough run, won't go over 20mph, won't accelerate above that until warm engine.

Twice died while driving no steering or brakes fear for your life.

Fuel pump, body control module and main computer have been replaced but the vehiclecontinues to stall while driving or not start at all.nlm

Started up the vehicle and was running rough when out on the highway, vehicle just stopped. Had to be towed to the dealer.had been diagnosed that the #3 and #4 engine cylinders had misfired. Also, replaced the fuel injectors #3 and #4, and spark plugs.several days later the same problem.this time the #4 engine cylinder again failed.contaminated fuel,replaced the fuel pump.contacted dealer and manufacturer.

I drive a 1999 chevrolet silverado.on a rainy day trying to do a stop the vehicle lost control luckily there was no other vehicles around. Later i learned that the anti-lock brake system was failing.i learned later that many people with the same vehicle have had many familiar incidents. I have not fixed the problem because gm charges an extremely high price and this is not covered by any type of insurance of warrantynot even the dealers.

Fuel pump, body control module and main computer have been replaced but the vehiclecontinues to stall while driving or not start at all.nlm

When they turned off the car it would not turn off.took car to dealer, and they replaced module at consumer's expense.

Abs motor will not turn off after the consumer takes the keys out ofignition.

The following have all been replaced: 5.3 l engine, catalytic converter, four oxygen sensors, 1 starter sensor, 1 crank sensor, 1 window regulator, rear air-vent assembly, 1 shaft in the front suspension, 1 headlight bracket, 1 knock sensor, 4wd switch, 1 clamp for rear window.vehicle is 15 months old and has 32 days of in-shop service.service engine light has come on 4 times in 14 days.on 12/4, vehicle stalled when attempting to accelerate.engine had a spare part left in at manufacturing and was destroyed from the part flying around inside.abs has engaged too soon in the past and vehicle could not be stopped.

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 hours3.while idling, engine occasionally shakes and sounds like it's going to die.*la

While using remote starter vehicle would start 23 minutes later. Dealer has been contacted, can't duplicate problem. Please provide further information.

Consumer states abs module failed dueto defective electrical wires. Dealer hads been contacted.

Tail lights on driver side and license plate light failed, wiring not grounded so they shorted out.

The truck was parked early evening, at 3:30 a.m. Fire had broke out in the carport.

Automatic headlights on the silverado do not give the driver the option of turning off the headlights.this is an impractical and inconvenient design which creates a problem at every military installation where drivers are required to turn off headlights when approaching entry gates at night.what was probably envisioned as a safety device is actually a safety hazard under certain conditions.

Front end has been vibrating since purchase of vehicle, dealer has replaced front end twice/ dashboard twice, and transfer case 3 times.went to different dealers 11 times. Could notremedy problems.chevrolet first agreed to buy vehicle back, then changed mind. Independent mechanicfelt that problem had to do with driveline. Vehicle was at dealer 85 days first year. Please add additional information.

While driving a malfunction occurs within instrument panel which causes gauges tooperate erratically. When this problem happens driver cannot determinefunctions ofvehicle.please give any further details.

Consumer stated while traveling, the abs indicator light flashed along with brake light. Followed by anoise coming from under vehicle. Dealer has been contacted. Please provide further information. *ph

While driving, heavy smoke came from dash. I pulled off to the side of the road. When i looked under the dash i could see wires melted together coming from the brake light sending unit. It melted up into the main wire harness. I unplugged the wires , burning my hand. If i would not of, i believe the truck would have caught on fire!

Chasis / rear main-has and does have a loud klunking noise on take off and slow acceleration.i have taken it (the truck) to the dealership for repair which did not fix the problem. The second problem with the instrument panel - the glass cover to the istrument cluster cracked. The third problem with the console - the key which was issued with truck would not unlock center console lid , but would unlock clove box, had to bust lid open to gain access.

Started my truck one day and heard a noise i haven't heard before. Looked under hood to see where it was coming from and noticed noise was coming from the exhaust manifold. The bolts have broken off leaving the manifold leaking exhaust fumes. Came to find out that this is a common but very dangerous problem on chevy trucks. Many chevy vehicles have this issue and if not corrected could lead to more engine troubles or worse yet a fire.so now my vehicle is a safety hazard! chevy should recall this safety hazard, which could become dangerous.

Brakes: since approximately 136,000 miles to present miles, the vehicle has exhibited an abs and brake warning light intermittently on the dash. This is a known gm issue that was recalled in certain states, but not all. It stems from faulty soldering points in the abs control module and can affect the vehicles ability to stop correctly which could result in an accident.engine/ emissions: the passenger side exhaust manifold bolt has broken off. This is a known issue with this 5.3l engine as well as the 4.8l and 6.0l engines. Gm has failed to recall in spite of having thousands of complaints. The issue can cause failed emissions and potentially engine fires. Engine: as of 164,000 miles, the engine is experiencing loud "piston slap". This is a known issue which gm addressed through redesign in later models. It leads to excessive engine wear and potential engine failure. It appears to be a factory defect, yet gm has claimed it is not important despite numerous complaints from customers that the engines have required replacement as a result.

I have a 1999 chevy silverado that has been diagnosed with piston slap. This all started shortly after i purchased the vehicle in 1999. However, the dealer refused to fix it, stating that it is normal noise. (normal? then why didn't the engine make this noise when i first drove it off the lot)? i continued asking the dealer about the noise but they continued to say that it was normal noise. Finally, i took the vehicle to another gm dealer on april, 2004. The vehicle had 48,799 miles. I asked the mechanic and service representative to listen to the engine, both determined the noise was not normal, and needed repaired. They performed numerous engine repairs that seemed, at that time, to make the noise go away. In june, 2004, the vehicle now had 49,023 miles, the noise had returned, and the gm dealer again stated the noise was not normal. They then replaced the long block of the engine, that seemed to have taken care of the problem. As of this date, the vehicle is back at the gm dealership with the same engine noise, which is a loud ticking/knocking noise. I am, again, being told is "normal" for this engine. (this is statement is being quoted by general motors, as being "normal". Initially, when i recently took the vehicle to the gm dealership, the service technicians indicated the noise was not normal...until the engineers at general motors conveyed the noise as being "normal".)

Broken exhaust manifold bolts.3 bolts have broken off on their own.2 from one side and one from the other.v8 6 liter motor.

Computerized engine design does not include monitoring engine coolant temperature for appropriate cyclic function and indicating proper thermostat protection, poor performance. Mjs

Consumer stated that after 12,000 miles the engine was having a knocking sound. Consumer took vehicle to the dealer, and was told that there was no solution for the vehicle, and the manufacturer was exploring ways to remedy the defect.

This is the first new vehicle we have ever bought.but not a good expreience, we have always had gm products with no problems. We just had the truck in the garage and they put it on the computer, it said code po137 02 sensor bank 1 sensor 2 replace also code po300 misfire #7 cylinder replace injector and fuel pressure regulator.this cost 448.78.also po300 misfire #7 cylinder replace injector and fuel pressure regulator and code po463 fuel level sensor needs fuel sensorreplaced at a cost of 301.00.we can't afford this at this time.they also said both front wheel bearings with speed sensors need replaced at a cost of 642.00.we can't have this done now either.we are going to try to get along with the brake failure long enough to save money to fix.we replaced the battery sept 11th at a cost of 65.00 and an alighment in june at a cost of 47.00 and rear brake rotors and pads replaced in july at a cost of 279.00.we had thought of trading or selling outright and getting another truck, but can't sell it as it is.

After stopping in driveway, heater hose disconnected from firewall losing lg qty of coolant

Wouldsmell anti-freeze inside of vehicle. Coming through the vents. This caused problem with respiration. Took vehicle to dealer & mechanic took dashboard apart to repair leakage on passenger's side. Repaired the leaking problem. Now the leakage has returned.

Intermittently while applying the brakespower steering becomes inoperative which may result inloss of vehicle control.dealer cannot determine the cause of the problem. Dealerhas tried 4 times to repair this problem, but of no avail.meanwhile dealer replaced gear steering box/power steering pump, and the cooling coil and hoses.

Consumer heard a tapping noise coming frommotor area.consumer tookvehicle todealership,andmechanic replaced engine lifters. But,problem has continued.

From the very begining, the engine, (5.3l), has made a ticking/knocking noise at start up (similar to what "noisy lifters).i was told by the dealer some time ago, that is was faulty pistons, ("piston slap"), with no solution yet.i have since also heard this from addtional automotive resources.it has continued to get worse.i spoke to the dealer again today, and am meeting with him tomorrow, leaving my truck so they can start it in the morning.i just anticipate a lot of problems.he has told me that they have had many trucks come back for the same reason, and have even replaced entire engines.but he also said it could be "carbon build up".i don't think so, because it was doing this from the first day off the lot.i hope i am wrong, but expect a very difficult battle to get the engine replaced.any information or help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.i have talked to numerous other truck owners with the same problem.some have had major repairs like new lifters, without success.but those who let the dealer do major repair, then later were told chevrolet would not take the motor back and put a new one in, because the dealer had already "broke" into the engine.(didn't mean to write a book, but really would like some help/support.this is a very new and expensive truck, and i should not have an engine knocking with 40,000 miles on it, particularly from day one.i take meticulous care of this truck and change the oil like clock work every 3500 miles.thanks so much for any help or direction you can provide!sincerely, [xxx]parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Throttle linkage sticks, ongoing problem, itermittently, mostly sticks from idle, but recently did not return to idle, had to reaccelerate and then it returned. Mechanic contacted chevrolet dealer and was told it is a problem in around 50% of the throttle bodies in this type of vehicle. Refused to provide correction for problem and stated that it is a major problem.(not dealer where purchased)*la

The engine stalled and had to be replaced at 38,000 miles.

Around 40,000 miles the engine began ticking and tapping after start-up when the rngine is cold. Now its happening all the time when you start it up. I heard from other owners its called (piston slap). I took ithe vehicle to the dealer andthey said they had quite a few complaints about this and said the manufacture is working on the problem. Does'nt look like anything will be done about it!!!! please help?

Dt: the contact'shusband vehicle stalled without warning while being driven. There were no warning lights to indicate any problem. The vehicle was towed.itwas taken to the dealer for service, where they added insulation to an air conditioning line and replaced the distributor cap. The vehicle was repaired. Updated 1/19/2006 - the second time the vehicle stalled the dealer advise the consumer to remove the distributor cap and remove the corrosion from the cap and rotor.the vehicle was able to be restarted and was taken to the dealer for service.

Right rear was hanging from underthe mounts. When going over a bump it was hard to keep control. Please provide any further information.

Component crank sensor replaced each time. Vehicle continues to have electronic/fuel related problem.r

The head gasket on the motor leaks antifreeze.this has been noted several times on vehicles that use the extended life antifreeze.the cost to fix the problem is not cheap due to the cost of labor required to remove the head from the motor and replace with new seal.

Every morning when starting vehicleup engine makes noise, and big cloud of smoke comes through the tail pipe.

Vehicle shut off without prior warning while traveling onhighway.dealership is aware ofproblem.

Accelerator or throttle hangs up from dead stop, causing the vehicle to lunge upon acceleration - fuel gauge goes to full mark will not move until fuel tank is almost empty - engine has a sound like the valves are rattling after vehicle has set for 30 minutes or more - vehicle has a bad miss in the engine as if it will stop running this is intermittent most noticeably on inclement days - exhaust has a loud hum at 35 to 45 mph and any time you accelerate to pass or merge into traffic.( dot number: 029056 tire size: p22570r16 )

Engine pings or has spark knock under acceleration or while towing a trailer. Also a spark knock when starting after being warmed up. Transmission will not stay in one gear while towing even on leavel road . Has had no luck with dealer . Dealer always states ( could not duplicate customers concern.) a g.m. Tech. Rep road tested this vehicleand stated all parameters are within factory specs.

While driving vehicle stalls without warning and will not restart, the vehicle was towed to the dealer, per general motors security sensor data is incorrect but valid. Nlm

Engine using a lot of oil, idles rough, lacks power.

Truck makes engine noise (best described as exhaust noise and/or spark knock and/or ping) that is mainly audible between 1000 - 2000 rpm, and is loudest at 45 - 55 mph under light acceleration going uphill.

Crankshaft sensor failed. Yh

I took my truck to the dealership mentioned above. When they hooked the computer up to my truck it showed 2 problems. One is that the egr valve is bad and the other being the catalyticd converter. They are going to charge me $275 + tax. That is with 1 1/2 labor.

Constant loud ticking noise from left side of engine/underbody. Only audible while truck is in gear and under accelleration. Suspect faulty catalytic converter or manifold to exhaust seals. If leaking, could pose health threat. Dealership and chevrolet advised. So far, response is that is the way it was designed. Noise is simply engine harmonics passing through tailpipe. I disagree

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that the exhaust manifold studs detached from the cylinder head causing exhaust fumes to leak from the engine. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

The gas pedal sticks. I have to clean my throttle body out with cleaner about every 1000 miles. Even after a cleaning it still sticks a little. This is a safety concern, because i have to use more pressure on the gas pedel, then it unsticks and the truck lurches foword with no control.

Replaced muffler and pipe assembly due to exhaust system noise. *mjs

I have a loud ticing noise coming from the left rear of the engine. While i was pulling my 5th wheel the noise kept getting louder and louder and had loss of power. By the time we got to the camp ground it sounded like i had lost my mufler. We took it to muffler man of ludington and they discovered that 4 exhaust manifold bolts had sheared off, 2 on left year and 2 on right rear of both manifolds. They took the manifolds off and replaced all the bolts with new ones except for the very left rear was sheared off flush and could not get a drill in to drill out and tap. In order for themto get this out they would have to pull the head which would have cost $1000.00. They put it back together and the tic was gone. This only cost me 6 hours of vacation with my family and $200.00. The tic has returned.

Coat hook broken.

Vibration in drivetrain at speeds less than 45mph.engine only runs 1,000-1,100 rpm's at speeds less than 45mph.transmission shifts into 3rd at approx. 20mph and 4th at approx. 30mph.engine feels like it is struggling at speeds less than 50mph.two different dealerships stated there was a problem, but said that everything was electronic and nothing could be adjusted.a/c is not cooling sufficiently.it only cools on full cool with re-circulation and fan on high.even then, air coming directly from center vent does not get below 48 degrees.i tested two other vehicles and both blew 40 and 42 degrees from center vent.two different dealerships admitted there was a problem, but stated there was no fix.driver-side outside mirror vibrates.dealer replaced twice and both manufacurer and dealer refuse to replace again.weather stripping along ouside bottom of both driver and passenger windows is defective.dealer and manufacturer both refused to correct problem because other stock units look the same.

The 4 wheel drive switch is going bad in my truck and i really never use the switch. Has there been a recall , will chevy take care of this problem?also the pulley or compressor for the heating and airmakes a noise when i use the air system in my truck.i own a 1999 chevy silverado z71, and i feel chevy should help me out and fix these problems.also the fog lights have never worked on the truck and daniels would not fix them for me.

1999 silverado brake system failed, when pressing the brakes they went to the floor. The consumer experienced brake failure on 5 separate occasion.on 2 of the 5 occasions the consumer rear ended a vehicle and the last time the consumer was unable to stop the vehicle and subsequently crashed through a garage door. The consumer stated she was never notified of the recall investigation of the abs. The dealer did admit on the invoice there was a problem, however they refused to fix it.the cd player was not reading the cd's it would issue an error message.

The spare tire carrier broken. *mjs

Consumer was driving north on 495 and he noticed some noises. He looked and saw spare tire flying down the road.consumeravoided hitting two trucks .

Dealer installed wrong towing package. Yh

Under rated tow package.truck rated for towing up to 7200 lbs.tow package rated for towing up to 5000 lbs.tow package purchased from dealer & install as orginal optional equipment.buckley noticed discrepancy in towing capacity between truck & tow package after purchase.buckley called gm customer service number.they told him not to worry about rating on tow package.it is okay to use.he has not used it.

The throttle was sticking, the dealer informed the consumer that the problem with the throttle was a maintenance problem, the consumer searched the owners manual to see if such maintenance was indicated as, but it wasn't, the consumer feels this info should be included in the owners manual.nlm

Vehicle is equipped with daytime running lamps.headlights work off light sensor that automatically switches between day light running lights and head lights.no way to deactivate this feature.once headlights come on with the "auto" feature, there is no way to shut them off without turning off ignition.headlights go on/off during daytime if you are in shade of buildings or trees.annoys other drivers who think you are "flashing" headlights at them.in addition, in some circumstances where you may need to turn off head lamps (at a boat ramp for example) to keep from bothering others, there is no way to shut off head lamps without turning off ignition.

Brake lights had failed, and had not been working for an unknown time period.dealership examined vehicle, and determined that a switch in steering column had to be replaced. Consumer states he also experienced problems with the running lights, both have been replaced four times and still do not work

When applying the brake rear lightswere not working . Dealer replaced them at 40.000 miles. Once again it happened at 59,000 miles. Consumer indicated that vehicle was not any longer under warranty.

Whenever the brakes were applied they would fail to operate properly. This would cause vehicle to have an extended stopping distance. Would have no warning. Taking vehicle to dealership to check brakes out.consumer states that the brake lights did not come on at all.

Rear brake light stopped working. Replaced the fuse, and hit the stop pedal. Fuse once again burned out again. Removed rear lamps. Replaced fuse again hit brake pedal again fuse burned out again. All most hit in the rear. Third brake light does work, other light in this socket does work.

Headlights flicker, at night, dealer stated "this is normal"something to do with the computer recycling every 90 seconds. Sure is annoying

The fuel gauge sending unit failed (i go by mileage to know if i need fuel or not). Driver's side seat belt locks up when you go to look to change lanes (dealer couldn't reproduce the problem--so it's never been fixed). Passenger seat belt locks up if you just lean forward to roll down the window (was told this was a mechanism for a baby seat--didn't think car seats were supposed to be in the front seat). Right side daytime running lamp burned out a long time ago. Abs module failed (had to pull the fuse so the pump wouldn't burn up) therefore the truck no longer has abs. Driver's side front wheel hub failed due to lack of grease in the non-consumer maintainable bearing (the whole hub had to be replaced). The water pump has already failed (replaced that). The transmission is starting to slip here & there. The accelerator sticks causing you to have to jam on it in parking lots & other places where it's just not safe to be darting forward. This model year was just a bad year for gm. They need to fix these problems. This is the worst gm vehicle i've ever owned (and i've been a loyal gm customer all my driving years).

Headlights went out while driving at night multiple times, both hi and lo beams.only way to get them back was to shut off vehicle completely, and this only worked some of the time.problem likely a result of this dealership attempting to fix an instrument panel squeak which caused a short.dealer now attempting to repair.

When the vehicle isstarted the headlights automatically come on ,there is noway to cutthese lights off unless you turning the vehicle off.

The daytime running lights are designed to not be able to turn off at any time while driving, design creates problems on occasions to consumer. Mjs

Driver's daytime running light was inoperative, dealer replaced bulb.

The automatic headlight on feature cannot be defeated if required to turn off headlights at night such as at us customs border crossings which is a requirement. Also the driver cannot turn off headlamps at night in places such as rv parks, drive in movie theaters, parking lots booths etc.

Driver's daytime running light was inoperative, dealer replaced bulb.

I work on a military base and am required to dim headlights when passing through a guard gate.the automatic headlamps cannot be disabled.gm claims this meets all 1999 safety standard and will not fix the headlight system.i have also discovered that the year 2000 model truck can have the automatic headlights disabled on a temporary basis.while i feel this is not directly related to driver safety i think this is an important issue for all the mps, guards, police that expect not to be blinded by drivers approaching a guard gate or checkpoint.thank you for considering this issue.dave schultz.

Emergency brake has been adjusted 4-5 times. When applied, brake holds vehicle, but pedal goes to the floor.also, dealer replaced brake pads.daytime running bulb blew out after it had just been replaced.rear window assembly was leaking, power window was slow going up.transfer case was replaced due to a clunk noise, transaxle shaft replaced due to leaking.front brake hose experienced an abrasion.vehicle was leaning, dealer adjusted front torsion bar.

Dt*:the contact stated the brake pedal became hard to depress at 5-10 mph.a new wheel speed sensor was installed in 2002, but the problem returned.there is a nhtsa recall, # 05v379000, regarding the antilock brakes.the vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however, it is not included in the recall due to the vin.both frnt hub sensors were defective, they were both replaced on each side. Also,replaced rear tail lamp.

Fuel line failed while sitting in driveway due to extensive corrosion after repairing the fuel line and running the truck to check for leak i applied the brakes and the forward brake line failed. The entire under carriage is rusty and all fuel lines and brake lines are completely rusty and will need to be replaced.

When temperature is 90 degress or above otuside, vehicle will let out gas fumes whilenot running.

Fuel gauge worksoff and on mostly off. Ipurchased truck in spring of 2002 and problem startedimmediately after purchase , so i am guessing that the dealer knew of the problem just got lucky that i didn't notice till after the deal was done .have talked to several people with chevrolet trucks all years within 1999 through 2004 andallhave had the same problem.and i have talked to several dealers and was told it would cost upwards of 600 hundred dollars to repair. Sounds to me as there is definitely a problem and it isn't the car owner's that are at fault.there should be a recall on this problem.

Traveling along heard a noise stopped and got out to see that a gas tank strap had busted. Several months ago i had to replace brake lines that had rusted through causing me to loose braking. I am thinking that even though it is older and has miles things on a vehicle should not be rusting through .

Had to replace brake lines all the way to master cylinder and fuel lines from extensive corrosion. Also, throughout the frame and mounting brackets for shocks and leaf springs. Abnormal rust for any vehicle that was washed and taken care of accordingly.

Fuel pump attached to gas tank runs (whines) even with engine off - fire hazard.

Fuel pump, body control module and main computer have been replaced but the vehiclecontinues to stall while driving or not start at all.nlm

Dt*:the contact stated the vehicle made a whistling noise since purchase and would stall at an idle without warning.the vehicle was taken to the dealership where it was determined the fuel pump needed to be replaced.the pump was not replaced, and this component is inoperable and the vehicle has not been inspected by a mechanic.

Fuel pump, body control module and main computer have been replaced but the vehiclecontinues to stall while driving or not start at all.nlm

Consumer states while trying to start car it would not start,took to mechanic, and they stated fuel pump was defective and needed replacing. June 24th problem reoccured.

Have had issues with power loss while driving and lose steering and brakes capabilities. Have replaced fuel pump and fuel connectors 2 times and now again having fuel pump problems as the truck again lost power while driving and steering and brakes did not operate, causing me to nearly hit a pedestrian because of this. This is very dangerous.dates of these incident are12/21/03, 7/13/04 and the latest was 6/5/06.previous repairs were done 12/23/03,7/13/04 and have not yet brought it in to repair again as last incident happened last night.

I was driving at around 35 mph when i tried to brake and the brakes did not work. I tried the emergency brake and that wouldn't work either. I rolled to a stop and called a towing company. When i got out of the vehical there was break fluid leaking on the drivers side of the car. The vehical was towed to the dealership where i was informed that the brake line had bust. I was also told that the feul line was about to bust. The entire break and fuel lines were corroded and had to be replaced. It took the dealership 2 week to repair. The cost was over $2000.

No summary listed for above vehicle.

Accelerator pedal sticks while consumer is operating vehicle.dealership informed consumer thatproblem was with fuel injection system.

Accelerator pedal sticks, and it takes excessive force to move it.has takenvehicleto dealership and been told that problemwas in fuel injection system.

Fuel injectors failed.

While having my brakes checked by my mechanic on my 1999 chevrolet silverado a problem was discovered with the gas tank straps.one strap had corroded completely through and was broken and the other strap was also corroded and just about ready to give away also.this left the gas tank hanging down at least 6 to 7 inches if not more.my mechanic has ordered new straps for the gas tank and temporarily wired the gas tank back up to prevent it from falling off the pickup truck while traveling down the highway.i went to the chevy dealership in town .they informed me that this was the first they have ever heard of this happening and there were no recalls that they were aware of. I than called gm to report the situation and file a complaint on it.i explained the entire situation to them including the mechanics name, business address and phone number that they could call for verification of the information.i was concerned that this situation could happen to someone driving down the highway with a full tank of gas unaware of the problem and have their gas tank fall off causing a fire or explosion on the road.when they asked me what i wanted to resolve the situation.i told the lady it would be nice to get reimbursed to have the problem fixed.she said that probably would not happen due to not having a chevy dealer fix the problem and that the vehicle had too many miles on it. I reemphasized the reason for making this call was a safety concern that i had about this possibly causing a serious accident for someone while traveling down the highway.i also stated that this was too new of a vehicle for this type of problem to occur regardless of mileage and that i felt the problem was due to a factory default.it would be great to get reimbursed for having this problem fixed but it would be greater if the information on this factory default got out and possibly saved someone's life.

Gas gauge is ereratic at best.shows no fuel then pops up to full. Sometimes indicates 1/4 tank of fuel..in reality, the fuel tank is empty.has caused us to run out of fuel on the highway several times.

Abs pump was energized when i startedvehicle and continued to run even after i turned off the key. Only way i was able to stop pump was by removingabs fuse, causing my abs system to no longer be active. Chevrolet said this was a common problem. Alsofuel gauge will intermittently register no fuel after filling up and while riding even when the tank is full.

Bought a new 1999 chevy silverado and the strap on the gas tank has rusted off,which we fell this is a real safety factor, luck have it we were close to home, when you buy a brand new vehicle you don't expect the gas tankstrap to rustoff after just 6 1/2 half to 7 years.could of been very( dangerous)

Fuel sensor failed. Yh

The fuel gauge indicator is showing incorrect readings.consumer states as a result vehicle ran out of gas. Consumer feel this could be dangerous if stranded.took to dealer and they replaced the fuel sending unit.please provide any further information. Ts

Consumer can fll gas tank competley up, and before leavingpump, gas gauge fails to give proper indication of gas in tank. Enginegoes back to empty. Consumer has gotten a few reason as to what could causegas gauge not to givecorrect indication.dealer believes it may cbe related to a computer glitch that causes malfunction.

When starting vehicle the gas pedal gets stuck,then the vehicle accelerates without warning. Dealer notified.ph

Brake lines completely rusted through and caused the brakes and emergency brake to totally fail while driving without prior notice. Fuel lines rusted through as well. Vehical was at dealership 4 months prior for a total maintenance check. Nothing was found.

There is a chronic fuel level sending unit failure, fuel gauge fails.this unit located in the fuel tank fails due to "contaminated fuel in the area attacking and corroding the unit causing it to fail." this is the same response dealers are instructed to give when customers complain about this problem.i have heard this from different parts of the country from dealers from el paso, texas to northern new mexico.

Consumer states the fuel gauge reads incorrectly. As a resultdriver has to use the mileage to know how much fuel the vehicle has.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado.whenever the contact drove various speeds, he heard a squeaking sound coming from the front passenger side suspension.the sound has been present ever since the vehicle was purchased.the vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer.the current and failure mileages were 114,000.updated 8/7/09 the consumer stated the right front upper control arm was the reason for the noise. Also, the gas gauge malfunctioned. It would come on and go off reading low fuel. Updated 08/11/09.

The fuel guage on the 1999 chevrolet silverado would become erratic and would read incorrect fuel readings.cause of this defect is a faulty fuel sending unit, built into the silverado's fuel pump assembly.

Fuel sending unit faulty.many reports on web of same failure due to fuel additives damaging contacts.

Fuel gauge sending unit faulty.fuel gauge erractic.fuel gauge does not respond after filling tank and low fuellight comes on. Im not only one experiencing this problem i knew 3 people with 1899 and 2000 silverados that have same exact problem with theirfuel sending unit.im sure this is a defect.

Consumer had taken vehicle into dealer for routine maintenance and was told thatvehicle had a cracked frame.abs module failed.sending unit module failed.

My fuel gauge does not read correctly. It either reads full (most of the time) or just after i fill up it flips to empty intermitently. This has caused me to run out of fuel a couple of times before i discovered the problem.i now have to use the trip meter to gage how far i have gone.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that when the pickup box was removed, there was excessive rust on the brake lines and fuel tank straps. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the two rear brake lines and the rear fuel tank strap had excessive rust and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000. The vin was unavailable.

Consumer complained about anindicator light problem (shift indicator and odometer). The dashboard was totally digital, and the lightscompletely stopped working.

Dt: the contact statedabsbrakes failed due to faulty left front sensor.when depressing the brake pedal itwent to the floor. The consumer stated the frist time the incident occured he had to pay for the repairs. The second time it failed it was replaced under recall.the second problem was the emcmmodule failed which and caused the abs motor to run even when the engine was turned off.the passenger side door lock was inoperative.the mechanic found the the door lock rod disconnected.updated 12/07/05.

Broken tailgate support cable--should be included in '00-'03 recall but isn't, why.

We purchased a 1999 chevy silverado on 03-27-01.we have never used it for heavy-duty work.on 7-1-04, my husband, driving on a county park road at 15-20 mph, went over a speed bump and the tail gate opened and the right rear cable on the tailgate broke in two. The tailgate, hanging from the left cable, was damaged as it was dragged about 10 ft.the cable, which is covered with plastic, was completely rusted under the plastic cover.the top of the cable cover did not appear to have any open access to water, so it is doubtful that an inspection of the cable would have shown any wear. The dealer told us there was a cable recall for model years 2000 and on, but not the 1999.repair work was our responsibility.he referred us to gm customer assistance.i spoke with a manager, robert beckett, who opened a complaint file#1-232-773-551.he also said there was nothing we could do since we were outside our new vehicle warranty.it was simply a maintenance/wear item.he said he inspects his tailgate cables every time he changes his oil. A man i know who worked for gm for 20 years and has owned pick-up trucks all of his life said he never checks the tailgate cables on any of his trucks, has never heard of anyone who does, and thinks that this manager's implication that it was negligence on our part is unfounded. We purchased two new cables a gm parts dealer and installed them.we still have the defective cable. We feel this accident was a result of a part defect and that gm should be responsible for the entire repair as a result of this accident. Fortunately it didn't break when someone stood on the tailgate, as has happened to other truck owners, resulting in bodily injury, or in heavy traffic or on a highway. This gm manager said there was nothing further i could do.he gave me the address to mail a complaint (chevrolet, po box 33170, detroit, mi 48232) but that it was pointless because the letter would end up on his desk.please help.*la

Tailgate would not stay closed, intermittently it would open. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that inside handle and arm of door was rusted, causing tailgate not to latch properly.

The cables that hold the tailgate up on my 1999 chevrolet silverado pickup are encased in plastic.this plastic holds moisture in and causes the cable to corrode and at the same time hides the corrosion.i was standing on my tail gate and the cables broke, causing me to fall.luckily, i was not hurt, but i could have very easily been hurt.

Our chevrolet silverado's tailgate fell off while driving down the road!

3 months ago the drivers side tailgate cable totally disentegrated and seperated in two parts.knowone was injured, but this could have injured whoever was working on or sitting on the tailgate, not to mention damage the truck.the passenger side tailgate cable in still intact.the failing cable gave no signs of separating beforehand, however no looking at the exposed cable, it appreas rusted through, thus causing the failure.

Tailgate cable recall for 1999 silverado.i understand that an investigation is under was for the 1998 and 1999 silverado for tailgate cable failure.just to advise you that i had to replace of the cable because of metal fatigue in the cable. (rusted right through it).gm has refused to replace the cable as they said that my vehicle was outside of the current recall.my vehicle is the new body style silverado and is identical to the 2000 model.i hope this adds somthing to your investigation.

I bought this truck in ohio for my wife [xxx], she reported that the abs brake would simply not work on accasion and the pedal would go straight to the floor .we took the vehicle in to the dealer but he could not find the problem . At lows speeds i was able to reproduce the problem. Dealers down here say the sensor is bad. We pulled the fuse to disable the brakes when the vehicle was new because a delphi engineer told me that would at least keep the brakes working . I have 58000 miles on my truck and we have replaced the calipers the rotors and even some of the brake lines have rusted rupturing and causing a loss of brakes. The power steering hose line rusted at the cooler radiator. . yesterday the chevy dealer in gainseville called me to the shop to see how the frame is being eaten away , i believe the vehicle either wasn't proberly prepared when built or the protective paints and coating were deffective. The records at jim douglas chevolet evidence the expenses we have incuured to keep the truck operational.the abs module and the loss of break lines seem to relflect extemely poor metal coorosion resistance , even both my tailgate cable rusted and broke .each time i have taken in to the chevy dealer for repair they are amazed at the corrosion problems. Even the tire jack in the passenger compartment was rusted and it was never used. The screws inside the center console were rusted.i spent between 2500.00 and 3000.00 in just the brake problem and that is without trying to fix the defective sensor module.i assure absent a forced recall i suspect gm will not fix this problem. Gm conumer relatios suggested i get a recall number and maybe they could be of further assistance. Thus i am send you my complaint. Sincerely [xxx] . Our vin is [xxx] our model is ck15753 the car was assembled at fort wayne. June 6,1999. Note i selected 25 failures as an estimated of failed componets in the unrecarrage including the brakes and the abs module. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia),

Tailgate cable on my 1999 chevy silverado snapped. Appears to be correded. There is a active recall for this same issue for 2000-2004 silverado's but not for the 1999 model. No damage to vehicle or injuries.

A client of mine, mr. Herman katzel, sustained neck injuries when the tailgate straps of his 1999 chevy silverado 1500, 33d ext cab failed.

There has been a failure by breakage in one of the tailgate support cables, which completely fractured after corrosion.as a result of this happening i observed the second support cable, and see it is weakened by corrision,and will fracture the same way. This breakage occurred after opening the truck tailgate, andfortunately occurred before i was going to jump into the box of the truck.breakage of the second cable will result in the tailgate dropping off, causing possible injury.

I do not receive any re-calls and recently saw where there is one now for tail gates. I replaced one on my own. Also, i went to stop and there were no brakes. After taking it to the garage, it was a hub. Was there a recall on this also that i did not receive? i have a 1999 silverado z71 and only have a little over 50k miles on it.please inform me if there have been re-calls that i am not aware of. We could have all been killed from this hub incident.

While driving tailgate opened without warning.

Tailgate strap broke.have not replaced as of yet, being careful not to load weight on tailgate. *la

Consumer complained about the tailgate support cable. It was replaced 3 times already.

While driving 30 mph trunk popped open.

Dt: the contact statedthe parking brake failed to stop the vehicle. At first the parking brake failedintermittently,but now,it has failed completely. There was a recall on the parking brake,but thisvin was not included in therecall because the contact's vehicledidnot have manual transmission. The parking brake linings have been replaced by the dealership,but he was unsure of how long this will correct the problem. Updated 02/13/06.

Brake pads on emergency brakes have burned up prematurely.dealer has inspected vehicle, and the manufacturer has been notified.

Emergency brake adjustment problem has caused excessive brake rotor wear, affecting brake operation.ts....

For about a month, the park brake didnot hold on hills. An appointment was made on 7/7/2003 with the dealer to repair the park brake.*scc

My trucks parking brake system has been inoperative since 15,000 miles.i have never driven with the brake on and never used the brake in an inappropriate way.i see that there is a recall for trucks like mine with manual transmissions.i feel this is unfair to owner of automatic transmission vehicle.the transmission type should have nothing to do with the parking brake.i have read several other complaints of owners with the same problem as mine....no holding power when parking brake is applied.the repair cost is very high, and i hate to spend the money if it will only last another 15,000 miles!

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 contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that there was excessive corrosion on the frame. The contact also mentioned that due to the corrosion, the brake lines failed. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who stated that all of the brake lines needed to replaceddue to corrosion. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000 and current mileage was 91,000.also, the emergency brake needed to be replaced. Updated 01/10/12

1999 chevy silverado pick up parking brake issue.there is currently a safety recall for manual transmission models only.this recall involves replacement of the parking brake shoes and installation of a revised spring clip.why is this not applicable to vehicles with automatic transmissions ??i realize the parking brake is more critical in a manual transmission vehicle. However, does this make it right to exclude automatic transmission vehicles from such a safety issue??there is too many occurrences of this safety related problem in numerous model years for it not to be properly addressed by gm as a recall/covered repair!

The parking brakedid not work properly. Vehicle was inspected, and the attendant informed the consumer of the parking brake failure.

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

When the parking brake was depressed, it did not hold, due to afailure with the pads. The parking brake would not release.

New emergency brake system pads wore out due toemergency brake failure. Did have a warning light when brakes were on. Took vehicle to dealership. Informed by mechanic it was a wear item. Owner has pads.dealer representative would not cooperate with consumer because he uses the truck for boating.

Parking brake on my truck wore out prematurely causing vehicle to fail texas safety inspection.truck is a 1999 chevrolet silverado and had less than 65,000 miles on it at the time of the failed safety inspection.parking brake shoes were replaced at a cost of about $200.a recall has been issued by chevrolet, but it is only for the manual transmission vehicles, not the automatic transmission.recall number for manuals was 05v161000

Parking break wore out prematurely. Dealer said the noise i heard was from something else. Took truck back several times to no avail. Finally, dealer said i had been driving around with parking brake on. Not true, can't drive 1999 silverado with parking brake on and not notice; bell rings.

The parking brake was defective and wore the drum out.this was discoveredafter the vehicle rolledback.the consumer was inside the vehicle when this occurred.the clip which held the brake shoe was defective. *sc

Consumer states when stopping and activating the park brake, with about 20,000 miles on the vehicle, the vehicle would coast an inch or two and a click could be heard as the transmission positive lock engaged. With vehicle in neutral and the foot brake released, the park brake has no braking effect,also the parking brake foot lever goes all the way to the floor.dealer claims this is the design of the parking brake and there is a self adjusting feature.

Parking brake shoes worn out prematurely. Parking brake will not hold truck. Service manager at dealership and several auto parts store personnel agree thatthis is not uncommon and that there is a design defect. Gm detroit says no special programs available.

Whenever theengine warmed up it caused the accelerator pedal to stick intermittently, the accelerator pedal had to be depressed hard to get the vehicle to accelerate from a stop position. And the emergency parking brake would not hold properly when parked on an incline. Vehicle continued to roll. The dealer was notified.

The bracket that holds the emergency brake shoes to the backing plate is not sufficient, the shoes constantly rub on the bottom of the brake drum which wears it out prematurely, consumer feels that the brake shoes are too small for his vehicle.

The parking brake lever is too close to the dash to easily apply. When applied the lever goes completly to the floor but doesn't hold the truck on a grade.

Check out my other listed complain on this site, the odi id # is 745532. I'm just posting another complaint because i haven't heard a word from nhtsa regarding this issue. Silverado abs modulators need to be recalled! they are getting water in them. There are numerious listing on this site regarding this issue. Nhtsa needs to investigate this issue! it is ridiculous for consumers to take the hit on a failed, poorly designed piece of equipment. The more technology advances the more theses electronic units cost to replace. The direction we're headed in is that ten years from know when a electronic unit fails at a thousand miles over and out of warranty, it will have to sit in the driveway because the average american wont have the cash available to fix it. I had a abs modulator fail at 54,000 mile, the unit would not turn off, even with the key out. I had to pull the fuse to stop it. The dealer would not do a xxxx thing about it and neither would gm. The dealerships are rteplacing alot of these units.that means there is a defect (poor design) with this unit. Anybody with this defect should get a new and improved unit for free regardless of warranty! i have a more descriptive explanation of the problem on this site, again the odi id # is 745532. I'm an engineer and it pisses me off when a company hides behind closed doors when an issue like this arises. It pisses me off even more when a government agency (nhtsa) that is suppose to protect the consumers saftey fails to contact me regarding this issue. I'm beginning to wonder if nhtsa actually read these complaints. I submitted odi id 745532 five or six months ago, may be even longer than that and still no word. Any body that wants to contact me regarding this issue an email me at [email protected].

The emergency parking brake doesn't work.consumer tookvehicle toshop for repairs, anddealer released the emergency parking brake in order for the consumer to drive the vehicle home. When consumer got home, took the emergency parking brake off as was suggested by the dealer.

Rear emergency brake cable is rubbing againstframe off truck.cablewas wearing out,and will eventually break.driver felt brakes mightnot work in an accident if cable breaks. Please provide any further information.

Parking will not "hold"when applied.i live in the "flat land"of georgia so i never use this brake,park gear is sufficient.i took truck to dealer and had rear wheeles "pulled"and inspected..the parking brake shoes were completly wore out.as i don't use these brakes,no one could explain how this could happen..and as truck is out of warrenty it would 250.00 to replace shoes.iam curious and as well apprehensive to replace or repair some thing that i don't know how or when it "wore out"when it's not used!!!

The transmission experiences a constant noise in 2nd gear and 3rd, unable to be fixed.*mjs

Manual transmission locked in gear.emerg. Brk. Cable will not adjust.abs module has noise. Stopped by removing fuse, abs feature not functioning. Trans failed in feb. 2003 @ 65k miles. Repair made by valencia chevrolet in valencia calif. Cost was handled by a extended service warranty. Cost to me after a lot of heated negotiation was 85.00. The agency wanted me to authorize a new trans. And clutch. Cost:3600.00theemergency brake cable failed @21k miles in 2001, the abs module failed @42k miles. In 2002. Neither brake item has been repaired. Valencia chevrolet wants 2300.00 to repair the abs problem, no quote to repair brake cable.

I have a 1999 chevy silveraido the frame has broke . The truck is mint everything but the frame and the brake lines .i have ordered a new frame and will replace .chevy will do nothing.

The consumer's 2 year old son was able to move the gear shift without the brake being applied first, and the vehicle rolled backwards. The consumer stated it was a defect, because according to the manual, the brake must be applied before the gear shift can engage in a gear.ph

Transmission completly failed. Explanation from the dealer was metal seperated in the transmission and that they didn't know why.

A piece of metal fell out of steering column. Also,front end needed alignment due to drifting/pulling right/ 4-wd light keeps coming on. When shifting into gear, rear end would pop, and abs brakes went out when applied. When vehicle is turned off it would still be running. Would restart itand it turned off.

Good morning, i own a 1999 silverado, long bed, with an automatic transmission and i am having a few problems, any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated... First the abs motor continues to run after the engine has been shut off, i had to disconnect the abs fuse so the battery will not get drained. Second the automatic transmission is shifting hard from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd, i am forced to shut the engine off for a couple of minutes and when i restart the engine the problem disappear, i have read your safety bulletins and gm is aware of these problems.my truck looks and acts practically like new except for the intermittent transmission problems and the abs.i had babied my truck since i bought it, and i have owned gm products all my life and i don't think is fair for me to spend thousands of dollars for gm's manufacturing problems... Please advice... Thanks...!!!

Transmission emits an intermittent howling noise during which time torque transfer from engine to drive train is reduced.noice may last from 10 minutes to 10 hours.transmission also occasionaly does not engage when starting from a full stop.dealer first diagnosed as possible faulty transmission pump but did not repair or replace.

While driving 70 mph vehicle stalled.consumer restarted the vehicle, and towed it home.driver will contact the dealer in the near future.

Front ends shakes at 64mph/vibration in rear when you take off. Air sound when you press brakes. Jerks when you get to about 10mph.been in shop 4 times with no repairs made at all.

Dt: consumer states that the overdrive and reverse gears completely went out.had vehicle towed.they repaired the transmission at that time.the same thing occurred again, but it caused more damage.consumer was going to have the transmission replaced.*sb

Since date of purchase, transmission has been vibrating and causing engine to feel like it is under stress/heavy load. Contacted dealer and another chev. Serv. Both advise chev. Knows of problem but does not know what it is or how to correct it. Contacted chev. Cust.serv. Total waste of time. They do not care. Simply state if chev. Tac says they are working on problem what do i care. They will fix it eventually. Problem is if they dont know what the problem is how can chev. Claim it is not a safety issue. Second problem- abs brakes are activating on dry hard surface at speeds under 40 mph. Dealer syays problem does not exist. Stated they called chev. Tac know nothing about break problems so there must not be one. Tried to say that i dont know how abs works. Have had abs for 15 years know it pretty well. It is definitely activating when is should not. It seems that chev. Is not concerned becasue truck was bought and paid for.

Transmission causing vehicle to stall. The first shift solenoid broke and the sencond one cracked, the abs module failed at 73554 miles causing the abs pump to remain on, consumer had abs pump disconnected.*mj

The automatic transmission failed.

Transmission does not shift out of 2nd gear when outside temperature is below 30 degrees.

Abs system motor continues to run whenvehicle is shut off.vehicle has beenrepaired by dealer, howeverproblem still exists. A tsb has been issued on vehicle's make and model.consumer states that the brake now locks up when not pressed.transmission failed at 62251 miles, reverse, 2nd, and overdrive do not work, dealer has recall on this as long as vehicle is under warrany, the reverse drum shell failed, this part was made soft and is replaced by a harder part.

Truck has been at dealer for repairtotal of 35 days before 1st anniv. Of ownership with over 20 separate problems, 5 of which are unresolved to this date. Vehicle is at dealer now for final repair before tn lemon law can be implemented. Worst and current problems are front end alignment (pulls to right), front brake squealing (pads replaced twice, rotors turned once), rear end vibration at any speed and clanking sound over bumps(all 4 tires, both rear leaf spring stacks,all 4 shocks replaced. One shock had broken shaft) , engine backfires & knocks at startup (dealer reprogrammed comp. W/no results except to improve power, but accel. Pedal sticks now!), trans. Slips from dead stop forfew seconds about once per week, 4wd transfer case slipped in low in deep snow (replaced fluid and did reprogram. Results??), ext. Cab pop out windows replaced due to poor fit (one exploded upon removal & dealer had to repaint side of truck. New ones are no better than originals!), rear seat missing rubber mounts(dealer replaced, but now seat makes popping noise due to rear cab wall flexing!), drive shaft makes loud clanking sound when shifting from park(dealer says this normal!). Problems repaired: rear brake line loose & in harms way(missing mount replaced), steering box loose and steering column rattled and loose around any turns(box tightened and column shaft replaced), drivers side window switch sticking in down posit.(switch replaced), all door weatherstrips and drip rail molding loose (replaced all), rear license plate light broken and replaced, door lock levers fell out of both doors(replaced both). Lemon, lemon,lemon!!!!!!!!!!( dot number: )

Transmission failure, transmission's clanking, hard to accelerate, jerking, slipping, and shifting erratically.

Transmission slips out of gear on occasions, on two occasions the key was removed and consumer was exiting vehicle at time of slippage. *mjs

When placed in 4wd mode the truck makes a groaning/moaning noise at approx 9 mph on. If the steering wheel is turned the truck jerks and shudders. This happens on dry pavement and sheet ice, we drive on both a lot up here in alaska. I have a lot of prior experience with 4x4 vehicles and this is abnormal to the point of being dangerous. I have taken it in to the dealer and they have contacted gmc. The service mgr told me that he had talked with a "bob" at "tan" and got no assistance, but was told that this was normal for all 4x4 trucks. The dealer agrees with me that this is not normal and they told me that mine is the third truck in the last few weeks to have this problem, all with no help from gmc. The dealers solution is to not use 4wd unless absolutely vital. But 4wd is absolutely vital driving on the roads here in alaska most all winter, and part of spring. The erratic control feel is very bothersome and i believe a serious safety issue!

Vehicle vibrates between 0 mph to 22 mph.more pronounced when towing trailer.dealer and gm contacted, were advised is common problem, no fix available as of 12-6-99.engineers working on problem.

3rd transmission related failure

On 3 occasions, once around 1200 miles and twice at around 5500 miles, went to accelerate from a standstill, and the truck did not move.engine revved, then slammed into gear, and then truck was able to move.no specific pattern to this, just random.dealer "cannot duplicate the problem".

At 33,000 miles, oct 2002 -approximately 55mph, acted like it was not in gear then the transmission fluid hot light came on.immediately pulled off to side of road - checked transmission fluid, it checked ok and the light went off.pulled back onto highway - it was fine.immediately took to local dealership; they hooked it up to the computer and didn't find anything wrong.in jan 2003, upon acceleration, around 25-30mph, it acted as though it wouldn't go into 3rd & 4th gear.same as oct 2002, but nothing registered on the truck's message center this time.and this time, the problem didn't go away.i took to another local dealer - mechanic drove vehicle and noted the problems.still, nothing registered on the truck's message center.mechanic even hooked up the truck to his computer and drove it while it was still failing.to his suprise, nothing registered on his computer either.they overhauled the transmission - replaced 3rd & 4th gear.they adjusted the bill - as if i purchased extended warrenty.contacted gm - they report there have not been any problems like this with these trucks."sometimes this happens when people make things -it's unfortunate that it happened to you".after that call - i found this site and found a technical bulletin referring to this same problem.very disappointed with only having 36,000 miles since march 1999.

Onsumeris not satisfied with this vehicle.dealership hadvehicle for thirty days over two month period.consumerheard a grinding noise underneath the hood .front four wheel drive differential was replaced. Also, steering wheel had a lot of play, and was replaced with upper and lowershaft/ transmission wouldn't shift into second and third gears. Dealershipreprogramed pcm, and the transmission still doesn't operate at all.the back window flew open from the third door.

Transmissionis shifting hard when shifting from first to second gear while driving in low speed. Dealer can't determine the problem.

Drive train vibration problem is getting worse

Abs module continues to run, abs & brake light on in dash.many others like this.chevy has started installing a different unit, but has not recalled the older units that have failed.

I have had problems with my transmission intermittently slipping when starting to accelrate from a stopped position. This occurs on an infrequest basis and has been happening since i bought the truck. Gm has replaced the transmission and the problem still happens. I went back to the dealer who refused to do anything because they could not reproduce the problem. I then contacted gm's corporate office and i was asked to bring my truck in again for them to replace the kickdown cable. The problem still persists today.

1999 chevrolet silverado shudders at take off between 1st and 2nd gearonly after driven 15 to 20 miles.

Transmission shifting hard form 1st to 2nd.dealer replaced transmission assembly.new transmission shifted hard.dealer reprogrammed truck.one week later, transmission started vibrating in 1st and 2nd gears.dealer reprogrammed truck again.now transmission not engaging in first gear untill rpm's are at or above 1500.

Chevrolet siverado extended cab, 1999 ;abs system failed in june 2003!(transmission broke in summer 2002.couldn't back-up anymore!).

Abs:while braking over semi-rough/rough surface, brakes seem to slip or disengage, causing extreme vibration.transmission:while pulling trailer or accelerating uphill, excessive vibration occurs.steering:while speeds 45 mph+, moderate vibration in front-end and sterring column.suspension:while tiurning wheels maximum left or right, or driving over uneven surfaces, hear a clicking noise in front-end. Rear window:latch does not securely tighten window causing excessive wind noise.

5 service calls on transmission / replaced twice & still venting fluid

I own a 1999 chevrolet silverado 4x4 ext. Cab with a 5.3 engine and have had, what seems to me, to be a strong vibration coming from the torque converter at 40-50 mph.dealer tells me they can't find any vibration even though the mechanics can feel it when driving it.also the rear leaf springs clunk going over even the smallest of bumps.both have happened ever since i purchased the vehicle.

Transmission slips at times. The driveshaft acts as if it to is slipping i called gm and told them what was going on .they told me it was the character of the truck, and it cannot be fix i have talked to other owners of that year and they to have the same thing happening to there truck also.

Other equipment; severe vibration that feels like body flexes between 65-75mph.i have slowed and pulled off onto the should fearing personal saftey.i have brought it to 2 dealerships for a total of 5 times, and spoken with gm customer service, as well aswritten a letter to chevrolet.they claim that it is a new "charateristic" of this year, no fix.powertrain:transmission:automatic - it shifts into overdrive at about 37 mph producing a growling sound, brought to two dealerships for a total of 5 times, no fix.other equipment - clunk noise from front.

1999 chevrolet silverado, [xxx] transmission serviced at 72,000 miles.at 82,000 miles internal failure of transmissions reverse failed completely.complete replacement of transmission made.updated 07/16/2012information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Reprogramed pcmwith update.overdrive comes in at 51mph.fuel milage down to 12mpg.this is just a quick fix by chevy.

Vehicle has a vibration infloorboard.problem has been consistent. The transmission has to be reprogrammed to at least cut down some ofvibration.dealer has notyet found a remedy.

Vibrations have occurred since the day of purchase. Have not been corrected in 3 attempts at dealership. I requested from the chevrolet customer assistance that the regional service manager be involved in repair of my vehicle, chevrolet denied this service.

My truck has 68000 miles on it and i am now on my third transmission. I have the 1999 lt model with the 4 speed auto. One failure was while on vacation trans failed while stuck in traffic. It would not hold pressure. Next failure was only 4 months later lost reverse and 1st gear completly car had to be towed again. Now 3rd trans is not shifting correctly something is not right in these transmissions.

Transmission failure, transmission's clanking, hard to accelerate, jerking, slipping, and shifting erratically.

I own two (2) chevrolet silverados 4x4's - both have the same issue.everyday the service 4x4 light comes on.i have taken both trucks to dealerships and they state that the computer is not indicating that light coming on so just ignore it.just a computer glitch.other transmission problems is loud clanking when placed in any gear from park.*la

Vehicle will not go into drive after it sits for a while.vehicle will start up, but once it goes in driveengine will rev,but no movement. Problem seems to be intermittent. Dealer couldn't find anything wrong withvehicle.consumer is considering getting a second opinion.when hitting bumps and applying the brakes, there is a noise.accelerator pedal sticks, dealer replaced the throtle body.plastic bezel at tailgate handle came off, delaer reinstalled.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated the abs pump and the pcm module were going bad. *nlmthis problem was displayed in1999 silverado's.the problem was, the abs pump continued to run after the vehicle was turned off.(the abs was inoperative)gm representative stated there was no recall, but an upgraded part and the consumer paid for the repair. *scc

Fuel pump, body control module and main computer have been replaced but the vehiclecontinues to stall while driving or not start at all.nlm

Vehicle keeps jumping out of gear.dealer claims it is due to a defective transmission which has been replaced 3 times. Defect keeps reoccurring. Dealer also claims there is no solution.transmission will eventually fail. *ml

In cold weather transmission will not shiftinto 2-3 gear at approximatelly 21 mph. Instead, it will not shift until it reaches 33 mph.cause unknown.

On 2/28/02, i reported to gm that my 1999 chevrolet silverado was jerking & binding when the vehicle rounded corners or in a 180-degree turn.a service manager took this vehicle for a test drive by himself in the parking lot and did a couple of turns and a 180-degree turn.he also found that it did have a jerky or jumping movement as it went into the turn.this front wheel binding may be some type of design irregularity or flaw, which occurs while in the 4-wheel drive mode.since the service manager considers it a normal condition, and nothing can be done at his level to correct this issue, i believe that this irregularity should be further investigated.why, because these erratic movements could jerk, bind, or stop the vehicle at any speed if the steering wheel is being turned and the vehicle in motion. Nowhere in my operator's manual, or on the dash is there any sticker which identifies that this vehicle while in a 4-wheel drive mode will jerk or bind while turning corners.

Transfer case failure while driving.vehicle taken to dealer, and informed consumer that a transfer case mode switch had to be replaced, repairs were done. Feel free to provide any further information.

While in 4 wheel drive front end binds and comes to a stop when wheels are turned.

This is an intermittent problem that occurs unexpectedly. Whenbrake is applied pedal goes to the floor, resulting in no braking power.dealer cannot duplicate the problem.the customer is concerned about safety,since the problem could reoccur anytime in the future.customer had problems with the transmission and rear gears on rear axle.

Rear end locking up, and causing internal damage.manufacturernotified, and informed consumer that vehicle was not covered under manufacturer'srecall. Please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.

I have had my truck which i purchased used in march 2000, with 13,000 miles on it into the dealer numerous times to identify and correct a problem with the rear end making a clunking sound upon shifting and starting from a coasting position.the first time i was told they could not find a problem, the second time i had the service manager ride with me and he heard the problem, they performed maintenance as delineated in a service bulletin covering changing the oil in the rear end.this did not correct the problem, the problem has gotten significantly worse in the last 6,000 miles.i had another gm mechanic look at the problem and he indicated that the rear end was not properly set up at the point of manufacture and to go back to the dealer and tell them.the third time i had the truck in for this problem, once again i had the manager ride we me and hear the noise again and again.they looked it over, and not wanting to tear into the rear end discounted the problem and inherrent to this vehicle and described the problem as differential torque slap.i am quite concerned about this noise, and the issue of warranty coverage.i dont like having to go back time and time again to resolve a problem and told there is none.i bought the truck to drive not sit in the service bay.

Vehicle's rear end locks up when making turns. Took vehicle todealer 6 times, replaced entire rear end. Vehicle was fine for 5 weeks, then vehicle locked up again. Consumer states there is a loud popping sound after starting off, dealer replaced differential case, bearings, and axle seals, problem still occurs.

On jan. 17,2000 we were driving through norman,it was foggy, and we hit a slick spot.i over corrected and the truck spun. We hit the crub with the left rear tire and jumped the crub.it looked to be flat but when we tried to pull the truck off the crub and straighten out to put the spare wheel on it would not move or turn.we had it towed to a repair shop who looked at the damage and fixed it. We filed with the insurance because we thoughtit wasn't covered under warranty.we were told later that the axle should not have bent like it did to begin with.( dot number: tire size: p235/75r16 )

I was hauling wood,well within weight limitasions,when frame bent at rear axle.

Service department for wheeler chevrolet cannot find the cause for the failures, they said they hoped the problems was fixed, however the right wheelbearing had to be replaced again and the brakes failed because of the rotor locking to the spindle when the bearing wore out after less then 30 miles and i have retained a private company to correct the defect and to see why wheelers could not sole this problem, they told me at one point that i shouldn't worry about the grinding noise the bearing prior to this one was making and to drive as normal as you can see by the low milage i dont drive it and until the saftey issue is resolved i will not allow my family to either.

While driving 20 mph or aboverear of the vehicle severely vibrates, cause unknown.the dealer replaced the tires/driveshaft andright and left axleandbearing, which has not corrected the problem.please give any further details.

Excessive shimmy in the front end at approximately 60 to 65 mph.truck has been brought back to the dealership numerous times for repair, but no repair was available.we were told when a repair was available we would be called.to date, there is no repair available.i my opinion it is a hazardous situation due to loss of control, especially in wet weather.we have no idea if the problem is causing other front end damage.the tires have been rotated and balanced, front end aligned and then we brought it back to the dealership as per bulletin #99-03-002 (replaced both front hub bearing assemblies/ right and left rear spring eye bushings, andboth rear shocks).

Whenanti lockbrake system activates on rough surface brakes go to floor. Abs module failed andran alltime. Consumer pulledfuse out andcorrected problem with antilock system.dealer was aware of some major prolems.second problemwas driveshaft. Rear universal joints came apart while driving at65mph. It was taken to a driveshaft shop, and they found no signs of grease injoints.

Date of purchase: 10/14/1998.check engine light appeared first day of pick up.kightlinger motors put new part on the next week.december 28, 1998:took to dealer stating something wrong with front diff.said nothing wrong.1/17/99:front differential snapped, gear box broke.would not warranty!paid 3700 to fix.next week, knocking noise.took in said nothing wrong.took to different dealer.one bolt holding gear box , front diff.

New vehicles need more testing before they are sold to the public.

I am planning on turning this vehicle in on the lemon law. No safety defect listed witin summary.

I purchased this truck used with slightly over 26,000 miles on it with the remainder of the original 3yr/36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty.since the purchase there has been a popping and ratcheting sound coming from the rear end.the differential unit was improperly operating.tried for 22,000 miles to get the dealer to replace the differential unit but was told several times that the unit was fine and the noise was to be expected.when the truck reached 40,000 mile the differential became completely inoperable. Just over 27,000 miles later the differential exploded destroying the entire internal axle assembly.the dealer still refuses to help.the dealer refused to fix the problem for the orignal owner and is still refusing to fix the problem.i have contacted chevrolet customer service and they are trying to resolve this problem.i really did not appreciate the way the dealer has treated me this entire time.they treated me like i was some dum punk kid that just walked in off the street.i should not have been treated this way nor should i or anyone else have to put up with this kind of service.

Driving on highway and drive shaft fell off.no warning of problem.bolts remained in and the shaft just fell out.tow truck driver said never seen anything like this.3000 miles on vehicle, bought aug, 23 1999.also, had vibration and noise from wind shield, had in shop twice for repair, ended up having to reseal the wind shield, dealer had done 3 simular trucks for the same thing.

I took delivery of vehicle on 3-1-99. Noticed front end vibration at 65 mph. Took vehicle back to dealer. I was told it was a goodyear tire problem. They replaced all tires. Problem remained as well as feeling a shaking in the steering on rough or bumpy roads. Took vehicle back to dealer. I was told that it was a drive shaft problem. Shims were placed in the driveshaft. Problem then became much worse. Vibration shook entire vehicle making steering difficult. Took vehicle back to dealer. Shims were removed. Gm knows about multiple problems and their only reply was "in 70 days we might have a fix". In 70 days the driveshaft might come up through the floor of my truck, too. Please look into these problems before someone is killed. Gm sure doesn't care! i have consulted three dealership service departments - two chevrolet and one gmc. They all admitted to having at least 6 or 7 trucks with these problems. Multiply that by the number of chevrolet and gmc dealerships in this country and you will see the magnitude of these problems. None of us can take on gm.please help us.i might suggest that if gm can correct the problems, that they offer a free extended warrantee to all who were affected by these problems.

After having in shop for 6 dys having the driveshaft replaced, 3 dys later, grinding and whining in rear end, differential bad(4th problem in 2.5 months with this truck!)

Have taken vehicle to dealer 4 times and each time they say nothing is wrong.consistently called general motors with no response.when driving vehicle must keep hands in 10-10:30 position to keep vehicle straight.unable at this time to rotate tires thus causing more uneven wearing.one dealer told me this was just normal for cherolet.this is the second z71 in our family and my son had worse problems than mine.at present rate i will be lucky to get 40,000 miles out of tires.firestone inspected (visual only) and said wear was normal, however you can see splits and cuts in treads already.( dot number: w278wma458 tire size: p265/75r16 )

Drivetrain binds up, and will also shake and growl when driving at speeds of 35-55 mph.

While driving a t45mph a lot of vibrations occurs on passenger's side. The side view mirror would shake. Had vehicle in shop 9 days to correct problem. The tires & rims where checked, balanced & replaced. The driveshaft was also replaced. The problem has since returned.

Consumer states vehicle has stalled 3 times within the last 18 months for no reason, the vehicle stops pulling as if the transmission has lost its power train.(idc consulting, leonard philandez on behalf of consumer).

Consumer has had seatbelt repaired under a manufacturer's recall. But, consumer is calling to report thatsafety belts lock up at all times. Dealer has been contacted. The locking up of the seat belt severely restricts the drivers movement, the lock up problem makes it difficult to steer the vehicle and makes it impossible to reach the trailer-brake controller unit, at times the vehicle will not back up, possible transmission malfunction. Consumer can not get the retractor mechanism to release.nlm

While parked on a semi slope vehicle is in 1st gear.key out of the ignition, and the emergency parking brake activated, butvehicle rolled away unexpectedly which may have caused an injury. Dealer cannot determine the cause.possibly clutch is not a proper size for the vehicle.

Every time when taking off, something in the transmission or transfer case makes a loud audible noise. The truck makes a sudden jerk (when accelerator is applied) all is good during operation. When i stop again the whole process is repeated. Maybe the noise is coming from rear end possibly.

1999 gm silverado 71,000 miles. New ventura 246 transfers case has developed a hole. The hole caused the loss of transfer case fluid under vehicle. Dealer and gm customer service content that is not there problem or fault and will not repair under defect of material or manufacturing. Dealer has also noted with gm customer service that the hole was a "puncture" indicating abuse. Local transmission shop (goodale transmissions. Columbus ohio) indicate that this is a common problem with this transfer case. The holes are caused by a retaining spring (used to hold an internal pump? per service shop) break and rub on the inside of the case. Safety issues cased by this failure are possible fire when fluid is deposited on the exhaust system. Loss of rear brakes due to contamination by transfer case fluid. Possible loss of vehicle control if transfer case freezes due to lack of fluid. Repair cost for $900 to $3000 plus. *la

Dt: driver's side safety belt will not extend so it can be used.will not come out of the reel.the other concern were the abs brakes. Had situations while in traffic the abs activatedon their own.this removescontrol from the driver, and is startling when it happens.there is a vibration from the abs.tried to corrrespond with gm,but feot concerns have fallen on deaf ears.no repair has been made as of yet.the seat belt beganto fail on 1-1-03, andthe abs system began to malfunction on2-10-05.

On going problem with the seat belt would lock up on the passenger that they are unable to move, not unless you release the buckle; only the passenger side. Dealer notified and made repairs/ replacement and condition still reoccurring. Please provide any further details:

Driver's seatbelt will intermittently not pull out.

Seat belts were replaced by manufacturer under a recall, replacement belts were of such design that they would not release with slight movement. When going over a bump they would tighten. When first putting on belts consumer has to try a few times first beforebelt extends enough to be buckled up.

Center interior seatbelt will not hold. Seatbelt buckle will contact. But, whenloosening upbelt it will not retract at all.

Front lapseat belts performed poorly.

Both frontal passenger and driver's seat belts were inoperative. Vehicle wastaken to the dealer for inspection, andmechanicdetermined thar seat belts needed to be replaced, and replaced them. However, the problem recurred.

Consumer received recall notification about front seat belt retractors consumer took vehicle in for replacement seat belts, but when she got the vehicle back she states the seat belts did not fit properly, consumer states she is constantly pulling seat belt out of her throat, before the repair there were no problems with the belt sliding into her neck and choking her, consumer states she spends most of her time pulling the seat belt away from her, consumer went back to dealership to try and get the old seat belts back and dealership told her that the reason for the recall was because people were complaing that the seat belt was too tight and it limited their movement, she was told by dealership that they did not know where her old seat belts were and that she could purchase a clip that might help the problem with the seat belt cutting across her throat, consumer does not believe that she should have to pay for a clip, because of a design flaw with their seat belts (daughter on behalf of mother).

This vehicle was rebuilt and the dealer tells me it has a "warranty block" on the vin.i understand why this is done but i am told that this also blocks any recall campaign work from being done under warranty.this vehicle has not had any campaign work done to it.is it legal for gm to not pay for the repairs to the brake system and seat belt system on this truck?

Brakes locked up while the consumer was driving 25-35 mph, causing vehicle to crash into a tree. Contacted dealer who was not willing to do anything.. Consumer has documentation that the abs module malfunctioned, there were 2 injuries, consumer does not believe that the recall on the seat belts was not repaired.

While passenge's seat belt is being used it locks up and will not extend from retracting mechanism, becoming very tight on passenger. The vehicle had been to the dealer three times.the dealer states that there was no use installing another passenger seat belt since it would lock up also.

The recall remedy failed, within 19,000 miles of having the front seat belt retractor recall 01v159000 performed.the failure described in the recall occurred on the passenger side seat belt retractor.

Seat belts will not retract back. Consumer feels this is a safety deffect.

Shoulder portion of seat belt on driver's side is stuck in the retractor.truck was taken to the dealership and repaired under warranty. *ml

While drivng, consumer all of a sudden lost control of the vehicle, which spun around in the outside lane and off the shoulder, the vehicle eventually stopped spinning and was sliding broadside down a steep slope, after hitting several small cedar trees it finally came to a stop broadside against a large cedar tree on the driver side door, consumer stated the seat belt did not restrain the passenger properly causing her to hit the passenger side door, and when the vehicle came to a violent stop the passenger flew across the center console and up against the consumer, the sudden stop and the passenger slamming against the consumer caused consumer to hit his head against the driver side door post, consumer stated when they climbed out of the passenger side door they noticed that the passengers seat belt was still latched, but it had unspooled in the ratched assembly, prior to this accident consumer received a recall notice (c00045-s) on march 16,2001 regarding the seatbelts, however when consumer would try to make arrangements there would always be an excuse, finally on june 6, 2001 consumer was able to get an appointment for the seatbelts, consumer doubts if the procedure was done, or if so, it was not done effectivly.

A manufacturer'srecallon both front seatbelt retractors. Vehicle taken to dealer for repairs, less then a week later,driver's retractor failed to retract.

When going over a bump the retractor on the passenger side seat belt will lock and not let go. Creates a very uncomftable ride for the passenger and possible injury.

Consumer's daughter was in a car crash. Passenger's seat beltdidn't hold.the passenger and driver were ejected from the vehicle.also,airbags didn't deploy.

Seat belt retractor will not operate justas was stated on two recalls that consumerhad received on seat belt retractor.

Shoulder belt slidesdownshoulder and arm whenever the vehicle turns a corner. Dealer can't fix it.

Driver's side seat will not slide back or forward or will stick in one position on slidingrail. Contacted dealer.

Adjusting front driver seat when adjusting lock broke sending seat sliding forward.seat will not lock just slides back and forth when driving.since safety belt restraint is in the seat and not bolted to the actually frame of truck seat slides back and forth during braking and acceleration.not safe to drive until fixed.the broken piece is a three inch piece of plastic.i really don't feel safe now in knowing that the only thing restraining me from crashing into the steering wheel and into a inflating airbag during a front crash is a piece of plastic that could and will at any time break for no apparent reason except for the fact that chevrolet has a design flaw and still does not feel they should issue a recall to have this replaced with something that would provide more security than a piece of plastic.and the kicker is the tech at the dealer claims it takes 2.5 hours to replace the locking adjuster at the rate (my bill was $230 just for the labor) and the part cost ranges from $150 to $200 depending on where you get it.outrageous if you ask me.i called chevrolet customer service and was able to get my part for free but still had to pay labor to have it installed.i have a 1999 silverado but it only has 11,000 on it so the part definitely did not break due to wear and tear.so i guess after a few people are seriously injured or killed maybe someone will actually do something about safety issues such as this and make the manufacturers of these vehicles with safety issue responsible. *la

A little plastic latch that is suppose to reposition the drivers seat in the same place after access to the back seat broke. With out it there was no way to lock the seat in place so it just slid back and forth freely.

Seat position mechanism on manual adjust 60/40 bench seat failed causing seat to unexpectably move forward during a panic stop.the seat moved from rear most position to front most position.during this event the seat belt also failed to restrain the driver. No injuries were present.

Driver's seat is no longer working properly.when the gaspedal is depressed seat slides backwards.when the brakes are depressed, the seat would slide forward.consumer has made an appointment with the dealer to examine the problem.this problem has happened numerous times in the past six months.

Front drivers seat will not slide all the way back after you have tilted it forward and put it back. It seems to hang and not move backward until you play around with it. Then the seat will not lock in place when you make an adjustment, then you have to kind of force it into a locked position. Also the seat rail has looseness in it.it fails every time you make a seat adjustment.

The driver's seat track is broken. It is very difficult after accessing the rear seat to get it to lock in place. Somtimes slides forward or backward without warning. Seat tilt adjuster also broken, just flops on floor. Dealers are not very helpful. Huge safetly issue.

The seat locking device broke while braking allowing the seat to rush forward.my knees hit the bottom of the dash. If i were in a high traffic area, a wreck may have occured.

Seat track broke whileconsumer was driving, and when it brokeseat went forward withconsumer, and ran into the steering wheel. Contacted dealer, and dealer was not willing to do anything.

Drivers seat locking mechanism broke.when brakes were applied, driver was thrust against steering wheel.seatbelts do not help as they are attached to the seat.seat slides forward and backward freely.i feel this is a severe safety concern due to the fact that you cannot control the vehicle when you are unable to stop the seat from flying you forward.the locking mechanism should never break.the chevrolet dealer calls this a seat adjuster, but is a piece of plastic that has the locking pin in it.a piece of plastic to hold a seat in its place is totally stupid.

While driving home in my 1999 silverado with manual control seats, i had an uncommanded release of the driver seat while braking. Upon investigation a part of the seat was found broken off and laying in the seat track. There was no adjustments performed to the seat prior to the failure occurring.

Two plastic pieces cracked which caused the driver's seat to move forward and backward. This could cause loss of vehicle control and result in a crash..

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. While driving approximately 35 mph hauling a trailer, the front and rear brake hydraulic lines failed. The contact was able to stop the vehicle by using the brakes on the trailer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact, an experienced mechanic, diagnosed and replaced the brake lines. On a separate occasion while driving 50 mph, a plastic component of the driver's seat fractured and caused the seat to slide back and forth into the steering wheel. The failure was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 58,000. The vin was not available.

Lock for drivers seat has failed twice

Driver seat bottom would move forward while driving.dealer replaced seat adjuster.

While braking the drivers seat broke.*nlm

The drivers side seat "adjuster" that retains the front seat position when the rear seat has been accessed, failed, resulting in the inability of the drivers seat to remain in a fixed position. This condition allows the drivers seat to slide back and forth depending on accelerating or braking. The part is a white plastic (most likely polypropylene based), and is not of sufficient strength for it's job. Plastics tend to get brittle with age and this may be part of the problem.even though this failure occurred while i was stationary, accessing the rear seat area, when i did attempt to park the vehicle in my driveway, knowing full well the seat was not secure, the very slightest touch on the brake pedal sent me flying forward and i banged my knee on the dashboard!this is most definitely a "safety issue" as there are 16 complaints already on the nhtsa web site for 1999 sliverado's with this same problem!i have contacted chevrolet's customer service department and they advised me to take my truck to the dealer. I told them it is unsafe to drive and would they pay for a tow? they told me i am responsible to get the vehicle to the dealer for "inspection" and then they will evaluate the problem. I said, "there is no more evaluation needed than the fact the part broke and it is unsafe" this is a safety defect and i have seen recalls issued for less serious issues.i feel nhtsa should look into this problem and mandate a recall on this problem. Some owners have had this happen more than once! will nhtsa wait until someone is seriously hurt or killed before they act?*ph

Dirivers side seat failed to stay locked in position and slid forward when brake wasapplied. This cause me to be thrown foreward with all my weight on the brake petal. If not for the seat belt and no one following close behind it could have been very serious.

Has been out of service for 15 days in less than 1 yr.vibrations, comp reprogrammed 2 or 3 times now mileage decreased, clunks from rear end and on left turns, padding in seat failed, rear slider frame cracked and leaks.dealer got replacement windows but they were cracked too. Still not fixed.dealer couldn't fix some after repeated tries, had to go to another dealer to finally get some fixed. Side view mirror glass fell out.what's this truck going to be like a year from now?

Inner seat adjuster on driver's side broke on my '99 chev silverado extended cab truck, having 34,000 miles, allowing seat to move forward and backward on rails without restriction.seat belt is part of seat thereby resulting in the driver to be moving forward and backward on seat rails without restriction.seat of course does stop in the further most backward and forward ends of seat rail.chev dealer lists part as "inner adjuster" part #14691.the part is sold as a whole according to the dealer and retails at about $149.00.what appeared to break was a plastic piece that fits in the rail and which would seem to be the part that halts the seat in the position chosen by the occupant.i still have the broken piece as recovered from my floor board.i had been having problems for a week or so with the seat not moving forward and backward when attempted by adjustment lever.i assumed i had something under the seat impeding movement, but was actually due to the aforementioned problem.

Driver's side seat broke four times. When consumer drives and puts on brakes,seat flies forward.when he pushes on the gas pedal, seat flies backward. Tracks are broken, and consumer cannot control vehicle. No accident has yet occurred.also, windows are loose, dealer has tried to fix several times.manufacturer has been of no help.*ml

Wouldhave no abs brakes after pressing on brake pedal. Hadfuse removed due to abs pump continuing to run.abs module had shorted out. Have taken to mechanic, butwarranty expired. Drivers side window will not roll up, there was a popping noise when backing up and turning, dealer replaced lower ball joint, passenger side window leaks, leather seats are torn, cruise control module was replaced, dash panel parts inoperative, also cup holder rattles and the right back window leaks.

Drivers seat failed to lock into position, this was second occurrence.when brakes were applied, driver was thrust against steering wheel hitting chest and face and injuring wrist,knees hit the dash, seat ran onto left foot.seatbelts do not help as they are attached to the seat.when driving, seat slides forward and backward freely.when the brakes are applied the seat slides forward, causing the foot to hit the brakes harder, thereby causing an abrupt stop.luckily my children who were passengers at the time had their seatbelts on or they would have hit the dash. Most vehicles never have this occur in their lifetime, but this has happened twice within a year and a half.first time was august of 2000.cost to replace is over $500.i feel this is a severe safety concern due to the fact that you cannot control the vehicle when operating, especially when stopping.the seatbelts don't help as they are attached to the seat.major concern for me is if i am in an accident these brackets will not hold!!!i am a 120 pound woman, i do not adjust the seat often, i keep it positioned all the way to the back.my normal wear and tear could not have caused these railings to break.i have children who will be coming of age to drive.what would happen to a less experience driver?what if passengers didn't have seatbelts on?what if i was hauling a trailer?what of the force of the added weight of the trailer when stopping?what of the contents on that trailer?what if i have a minor accident, say a rear end collision, will my seat hold me in place?i don't have faith they will!because this has happened twice within a short period of time and on a fairly new vehicle, i believe the dealership or chevy should repair at no cost to me.there are no airbags that inflate for protection, it is a solid impact. If someone from chevy should hit their steering wheel one time like i did, i think they'd take this issue very seriously.

Plastic seat-locking device on driver side seat broke in half inside rail causing the seat to slide back and forth without any restriction thereby preventing the seat from locking into position.had noticed several times that the chair had difficulty lokcing when seat was adjusted to gain access to back seat.

Inferior white plastic part in driver's seat track of 1999 chevy silverado 1500 failed, causing driver's seat to slam into steering wheel after quick stop at low speed.gm svc. Says there are no other reported failures, i find this hard to believe.

While attempting to adjust the driver's seat in my 1999 chevrolet silverado pickup truck, i found the seat would not lock in place. Moving the seat back and forth in an effort to lock it, something appeared to break causing the seat to move quickly forward, pinning me against the steering wheel.i later found a small plastic fragment on the floor and assumed it was part of the track locking system.the seat now was completely free in its movement forward and backward, extending to the limit in each direction.i took the broken piece to a local dealer who explained that it was, indeed, part of the "seat adjustment" mechanism, and, when broken, the seat would move without restriction forward or backward.when i questioned why such a critical piece of equipment was not made of metal (instead of plastic), i was told that "yes, it should have been."had this failure occurred while driving, it could have caused serious, if not fatal, consequences.once the part breaks, any application of the brakes will immediately slam the driver forward into the steering wheel with considerable force.the opposite effect is also felt when accelerating.i was very fortunate that the part broke before i had left the curb. This is a very dangerous design and system.these parts should be manufactured from hardened steel instead of plastic material (even nylon.)at best the surprised driver is immediately and totally distracted; at worst, he is totally incapable of maintaining control of his vehicle, being slammed forward and backward as he applies braking or acceleration.the cost of repair of this condition is approximately $400. And should not be borne by the consumer.general motors should address the type of material used in the manufacture of these parts for future vehicles, and recall and replace them on older models.note: my vehicle has less than 56k miles.

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

Drivers seat will not lock in place at after locking piece broke during regular use. Seat moves forward and back as you brake and accelerate.

Was trying to adjust driver's lumbar seat with lever whenlever broke in half. Pulled vehicle over to check out seat. Noticed a piece of white plastic with metal inside was broken.

Driver's seat separated fromtrack, causingseat to move unexpectedly when applying accelerator orbrakes. Dealer was inspectingvehicle.

The power seats clunk all the time everyday and the steering wheel vibrates/grinds

Consumer states the driver seat adjuster is broken causing the seat to move backwards and forwards when pulling off and braking. Ts

Driver & passenger power seats slope forward and back at start & stop 3/8 to 1/2 inch. This causes erratic operation of accelerator & brake. Also seat belts are anchored within seat base. I feel this would give me a flying start in event of a crash. Vehicle has only 68000 miles. Feels unsafe.

(1) steering: vibrates when going over bumpy roads or bad roads. Happens when slowing down or going around corners. Would move & make clattering noises. Dealer said vehicle is not under recall even though experiencing the same problem (98v242000). (2) driver's power seat track brackets would move or shift & make clunking noises when getting in or out of seat. Seat would rock back & forth. Dealership will not repair the tract or brackets on power seats. Owner wants vehicle inspected for vibration problem but not by dealership.

Corrodedbrake lines. Completely rusted and leaking. Under side of truck is ok other than the lines.

While approaching intersection put on brakes and they failed, pedal went to the floor. If i had not been a test driver for chrysler corp. And doing lots of brake and suspension work i could have easily been seriously hurt. The brake lines were shot, rusted through. This vehicle has spent it's life in fl. No salt on the road. I know you have ruled on this being a recall, but i think you made a huge mistake, someone will be killed by this.thanks

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. While driving approximately 5 mph, the brake pedal was engaged and there was no response. In order to come to a complete stop the gear was shifted into a low range and the emergency brake engaged. The failure occurred when braking at low speeds. There was recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number 05v379000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock). The manufacturer was notified of the problem and they informed the contact that the vin was ineligible for the recall. The vehicle had not been repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact was driving approximately 5 mph when the brakes were applied and they abnormally traveled to the floorboard.the contact inspected the vehicle and noticed that the brake lines were corroded, which would require replacement. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The contact replaced the brake lines himself. The vehicle was repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 280,000.

On 06/07/2013 driving 55 mph tried to stop and had no brake. Had to run off road to keep from hitting cars ahead of me. On 5/30/14 front brake line left go while backing up on boat ramp to load boat. I almost went into the lake. The metal brake lines are all rusting and chevy should be held accountable before i die.thank you

I went to step on my brakes at a stop sign and my brake line blew out due to corrosion! i wentright through the intersection.

I was moving the 1999 chevrolet silverado 1500 in my driveway to make room to move another car. I backed the truck into my turn around, then put the truck into drive to move it forward a little. When i pushed on the brakes to stop the pedal went halfway to the floor stopped them went clear to the floor. I had no brakes, other than the emergency brake on the truck, which i used to stop the truck. After getting the truck stopped and to a spot i could inspect it. I discovered that two brake lines had burst and were leaking fluid onto the ground. The breaks were not in a bend in the line where they seems to typically happen. They were in a straight section just underneath the drivers side door where the lines run along the frame. Upon further inspection i noticed that all the brake lines were as heavily corroded as the section that had burst. Luckily this happened in the driveway as i was preparing to leave in the truck.

While driving my 1999 chevrolet silverado on friday, may 10, 2012, at approximately 15 mph, i attempted to stop at a stop sign. The brake pedal went to the floor and i needed the emergency brake to come to a complete stop and return to my residence (fortunately only approximately 1/2 mile away). I was able to get an appointment to have the truck examined at classic chevrolet (approximately one mile away in bellevue, pa) on may 15, 2012. I was then informed all the brake lines needed replaced due to corrosion along with the two front calipers. Total cost to me was $1,228.00!

Hit brakes and pedal went to floor. Fortunatley we were not in traffic and had just pulled onto a residental street.. Our tow bill was $150 and repairs were $131.12. I am using my sons email as we do not have a computer.

I was traveling down hill on a four lane road, two lanes oncoming traffic when a vehicle in front of me brake suddenly. I applied the brakes, but my foot pushed the pedal down to the bottom of its travel. The vehicle slowed down enough that so that i avoided colliding with the vehicle in front of me. With the help of an auto mechanic, it was determined that the brakes failed because the brake lines had completely rusted out. I had all of the brake lines (front and rear) replaced by an independent mechanic. Currently the vehicle runs fine but there are some issues with the abs locking up in 4 wheel mode (not sure if the brake line failure is the cause). Note: did not report this incident to the authorities because there was no resultant accident.

I own a 1999 silverado ext cab 4x4 and the frame is rot in many different places the driver and passenger mid sections are half gone and now the rear sections under the bed are rotting to the point to where the is no good metal left the bed buckled and is hitting the cab the rest of this vehicle is in very good condition but the frame is gone.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that the brake lines were rusted. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where the failure was confirmed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage and vin was unavailable.

Driving along road, brake pedal went to the floor when i attempted to stop. Upon inspection, discovered that the hydraulic line going from the abs module to the rear brakes had ruptured due to corrosion. Upon further inspection it has been determined that all of the hydraulic brake lines are swollen and corroded to the point of failure and must be replaced at a cost of over $1200. My truck has not moved since, as i cannot afford to repair this issue.

Brakes failed on my 1999 chevrolet silverado in september of 2012 as i approached a four way intersection.i was unable to stop the truck and went right through the intersection.fortunately, the intersection was in a rural area and there were no other cars around or there would have been no way to have avoided an awful accident.chevrolet dealer said the rear brakes line had failed and fabricated a stainless steel brake line to replace the original.the incident cost me $1500 to replace the brake lines.the silverado had approximately 90,000 miles on it at the time.in another report to the nhtsa, i reported that the front brake lines had failed about five years earlier and resulted in another horrifying inability to stop the silverado.

Steel brake line ruptured while applying brakes in parking lot.after inspecting the steel brake lines; they appear to have severe corrosion issues throughout the braking system.i believe all brake lines needs to be replaced due to severe safety concerns with the remaining steel brake lines.i am glad that the brake line burst at a low speed and not during a fast stopping situation.

We were traveling through sheboygan wi towing a 24-foot long fifth wheel rv behind our 1999 silverado. At about 2:00pm on july 9, 2013, we were traveling at about 30mph down a grade on wisconsin highway 23 toward the intersection with i-43 business route, both highways are 4 lanes with left turn lanes and there is traffic light control. When i went to apply the brakes to stop for the red left turn signal, there was almost no brake effect. I was able to rapidly pump the brake pedal enough to stop,but ended up about 5-10 feet into the cross-traffic lane. Fortunately, the traffic was light at the time and as a result, no accident occurred. After creeping our units into a parking lot, i checked under the hood, found nothing there, then checked under the vehicle and saw a puddle of brake fluid. By using the emergency brake and traveling slowly, we made it to the chevrolet dealership. They examined the vehicle and reported that several of the brake lines had corroded badly where they exit the central control block of the brake system underneath the truck. They were leaking slowly and at least one of them had finally failed. We had purchased an extended warranty on the vehicle, but, unfortunately, it would not cover part failures due to corrosion. There was nothing in the owners manual addressing the problem of brake line corrosion and the service representatives at the sheboygan chevrolet dealership offered no information. When i discussed the problem with the service department of ed bozarth chevrolet in topeka, they offered no explanation. This cost us $935.66 to repair and very nearly resulted in serious bodily harm to my wife and myself. General motors should have been warning chevy owners about this problem as well as reimbursing those affected.

My home is the last one on a dead end road. When applying the brake to turn into the drive, the driver side brake line burst by the caliper. The truck carried my wife, son and myself into a 200 ft. Deep ravine as a result of this. The truck had just been tuned up for a trip to nashville tn. If this would have happened in the mountains, i wouldn't be alive today. After repairing the truck, the passenger side brake line burst as the new brakes were being bled. Both calipers needed replaced as well, due to falling apart from rust. Bleeder screws completely rusted in half, rubber brake hoses bursting, metal brake lines rusting and springing leaks everywhere, and still no recall? gm should have to pay for these repairs at the very least. I myself, still have to figure out how to deal with my newly fused spine due to this accident.

Pushed the brake pedal and was not able to stop due to a blown brake line. This was my first incident, but the second for the truck. This issue occurred when my father owned the truck and he had gm replace the brake lines. I had gm replace the brake lines for a second time. It's very scary not being able to stop a vehicle, but luckily i was on a highway and was able to drift over to the shoulder.

The brake lines are very rusty which has caused the brake line to break and cause the brakes to fail.

I was pulling into a parking place and as i stepped on the brake pedal it moved up and down real fast and it got real hard. The brakes failed to stop. I hit the car. The same exact thing happened to my wife and she hit a handicap sign. I contacted chevrolet and was told that my truck is not in the recall. The recall described the exact problem that our truck is having.

Abs failure to stop vehicle. Accident occurred.

Going to work at stop sign brake pedal went to floor lost all stopping power. Brake lines rusted away.

In 2013, the abs began routinely activating during braking at speeds of 5-10 mph. I found recall 05068: unwanted abs activation.my gm maintenance records noted this recall service was completed 3/31/2006.the 3/31/06 service notes were "inspections: electrical/wiring."i contacted gm corporate customer service in jan.2014 to notify them that currently my abs were erroneously activating on nearly all braking events.additionally, i asked what recall service was actually performed on 3/31/06 because the notes only indicate an inspection occurred.a conference call ensued between gm customer service, the local gm service dealership, and myself.gm allowed 1 hour to diagnose the abs problem on 1/22/14 at the local gm dealer.the resulting 1/22/14 service notes were: "diagnose & found left front wheel speed sensor dropping out.inspect wiring for poor connections or damaged wiring.all ok.gave estimate to replace left front wheel hub assembly."in person, the dealership said this bearing was worn & was causing abs activation.i left upset, without the $642 wheel hub assembly install because i didn't believe the bearing was worn.on 5/30/2014, i had another service shop independently diagnose my trucks bearings, tie rods and suspension.they confirmed my original belief that the bearings did not need to be replaced.i did have both inner tie rods replaced at this time.on 6/17/14, i took my truck to a 3rd service shop to have them complete a front end alignment because inner tie rods were recently installed.i also asked them to determine if this bearing was worn.their opinion was the bearing was ok and no maintenance was required.in summary, the gm service shop had opportunities on 3/31/06 and 1/22/14 to complete the recall remedy and failed.i have removed the fuses to disengage the abs and prevent an accident because this condition still exists.

Driving on two way street attempted a right hand turn applied brakes, peddle went to floor, attempted to pump, truck slowed to stop.noted large amount of fluids on road. Truck was taken to mechanic, found brake-line had burst on left front wheel. After inspection noted that all brake-lines looked like kfc chicken were all corroded and brittle. Mechanic indicated that this was a extreme safety hazard. Recommended that i contact dealership and report incident. Also, fill our and file a vehicle safety complaint.i was not informed by gm that there maybe a problem that has been on going and after looking into it have found both gm's cavalier attitude, and the governments not requiring at the very least a notification never mind a total fix to be required of gm a serious breach of confidence in my government to provide for the safety of its citizens.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado.the contact stated that while driving approximately 28 mph and approaching a red light, the vehicle would not stop or slow down when applying the brakes. The contact stated that the vehicle drove through a busy intersection nearly crashing into two oncoming vehicles. The contact was able to stop the vehicle by shifting into park. The contact inspected the vehicle and found that the brake lines under were corroded. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer.the manufacturer was notified and no solution was offered. The failure mileage was 107,000.updated 2/27/14the consumer stated the main front and back brake system lines coming from the master cylinder were corroded and had ruptured. The consumer indicated that the car had been garage kept and was in great condition. The vehicle was repaired. The consumer saved all removed lines for investigation.

I have a 1999 chevy silverado and at low speeds my anti-lock braking system engages which causes my truck to stop later or further than anticipated. This has been an ongoing problem for about 6-8 months. I called general motors to see about a recall and was told that there wasn't a recall. My boss has a 2002 silverado and he is experiencing the same problem. The only thing we can do is to pull the fuse and the brakes will act like conventional brakes.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. The contact was traveling 55 mph when the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle failed to stop. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic. The mechanic confirmed that the brake line ruptured due to corrosion. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired and the vin was unknown. The failure and current mileages were 130,000.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. The contact noticed a noise coming from under the hood while parked. The contact inspected the vehicle and discovered that the anti-braking motor remained in operation while the engine was powered off. The contact disconnected the battery in order to power off the anti-braking motor. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician advised that the anti-braking motor would have to be replaced. Some time later while the contact was driving approximately 5 mph and depressing the brakes, the brakes would not respond. The dealer was made aware of the failure and advised that the vehicle was included and previously repaired under nhtsa campaign id number: 00v345000 (service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings). They would not provide any assistance in repairing the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

I was driving to work when i came to a stop sign i applied the brakes and the pedal went to the floor the truck slowed very little i had to pull off the road to avoid hitting the car in front of me. The mechanic replaced one corroded brake line that burst. The truck stopped good for a month. The next incident happened when iwent to back out of my driveway i applied the brake and the pedal went to the floor board and it would not stop at all i rolled into the street and rolled to a stop, brake fluid was everywhere another brake line corroded and burst two of my neighbors pushed the truck back in the driveway and it has sat there for last three months hoping for chevy to recall. I called the chevy dealer and explained the problem they told me that was impossible and that the truck is designed to stop even if a brake line fails. They are wrong!!! i guess it will take a bunch of wrongful death lawsuits before they wake up. From what i'm reading from other chevy owners they feel the way i do, losing faith in chevy! i wouldn't be able to sleep at night if i knew people could die using one of my products. After it's repaired i will trade it for a ford truck and still feel guilty whoever buys it may be injured or killed.

I started the vehicle, depressed the brake pedal(normal)to shift into a forward gear, subsequently applied the brake pedal, but this time the pedal traveled all the way to the floor. Brake efficiency was drastically reduced, but did stop the vehicle after several feet, albeit from a very slow speed. Subsequent inspection revealed that all brake lines leading into the abs module, located on the left underside of the vehicle just aft of the driver's door, were severally corroded; one of the lines leading to the module was ruptured. When the brake pedal was depressed, brake fluid streamed from the ruptured line.

I as driving my 1999 silverado to work . Approaching a traffic signal ,i applied brakes and felt the line let go as my pedal went to the floor. My mechanic was shocked at the amount of rust under my truck with only 40000 miles. I had already replaced rotted rotors,abs sensors,etc. More recently i had two other brake lines fixed.really dont feel safe driving this anymore. Gm should recall pronto before someone gets killed.

Went out to get into my truck to go to work. We had just had a snow storm and when i backed out of my drive i got stuck trying to get to the street. I went to put the truck into drive from reverse. So i hit the brakes so that i could shift into drive and when i hit the brakes they went to the floor. I tried pumping them with no success. So i pulled the truck back into the drive and noticed a big puddle of brake fluid under the truck. I parked it and drove my tahoe to work. Came home from work that day and pulled the truck into the garage and looked underneath to see what had caused the issue. I found all the brake lines had just crumbled to pieces. Thankfully i was not on the highway or in heavy traffic when this failure occurred. I have ordered a prevent stainless steel replacement set to replace all the brake lines with. This is clearly an issue gm must deal with.

Brake lines along frame rail rusted through causing brake pedal to go to the floor and loose braking power.

Brake lines sprung a leak and drained fluid while driving at least i was only going 20 mph.

I drove my truck earlier in the morning, to run an errand.i returned home, and after about an hour i headed back out.as i was backing out of my driveway, i noticed the brake pedal felt soft.i drove down one house and applied the brake again, and the pedal went to the floor.upon returning to the house, i observed a puddle in the driveway, and upon investigation under the truck, saw fluid had been leaking from corroded lines under the drivers side of the cab.i took my wife's vehicle to work and did some research.i found that this has happened quite a bit to silverado owners.i had the vehicle towed to a local mechanic and am waiting to hear what the bill is going to run.regardless of what the bill runs, i am thankful there were no kids running around in the neighborhood, as it was a school day, and that i was not on i-95 when the brakes failed.this could have ended much worse.the fact that the truck is paid off is only going to keep me from buying a new vehicle, (i'm thinking ford?) for so long if the issues keep up.

Complete and total brake failure, without warning, from burst brake lines caused by rust in the lines from master cylinder to the junction box under driver's seat.i had this problem previously in the brake line from junction box to passenger front wheel two years ago.the previous rupture was in the same area, but not the same spot as this failure.i have kept visual checks for extensive rust on the other lines since then.however this new failure was where the line went through the cab to the frame, out of clear sight and behind inner fender liner.i had backed vehicle and a trailer down boat ramp to recover ski boat.vehicle stopped normally at water edge and boat was loaded.upon applying brakes to take vehicle from park to drive, brake pedal went completely to floorboard.i drove vehicle and boat up the ramp slowly into parking lot where i attempted to stop on flat ground. Vehicle rolled to a stop with brake pedal completely on floor.in order to get home, i removed fender liner and made emergency repairs with store bought brake lines and splice connectors.only the line from the firewall side of the master cylinder originally failed, however in attempting to remove that broken line, the front line also had extensive rust and also started leaking.the break in the second line was within an inch of the other break. It appears the driver's side front wheel throws water, salt and debris on all lines where they run down frame through body cavity and along frame rails.most extensive rust is located in plastic clips that stabilize brake lines to the frame.brake lines are vital safety features, not wear items and should not fail for the life of the vehicle, in my opinion.

After a sudden stop due to tailgate falling down and cargo in the back falling out i reloaded the cargo and started down the road.when trying to stop further down the road, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor without stopping the vehicle.i coasted to a side road and eventually stopped.looked under the hood and saw brake fluid sprayed all over the front of the engine compartment due to a failed brake line.repair shop indicated front brake line had rusted through and that all brake lines were very rusty and needed replacement.

Driving home last night when i approached the driveway, the brake pedal went to the floor. Brake fluid was running down the gas tank. Further inspection this morning indicated the line had burst just above the tank from corrosion. All steel lines are rusted and need to be replaced. Also the frame is rusting so bad it looks like the pictures of the titanic.

While bringing vehicle to a stop, brake pedal was depressed as normal but the pedal went all the way to the floor.steel brake line burst and fluid was dispersed on the ground.all steel brake lines were extremely rusted.i replaced entire original steel line system with new stainless steel lines at a cost of $596.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. While driving 20 mph and attempting to engage the brakes, the accelerator pedal went to the floor and the brakes failed without warning. After inspecting the vehicle, the contact discovered that the brake line was corroded. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence where he discovered large amounts of brake fluid leaking from various spots on the brake line. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 138,000.

Brake failure, upon leaving my home i approached hwy62 to make my stop at the end of my street, when i applied the brakes it began to slow then the pedal went to the floor and i was forced to go ontostate highway 62 without stopping. I was lucky that no traffic was coming at that moment. As the speed limit on that part of hwy62 is 40mph. I made a slow loop back home. I inspected my vehicle to see burst brake line that was rusted badly near the frame at rear of truck. I had a wrecker tow it to a local shop. Then to find out the brake lines were rotted out. $306.93 in repairs.

At slow speeds the antilock brakes fail dramatically. Your stop is accelerated, until such point that the brakes actually revert to "regular" braking and the antilock brake annunciator light illuminates on the instrument panel. The wheel sensors are less than a year old as i have had both front wheel hubs replaced.

Brake line ruptured and instant loss of brakes no warning when it happened. Brake lines are completely rusted.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer for brake service and was informed that the frame and brake lines were completely rusted. The contact was also told that the vehicle could no longer be driven.the vin was not available. The failure and the current mileages were 59,000.

On my driveway, i applied my brakes and the pedal went to the floor. Brake fluid poured from below the truck behind the driver's door. Inspection underneath revealed a brake line had burst. All brake lines mounted to the frame forward of the abs unit are severely corroded and will need to be replaced.

One morning out of the blue when i went to drive my truck, pressed the brake pedal to put it in gear my pedal went to the floor with very little give. Looking under the truck i notice a metal brake line has a hole. The worst part, all the medal brake lines are so rusted it looks as if they could all fail at any time.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph she noticed a burning smell and a grinding sound coming from the rear of the vehicle.the contact stopped the vehicle and noticed the rear brakes were smoking. The vehicle was taken to the independent dealer where the contact purchased the vehicle a day prior for diagnostic testing. The mechanic stated the rear brakes were replaced. After the repair the brakes continued to smoke. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the contact was informed the vehicle was purchased as it was and no further assistance would be provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 128,000. Updated 12/21/12*lj updated 1/9/2013

Air brakes abs motor continues to run, and over time drains battery and reducesoperating ability ofbraking system. Dealership has replaced this component at the consumer's expense. Please provide any additional information/attachments.

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

Abs failed on wet surface,spun 450 deg,after spin failed to stop vehicle.history: appoximately 4-6 times over a nine month period, when the brakes were first applied they did not appear to work.upon releasing the brake and reapplying, the brakes then worked.then over three month period the brakes began to feel choppy when stopping.the vehicle was taken to the dealer and all four rotors needed to be turned (only 10000 miles on vehicle).two days later on a wet surface, going 16-20 mph on a right turn with a slight uphill grade, when the brakes were applied the back end of the truck came spinning around in a clockwise direction.at 90 degrees the brake was released.the truck spun a total of 450 degrees.then the brakes were applied hard, you could hear the sound of the abs but the truck did not respond at all, there was no braking action.the vehicle crashed head on into a guard rail.the entire front bumper needs replacing.fortunately no one was injured.

The abs motorkeeps 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

Consumer noticed the at home didn't have antilock brake system. Dealer has not been notified yet. Please provide further information . Mr

The break pedel becomes rock hard and the truck will not stop have to use the emergancy brakewhen 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

The abs pump continues to run even after ignition is turned off, thus draining battery. Inorder to stop pump the abs must be disabled resulting in a dangerous situation, driving the vehicle wih compromised stopping ability which can result in an accident causing bodily harm or even death.

Antilock brack module failed at approximately 42,000 miles.

The brakes get hard and won't work, then they suddenly lock up.this has happened to us several times, and to the service guy once.the first two times it was in for service, they couldn't duplicate the problem.after they went out on the service guy, they replaced the brake booster.they went out again, and they replaced the master cylinder.they just went out again, at an intersection, and we almost had an accident.it is back at the chevy dealer, but they don't know, and chevy doesn't know what to do with it.this is a dangerous situation.is anyone else reporting problems with these trucks?

Consumer stated that while driving and without warning the abs failed causing the consumer to have extended stopping distance. Dealer notified. Ts

Like so many others, my abs system has gone out on my 1999 chevy silverado, i was simply driving to town when the light came on, 34,000 miles on the vehicle.the motor kept running even when the vehicle was turned off, i immediately proceeded to my asc certified mechanic who reviewed the vehicle and informed me my abs module is shotand the estimated repair cost is $1000.00+ (partially due to no aftermarket parts available.)so not only is gm unwilling to acknowledge the problem, they are compounding the pain for owners by holding a monopoly on the repair part.unacceptable - a recall is in order - this is a serious safety issue gm is not addressing.

When brake applied at slow speed, truck failed to slow down with constant brake pressure.i almost rear-ended vehicle in front of me.pavement was clean and dry.i have also been getting abs chatter when stopping at slow speeds.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

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

Low speed activation of abs, tried to remedy with gm despite their awareness of the problem and a known design defect, they declined any assistance in the repair

Abs systemis not working properly. Also, intermittently abs light. Come on. Dealer has been notified.ts.

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.itwas 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

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

When stopping on rough road the brakes released and then locked up.i talked to the dealer and they advised they haven't received any complaints on the brake systems. Problem was not resoved.

Anti-lock brakes engage at low speed braking.the sensors have been cleaned twice, and the abs module has been replaced.total cost for these is $1,100.00.

Abs pump continued to run with vehicle off.abs/brake light remain on seems to be a very common problem.dt

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

While vehicle was under warranty i complained of fading brakes while traversing rough spots in roads.dealership mechanics said it was the abs system.he said i could disconnect it?but i chose not to.now my 1999 silverado has an even bigger problem.while performing a gentle stop the brake pedal becomes hard and vehicle will not stop unless i stand on the brake pedal.i crashed through my garage door the last time this happened.my brakes were inspected and they are all in good order. The mechanic did however notice that the abs was on constantly.( so does someone have to die before action is taken on this matter)there is numerous complaint about the abs system in this truck.

1999 chevrolet silverado has two problems with brakes.first problem is that truck continues to go full speed after hitting brakes if there is any uneven roadway or if road is wet or if any number of other conditions exist.very scary when it won't stop.2nd complaint is abs module went out at 34,000 miles and 42 months.was told that it was not under warranty.spent $900 to replace, did not solve any of my braking problems.it is scary to drive because you never know when it will decide not to stop. Cannot identify a single date, the stopping problem has happened too many times to enumerate.

New vehicles need more testing before they are sold to the public.

Consumer states that the module that controls the abs failed, resulting in no abs brakes, when needed. Dealer contacted, this is a common problem. Ts

Front brakes don't have a sure stop when going over a bump.dealer has seenvehicle several for the problem, but can not find anything wrong.

The abs system/pump made a terrible sound and the warning light came on inside the vehicle.i contacted the dealer who stated just to unplug the abs power supply but the brakes were fine.another friend, julian scaff, has the same make/model/year truck and has had the exact abs failure.both were at approx. 45,000 miles. I have also had problems with the rear brakes locking up and not unlocking for a few minutes.this has caused untold wear and reduced fuel milage considerably.these are serious safety issues.

No summary.dt

The failure of the abs ecu and pump are due to the location of the unit which is located under the vehicle below the drivers seat. The abs unit is in the direct spash path of the front left tire. I dont think the engineers that designed this unit took into consideration that the abs ecu and pump get a presure wash evertime it rains. When the unit failed i went to the dealer in norman, ok (mark heitz) and talked to the service manager about it. He told me that they replace these units quite often because they get water in them and short out. Not being familiar with the unit i asked more question. The ecu is sealed to the pump and when water enters through the seal it shorts out the ecu and starts rusting out the pump. The rust in the pump concerns me because it can potentialy contaminate the brake fluid and cause brake failure. Tom-the service manager at mark heitz exact words "the pump had water in it and it was full of rust" mark heitz phone number is 405-321-7021.the other failure is the parking break. I dont think it ever worked the day it came off the dealer lot. The first time i tried toused the parking brake was at beaver lake in arkansas on a camping trip. This was last summer -summer of 2000-. I parked on a steep hill and applied the parking break . The pedal went to the floor rater easily and i thought nothing of it, that was unitll i got in the truck and tried to put it in drive, i had a hard time getting it out of park. The nut on the tensioner shaft to the parking brake system under the truck is completely tightened. The cable brances off to each rear caliper and is each attached to a lever on the calipers. I've observed the levers move and still no parking brake. The levers look to be fully engaged, that is the levers are pulled as far forward as possible by the cables. It's a great feeling to know that you've paid thirty grand for a vehicle with problems. If you have any question i can be reached at any time on my mobile 405.205.6621-thanks.

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. Problem seems to be corrosion on a circuit located under the truck.abs now not functional and brake warning lights stay on after fuse was pulled.vehicle now without antilock brakes. * faulty connection happend about 800 miles over extended warranty and dealer would'nt even discuss covering it.

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 nhtsa 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 module runs contiually. Electronic brake control module attatched to the abs pump malfunctions, causing the pump to run continually, even after the vehicle has been switched off. Local dealer is aware of problem, and has seen it before on several occasions. Local salvage yards can't keep parts on hand because of high demand. There is no recall!!!!!!!! why???

My father father-in-law is a certified mechanic and was doing some work on my 1999 silverado and noticed that the abs motor was continually running. To stop this he had to pull the fuse. I recently drove my truck from minnesota to california and on numberous ocassions i had trouble stopping. I had to push the brakes all the way to the floor and the truck still was slow to react. Most of the time there was no one in front of me, but there were a couple times when i almost rear ended someone. I haven't done anything to correct the problem because i live in overseas. The truck is left in minnesota and i drive it whenever i am home for vacation. Once i move home next year i will have to do something to fix this problem if chevy hasn't sent out a recall. How many stories like this does it take for chevrolet to do something about it? how many complaints have to be submitted about an abs motor that won't stop running unless the fuse is pulled? i sure hope chevy does something soon.

Abs brake failure with only 40,000 miles on the truck.the abs brakes would come on if i went over bumps or railroad tracks, and then i would have to pump my brakes to get them back (or the truck wouldn't stop).finally, at 40,000 miles my abs light came on, my abs pump came on and would not turn off, and the chevy dealership told me my abs module blew.i was quoted $1,200 to replace it.instead, i pulled my abs fuse and operate the vehicle without abs brakes as i refuse to pay for what i believe is a defective abs system.it is my humble opinion that chevy should recall and replace this defect.

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 light came on then heard grinding sound of abs motor running.turned off vehical abs motor still running without key.took vehical to repair shop $1000 estimate to replace ebcm.

Anti-lock break system failure on my 1999 chevrolet silverado pickup

Brake anti lock motor runs continuously had to disconnect motor. Now there is no antilock protection for brakes

On my way home from a boy scout meeting, i heard what sounded like an electric motor or pump running continuously and the check abs light was on on my dash board of my 1999 chevrolet silverado 2500 hd extended cab 4x4.the next morning i took it to a brake shop and they tested it on the computer and confirmed that the abs system had failed. If general motors put out a recall for this part, i was never notified and never received any recall notice. I have since found out that the abs systems failure is a common occurrence. So, why no recall?

Abs module shorted out and now the antilock brakes are inoperable. This is a known problem by generals motors. Dealership said they replace several weekly. Also, 2000 silverado`s have the same problem ,and i beleive modulethey have been recalled for a new module. Told general motors this and all they could say was "but sir yours is a 1999 model isn`t it". Nhtsa please help us consumers . We are driving trucks without antilock brakes. How safe could this be? this isdefinitely a safety issue.

Abs and brake light turn on.no crashes or injuries yet.gm knows of module problem but says item is not on recall.

I don't know if you got my previous complaint.1999 silverado,anti-lock brake module bad.talked to the dealer this evening and cost will be $972.he is working with gm to see if they will eat any of the cost.i called gm and the lady was very nice but refused to admit this was a problem.from my internet research this is a major problem that should be addressed.

1999 full size chevrolet truck-- frequent abs brake failurescauses vehicles not to stop at low speeds problem could cause serious or fatal injury to individuals inparking of crosswalk instances

While driving my 1999 chevy silverado, the abs light came on and stayed on. A little searching brought me to the abs module on the frame under the left side of the passenger compartment. It was running, even after the vehicle was turned off and the key removed, it continued to run. I disconnected the power to the unit and tapped the wire up so as not to let it get wet,(obviously,it's carrying a lot of juce.) when i took the truck to the dealer where i had purchased it the service manager told me that the entire module was bad and it would costnearly 1000 dollars to fix. He said that the module itself was going to cost 761 dollars. It's my opinion that nothing more than an internal relay has gone bad and i know for a fact it has happened to others too. My truck has only 35,000 miles on it and shouldn't be presenting costly repairs like this while i'm still making payments on it and have babied it in the 13 months that i've owned it. If these modules are failing at the rate that it appears they are then chevy should recall them or come up with a less expensive solution like an external by-pass type relay that wouldn't involve replacing a costly module like this over some 5 or 10 dollar relay.

Abscontrol module failed at 31,000 miles.part alone is over $800.00.dealer apparently unwilling to do anything .never buy a gm product again!!buy imports,they make better cars and provide superior service by far!when someone dies due to this problem,hope gm and nhtsa get the hell sued out of them for doing nothing to take care of a very serious safety issue that exist and both parties have known about for some time.question to nhtsa!if i check fatalities box as 4 people dead!!then will you act???

Failure of electronic abs control module. Got out of vehicle and noticed there was the sound of an electric motor running even after the ignition was turned off. Found out that it is over $1,000 to have fixed. Just so happens that the dealer keeps several of these in stock because of the numerous failures. Problem was that mine was out of warranty by around 5,000 miles. Do you think gm would offer to cover this... Of course not. What a joke.

At 38000 miles my abs control module failed. Two local dealers informed me that gm has had a lot of problems with the abs module at a cost of $1200.00.i called gm customer assistance and got no assistance.i would like someone to look into the abs module failure problem.

Faulty 4 wheel drive switches &abs modules running non stop. Dealer says they see a lot of these but there are no recalls. An average of 1 per week.

1999 chevrolet silverado - abs module runs even when the ignition is turned off causing a failure.

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 consumer shut the vehicle off and the brake pump will not shut off.it continued to pump even when the ignition is offthe dealer stated that the control module on the abs brakes is defective.*la

Abs pump failure resulting in loss of abs braking ability.abs pump remained on after even after igniton was shut off.had to remove abs fuseto get abs pump to shut off

We have been having problems with our abs since we purchased the vehicle. At times the abs would suddenly engage when it wasn't warranted (i.e., in the middle of summer on a dry road, slowly approaching a stop). Then suddenly, backing out of the driveway the abs light came on, along with the buzzing noise. The only way to stop the noise was to pull out the fuse to the abs system. Upon researching the problem on the internet, i've noticed that this is a very common problem among other 1999 chevy silverado owners. Something is obviously wrong with the abs system in these models. General motors won't do anything about it.the unit costs $1000 to fix, which by the time the defect usually shows up, warranties don't cover. My guess is that by the time someone takes this problem seriously enough to take a look into this and realizes that there is a problem with the abs system in the 1999 chevy silverado, that someone will have gotten hurt or even worse...a death will occur because of it.

The abs brake controllmodule is defective, had to pull the 60 amp fuse to get the abs pump to stop running, the dealer says its a common problem and will cost $1000 to fix.truck only has 53000 miles on it.

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 gmis going to take me for about $1600 for a problem they know they've had with this.this should be a recall.*la

On monday, march 21st, 2005, when my 1999 chevy silverado truck was started, the abs light came on and a loud buzzing sound from under the truck started.when the truck was turned off, the buzzing continued.the 60 a fuse was removed to finally making stop, after running the battery down the first day.this is a major safety issue that shoudl be recalled or on extended warranty.i read on a website that many many other truck owners have had the same problem.i am looking at upwards of $1200 to have this module on the abs pump fixed, and that might not solve the problem long term.it could happen again right away.i would appreciate gm or chevy recalling this malfucntion to the abs before a serious accident takes place.i purchashed a chevy truck to avoid these types of issues.now i have a $1200 estimate to fix a problem that shoudl be under warranty or recalled.please inform me as to how much chevy is willing to reimburse me on this major problem that is chevy/gm's fault.michael a.

Abs failure - the abs light came on and loud humming noise coming from abs system when engine is off and key is removed.had to pull 60a fuse to stop the abs system from continueing to make noise.pulling this fuse also cause the main brake indicator light to stay on, thus i have no true indidcation presently if main brake failure occurs.

The abs control module went out on my 1999 chevy silverado z-71 (four wheel disk) with only 60,000 miles. I was told the part would cost $1147.00 from gm, not including tax or labor. The abs pump and motor continued to run until i disconnected the 60 amp fuse. Of course, now the abs warning light stays on. I have since learned of at least 30 others silverado owners with the same problem. The 99 model seems to have the most problem. Gm refuses to recall the part, which is very expensive. Many of the other "victims" had less mileage on their vehicles than mine.

Abs pump continues to run after ignition is turned off. I called norman frede chevrolet in houston texas and the service technician told me to take the 60 amp fuse out from the distribution center under the hood and bring it in. He also told me that this is a $600.00 part alone. He said this is a common problem with 1999 silverados. If its so common, how come there isn't a recall on this yet. It still isn't fixed.

Abs motor continues to run after vehicle is turned off.local dealer said he has to replace 1 module a week on the average. Why isn't there a recall?

2 months after 36,000 mile warranty on a 1999 chevrolet siverado, anti-lock brake pump fails. Called the dealership called chevrolet and no calls recalls or concerns on this matter. It is fine if this was a single incident, but when you know of two other owners that have had the same problem on the same vehicle and live in the same county? please any help????? or is this not a problem?.

I own a 1999 chevy sivlerado.on 12/27/02 i started my vehicle after leaving work and noticed that the abs light went on.after i got home and shut the truck off there was a noise coming from under the truck (sounded like an electric motor running).i drove the truck over to my local chevy dealership and one of the tech's listened to the truck and diagnosed it as the abs module.i told the service manager to call me with a quote for repair.he called about an hour later and said that it was the abs module, and it would cost around $1000 to repair.i declined repair as i was told that the brakes would function fine by just pulling the abs fuse (the abs wouldn't work, but the brakes would work fine).trying to negotiate with dealer and/or gm on repair cost.truck has 60000 miles, so they are saying "out of warranty".i said "stand behind your product!"saw these other instances of the same problem on this web site, so i thought i would add mine.looks like they have a problem with the abs on this vehicle and they are not taking care of it.

When consumer turned offignitionand exitedvehicle, he heard a noise coming fromengine area, indicating that a system was still operating. Dealership examined vehicle, and determined that control module foranti-lock braking system had failed, which resulted in continued operation.replacement ofmodule was needed.please provide any additional information/attachments.

With under 60,000 miles the abs failed allowing the module motor to run constantly.chevy mechanic advidsed pulling the 60 amp fuse as the cost for the module was over $500.alos told to be careful drivng on wet pavement as the braking would not be as safe w/o the abs sytem working.contacted chevy and negotiated the replacement of the abs module, however upon agreeing to pay for 1/2 the cost the chevy folks raise the initial $500 dealer quote to $899 which would not include the labor.as the safety is less when on wet payment i am l;ooking for a recall of this abs system.the chevy mechainc say it is a common problem wiht the ussual course of action being to pull the fuse and run with the brake warning light on.as i have leased this vehicle i have also been told by the leasing company i will have to repair the problem before it is accepted back when the lease expires.i have copiies of all the coreespondance with the chevy folks itf you would like to see them.

Abs motor continued to run and would not shut off. Had to disconnect the 60 amp fuse to prevent battery from running down. Am told that the abs module is defective and will cost well over $1000 of my money to repair - this has not been recalled. This from a chevy with 80,000 miles?? i've discovered that this is not an isolated incident, that this is a common defect with this vehicle. I was told by the dealership that this failure occurs so often that they keep 4 to 5 units in stock.why isn't this being recalled? what else can we do?

Humming noise coming from abs control module under left side rail. Pulled 60 amp fuse to stop from running. Contacted dealer and found that these modules go out all the time. $800 for parts and $250 for labor to install.after checking the internet i found this a widespread problem throughout the country. What will it take to get gm to fix this problem? there should be a recall on these units, this is a national highway safty issue.

The service abs light on my 1999 silverado went on, and i noticed a humming noise coming from under the driver side of my vehicle.i traced the noise to the abs control unit.the pump on this unit would continue to run after the ignition was turned off.the only way to stop the pump from continuously running was to remove the abs fuse which disables the abs braking system.i contacted gm but they're advice is to take to a dealership for repair.in the meantime, i am operating the vehicle with abs disabled.

Abs module failure. Continues to run after truck is shut off.

My wife backed out of the garage and the abs light came on. She pulled back in to the garage and turned the truck off.she heard a "motor running" sound from under the drivers seat.i believe after researching on the internet that the abs control module has shorted out.pulled the fuse causing the abs and parking brake lights to stay on.very disappointed to hear there have been numerous failures of this module with no relief from gm.was told by the dealer that the repair would cost approx. $1000.

The ehcu for the abs system on my 1999' chevrolet sivleradowent out after just 53000 miles.i have found endless complaints about this on the web and it is a severe safety issue that needs to be fixed.

But i checked with my dealer" no recall " said they had replaced lots of these module. So i had to have them replace at a cost of $923.00. Guest that is why chevrolet has not recalled!!!!

Electronic brake control module went out

The abs module is defective. The abs pump continues to run after the vehicle is turned off. My family has two of these vehicles and both have had the same problem. What does it take to get nhtsa or gm to realize that this is a safety related problem and do something about it before someone is injured?

Anti lock brake system - i have documentation starting from 2 months after the purchase of my 99' chevy z71 complaining of the brake system.every time i took the vehicle to dealer, he said "oh, that's normal".i have taken to the dealer numerous times over the course of time for all sorts of defects with the brakes being the biggest problem.the last time i took it was for the anti lock brakes was one month prior to the warranty going out.once again, "oh, that's normal".once my warranty expired, so did my anti lock brakes.even with documentation, the dealer would not fix it and chevrolet said i had to go through the dealer.i have a stack of documentation from where this vehicle has been in the shop for malfunctions as well as pretty much everything that can go wrong with a vehicle.i am upset because this is a problem that need fixing from the start and the dealer or chevroletwould make it good.

Normal driving conditions with consistent vehicle maintainence. The abs module failure occurred without warning. The braking system in the vehicle seemed to lose power and required more than normal braking time. I took the vehicle in for repairs immediately at a cost of $1,000. I was told it is due to a faulty part that general motors is aware of but refuses to recall due to the 750,000 1999 silverados on the road. At a part cost of $700 you can easily do the math. A recall must be in order. These heavy trucks are not safe on the road if not a class action lawsuit is in order.

Abs comes on and stays on.when ignition switch is turned off the montor on the brakes continues to run. The only way to stop it is to pull the fuse.

Abs pump on my truck will not turn off and without abs the brake system could lock and injure many people. They should recall this before someone gets hurt

The abs & brake warning lights sporatically illuminate while driveing and will sometimes reset to normal after you shut engine off and remove key. This has continued for 2 or 3 months. Last week it finally went on and remained on and would not clear. I took the truck to the mechanic and his diagnostics indiacted a faulty ebcm. I have had it changed just today. I have checked with e others who also own this year truck silverado and they also have had problem. Some have had it fixes and others not. The mechanic said is the abs light is iluminated then the abs is not operatable.

I have a 1999 chevy silverado that has been experiencing a problem with theabs systems.when you get below 10 miles an hour it starts acting up.. It doesnt want to stop.sometimes you have to let off and stomp them a couple of times to get them to stop.. You dont know when its going to act up either.it may goa few times without a problem then the next thing you know it starts doing it. I try not to drive it and when i do its close by.i have taken it to a shop andthey said it was the abs wheel speed sensor .then they said that they had seen on the news where there is a concern with this problem..

Anti-lock break system failure on my 1999 chevrolet silverado pickup

A recall was issued re: unwanted low speed activation of the abs.prior to the recall i had already had the problem fixed and requested reimbursement after the recall was issued.i was advised that my truck was not included in the recall based solely on the fact that it is currently registered in maryland and not registered in the specific states listed.this truck was purchased brand new in pa and was registered in pa, then oh exclusively until feb. 04 when the truck was registered in maryland as a result of a relocation from ohio.i am simply stunned that gm is excluding me from the recall.this is unacceptable and bottom of the barrel customer service

Brakes failed when leaving a residential driveway.two lines split near the balancer valve located below the driver seat underneath the vehicle resulting in catastrophic brake failure.noticedextreme corrosion around all five of the brake lines around the balancer valve upon inspection.

The vehicle went from normal braking to taking much longer to stop without warning.the pedal felt softer, and fell further to the floor.with pumping i was able to stop.further more the brakes didn't seam to hold.i had to lift and reapply or the truck would roll.the brake light didn't light until after it initially failed to stop normally.on investigation i found a leak in one of the brakes lines that goes under the cab.it is part of a cluster of brake likes on top of the frame rail.this may be related to nhtsa action number : ea11001mileage is unknown because the electronic display for it has failed.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. While driving 35 mph and approaching a traffic light, the brake pedal sank to the floorboard when depressed. The contact had to quickly shift the transmission in order to stop the vehicle safely. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The contact determined that the abs hydraulic unit would need to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was not informed if the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 00v345000 (service brakes, hydraulic) and nhtsa campaign number: 00x001000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The approximate failure mileage was 185,000.

I bought my 1999 checy silverado new. The brakes were never as good as the vehicle i had traded in or in fact drove at work for my employer. I took my vehicle back to the dealer, mckee auto several times. The service advisors would not log my complaint or attempt to repair the vehicle. I have run several stoplights because of the lousy brakes, luckily there haven't been any accidents. Last october the rear brakes went out on this vehicle. I replaced the rear pads and rotors while the front brakes look the same as new. This leads me to believe maybe they aren't hardly being used. I thought there was supposed to have been a recall for early models of this vehicle, but was never notified.

After researching the internet found that there was a recall on my 1999 for the brake lines. The brake lines are corroded and will need to be replaced. This recall would have fell under 00v345000. I would like to see if the recall is still in effect so that i can get these lines replaced.

When the consumer applied the brakes, the vehicle did not stop and consequently he hit another vehicle. Consumer had abs brake module replaced because engine still ran when key wasn't in the ignition.*sb

While approaching a red light at 28mph and pressing the brake, the pedal went completely to the floor and the vehicle did not slow down.i pumped the pedal repeatedly and only slight braking action could be achieved.i went through the intersection just narrowly missing two crossing cars and turned onto a nearby side street.after finally getting the vehicle to stop, i got out and saw a puddle of brake fluid forming a few feet behind the driver side front wheel.further inspection found all break lines severely rusted and a brake line had ruptured just above the frame rail.i did not experience any warning light prior to the failure.i was under the impression that vehicles have two brake systems (fount and rear) and if one failed you still had the other to stop you?i contacted my car dealer and was informed that there was no recall related to ruptured brake lines due to rust or complete failure of a brake system.i was just lucky no one was killed. People driving these vehicles should be contacted and warned!!! after reading report after report of the same thing happening to others driving the 1999 silverado,i can not understand why there has not been a warning sent out to owners and/or a recall!!!!

I was driving home on memorial day 2014 pulling my boat and trailer. Traffic was stopped outside crivitz, wi and i had to hit my brake pedal. It went right to the floor - no brakes at all - contrary to the gm info in an article i read on yahoo. I quickly hit the shoulder, fortunately wide and hard, and coasted into a mini mall in crivitz. Down shifted as i went and hit the emergency in the mall lot. Feel very fortunate that my wife and i are alive as well as those in front of us. Both back brake lines were blown as well as a front. Truck is maintained every 3-4 months. Gm is full of beans. I have driven numerous chevrolet cars in excess 0f 180,00 miles without any brake line issues. This to me is faulty engineering. $1100+ to repair.

Contact stated:2nd time the brakes failed on this vehicle.duringsecond incident an accident occurred on 4/6/2005, contactwas going about 35-40 mph, there was another vehicle in the lane, stopped, and another vehicle stalled in the same lane.contact slammed on the brakes, and the brakes failed.*sc

The brakes on my 1999 chevy silverado failed.i realized the brakes were dragging/locking up and when i tried to stop got a terrible noise which was heard by everyone in the parking lot.when i was driving home, they finally gave out and i coasted into the intersection.i can stop if i pump the brakes but the right rear caliper, rear pads and rear rotors are shot.brake fluid is leaking all over the place and it literally ate right through while driving home for 45 miles.what a disappointment.total estimate to fix = $1250.00 , recovery from gm = nothing.

The brake lines on the truck had rusted/corroded to the point of failure. Luckily, one of the lines ruptured after applying the emergency brake while stationary and that led to identification of the other lines before an accident occurred. All of the line on the truck had to be replaced.

Abs control module failed abs motor runs continouslyeven after turning the vehicle off.

Was driving my truck to the carryout when i went to stop and all of sudden there were no brakes and the pedal went right to the floor. Never had a warning it was going to happen. I was lucky that the person that didn't have to stop didn't hit me, as they had to slam on their brakes and swerve to avoid me. I am lucky this happened at 2 am in the morning when there wasn't much traffic. I was only able to stop because i ended up hitting the curb and jumping in someone's yard scared me into thing i was going to smash into the house. Well the truck came to rest about 10 foot from the porch. I looked under the truck and can see that the lines are rusted really bad under the driver side cab and it looks to be all need replaced. I have never had brake lines rust like this ever and i own several older trucks and they aren't this bad being twice the age of this truck. Gm should own up to this problem and do a recall before somebody gets killed if that hasn't happened already. Like i can just let my truck sit while this investigation is slowly looked at by officials that don't care if people die by not issuing a recall now.

Abs system has a continuous buzzing sound coming from beneath the truck even when the keys were turned off.the only way to stop it was to disconnect the battery.during evaluation of a repair, the steel screws that hold the system together were screwed into an aluminum plate and were so rusty and corroded that one of them broke off when the repairman attempted to remove it. Abs system is placed where it is unprotected from moisture and road chemicals, such as salt.

The brakes failed when pulling into a turn lane to exit off a busy main highway.no warning, no brake light came on to indicate trouble. There were no brakes at all. Although there is high mileage, the brakes should still function and should provide some indication that there is a problem.this could have caused a serious accident.

Dt*: the contact stated the rear brake backing plate deteriorated and will not work properly due to corrosion.the vehicle was taken to a dealer for general inspection of the corrosion.the service department determined the rear brake backing plate was corroded due to the corrosive road salts used on the highway in that area.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. While parked, the contact noticed that the brake lines had ruptured and was leaking brake fluid. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed that the brake lines were corroded. The contact replaced the brake lines. There was an investigation open under nhtsa action number:ea11001 (service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings) that could possibly have been related to the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000.

As slowed down to stop for a light the brakes completely failed with no warning.luckily no one was in front of us or collision would have occurred.mechanic said that brake line "exploded" due to major corrosion that should not be so extensive on a vehicle of this condition and mileage.very scary situation.

Chevrolet silverado 2004, premature failure of brake system.while driving the abs light and brake light illuminated.the vehicle was taken to the dealer who informed the consumer that a new abs brake module needed to be installed because the current on shorted out. The dealer also rplaced the electronic brake control module.

The brakes pulsated when the consumer attempted to brake. This problem caused extended stopping distance. The dealership had been notified, but was unable to resolve the problem. Please provide more information.*mr

All brake line are rusting out.truck is kept indoors and not driven in snow.

Went to back up out of driveway and peddle went to floor. No breaks hit parking break nothing there either.two lines rusted threwand two mor of 5 were bad.back calipers frozen and damaged .thought breaks would never fail totally but this is not true.no warning lights either just roll and stop when you hit something.not fun.good thing i was not on the freeway or in traffic could have killed one.... Not happy.........justnice fat bill to pay...

Rusted brake lines failed on my 99 chevy silverado and i crashed into my garage door pulling in. There was no brake warning light until i hit the brake and there was none the pedal went to the floor. The only reason why my truck has so many miles is because it was used to tow a trailer across country for 5 years for the last 7 it has been used as a as needed truck.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that the anti-lock braking system would activate when driving at low speeds and cause an increase in stopping distance. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 05v379000 (service brakes: hydraulic: antilock) and took the vehicle to the dealer. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The current mileage was 50,000 and the failure mileage was unknown.

Multiple brake line ruptures under drivers side of cab due to rust. As each failed line was replaced another ruptured during the "bleeding process." all four (4) lines replaced due to failure at point where lines cross frame rail. Chassis is also extremely rusty.

My problem is similar to the problems that i have read about related to nhtsa recallcampaigns 05v379000 .at slow speed abs will activated,but the truck with not stop.this truck was not included in the recallwhich seemed weird sinceit hadthe same problems as described in the recall,and i live in a state which has salt on the roads almost half of the year.when i brought truck in to the chevroletdealer, who stated that they needed to replace the entire hub assembly for both the right and left.to fully fix the problem they could not simply apply a rust inhibitor as the recall above suggested.i did some internet research and found that other consumersexperienced the same problem.many who brought their trucks in under the recall also had to have the hub assembly replaced.the two crashes this problem caused included the vehiclerunning in to a tree in a parking lot and a tool chest in garage.i have been fortunate enough not to have run anyone over because of this problem.

1. Power window passenger door: operates slowly and if it gets too warm will quit. After 30 seconds will continue slowly 2. Other - cd player: plays tract 1 then skips & ejects cd (laser out of line) 3. Abs system has failed - automatic brake control module has to be replaced. This is a common problem for the '99 siverado. (the local auto wrecker won't even sell a used one unless there are less than 40000 km. This should say something!) i feel this should be a recall

The brakes failed. Gm replaced the solenoid sensor as a gesture of goodwill.

While on vacation in the outer banks north carolina the brakes went out on my truck.there was a lot of fluid left under the truck on the drivers side around the beginning of the bed.i was able to see brake fluid squirt out from the brake line when my wife would press on the brake pedal.i was able to get the truck to outer banks chevy for repair.they told me that all of the brake lines were very rusted and needed to be replaced.i had them make the repair for around $1500.on the trip back to my home state the brakes became very soft and caused the return trip to take very long.i needed to take the truck to my local chevy dealer for more repair.the local dealer stated that the original repair was not done correctly and needed to be fixed again.i thought gm would cover the cost because of the fact the original repair was completed at a chevy dealer.that was not the case.i contacted the corporate office and was told after many conversations that the second repair was not covered because the replacement parts were not gm parts.the repair of the brake lines is custom because gm does not make replacement brake lines and a service tech is required to manually bend aftermarket lines.i was required to pay additional money to have the repair completed again and i am now out over $2000.the brakes have been ok since the second repair.

Dt:the back brakes and back braking plate has rotted out.the consumer noticed the problem when changing the rear brakes and rotors.the plate that everything bolts to is rotted and has holes in it.the dealership did not give any information on why this happened.on may 20, 2005 the vehicle was taken to the dealership the consumer stated he noticed the problem approximately one week prior.

The abs engages at low speeds. This has almost caused several accidents in parking lots. I have pulled the abs fuse in the fuse panel.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. While drivingapproximately 10 mph and coming to a stop the abs activated inadvertently. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing nor was it repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated they were driving the vehicle and when they engaged the brake pedal, they failed to respond. The contact stated the abs light did not come on, but the emergency brake did not work as well. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told the entire brake line had corroded. The vehicle was at the dealership waiting to be repaired. The failure and current mileages were 73,000.

Dt:when the brakes are applied they will not stop the car; it doesn't happen all of the time but most of the time.

First incident occurred on june 9, 2006 where the rear brake line failed while pulling boat from remote fishing lake at approximately 10:30 pm, leaving a large amount of brake fluid on the ground and on the right rear tire. No dealers are open at this hour, therefore i had to drive truck with only emergency brake. Delivered truck to the dealer during business hours where the rear brake line was replaced due to failure from being corroded through. Asked for inspection of all remaining brake lines and have them replaced if required as i did not want the incident to happen again - none were replaced and was informed everything was now fine.2nd incident occurred december 6, 2006. Another brake line along the left side of the frame near the transfer case failed due to severe corrosion. This happened as my wife was returning home and drove to the end of our driveway and when the brakes were applied the pedal went all the way to the floor. Our house is located on a hill and the truck went off the drive and headed through the yard down the hill - luckily she placed the transmission in park without an accident or injury. I inspected all of the brakes lines and found that all are severely corroded. If they are touched in any way, large flakes of corrosion come off in you hand. I will not return this vehicle to a gm dealer for repair as i would rather complete the job myself rather than have someone lie to me and jeopardize my families or my life any further!

While braking pedal wentto the floor, then the brakes failed due to corrosion. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. *la

Abs pump motor runs all the time , even when the ignition is turned off.p.s. Looked for a solution on the web, found that this is a fairly common problem with the 1999 chevy silverdo and very costly.called chevy motor division, they gave me a service request number and said to take the vehicle to the dealership for evaluation.

When applyingthe brakesbrakepedal stuck.

On 3/21/12 i exited my driveway in my 1999 chevrolet silverado pickup and stopped at my mail box to get the morning paper.while stopped with my foot on the brake pedal, the pedal suddenly went to the floor.several pump attempts failed to achieve a firm pedal.upon inspection i noticed a large puddle of fluid under the driver??s side just behind the front wheel.later that evening i had my wife pump the brakes and witnessed a significant stream of brake fluid spewing from a bundle of metal brake lines located on the outside of the frame rail, opposite theabs control module. Upon further investigation, i noticed all of the metal brake lines were visibly, and significantly, corroded/rusted.the location of the line rupture was nowhere near a joint, fitting, or line bend.i purchased this truck used in october of 2008 from a chevrolet dealership in danville, indiana with approximately 89,979 miles on it.the body, wheels, and interior are in excellent shape and would lend you to believe that the truck was generally well maintained and regularly garaged. This truck had 101,107 miles at the time of the brake line incident.i've driven the truck 11,128 miles since purchase, it's always stored in a garage.there were no visible leaks or indicators prior to brake line rupture. Had i been actually driving on the road, or worse yet towing a trailer or heavy load, this story could have had a significantly more ominous outcome. The internet is full of similar stories to mine. It appears these types?? incidents are more common than i would have thought.there appears to have been some gm product deficiencies and i believe there should be a mandatory safety recall with restitution being made by gm. Something needs to be done about this situation.please act before someone gets killed when their rusty brake lines fail at the wrong time.

After stopping hard due to traffic, the brakes lost almost all pressure. Stopping distance increased greatly while pedal went to the floor without much resistance. Upon returning home, albeit slowly, it was discovered that there was a small leak just after the master cylinder in the steel brake lines where they enter a plastic retaining clip. All of the surrounding steel lines have corrosion on them as well.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, thebrakes were applied and the pedal extended to the floor board. The contact was able to stop the vehicle by shifting into a low gear and driving onto the emergency lane. The contact noticed that thevehicle was also leaking brake fluid and there was corrosion on all of the brake lines. The vehicle failure was not diagnosed nor was it repaired. The vin was not available . The failure and the current mileage was 107,000.

1999 chevrolet silverado experiencing problems with the brake equipment.*mrthe consumer had difficulty bringing the vehicle to a complete stop. The dealer stated there was nothing wrong with the brakes, however the consumer continued to experience problems.

Abs system whent bad seems to be a major problem with silverados.

While braking, the brake pedal would lock up and the consumer would be unable to depress to brake pedal to decrease speed.this problem caused extended stopping distances.the cause had not been determined. The dealership has been notified but the problem was not resolved. *ph the consumer would become unable to stop the vehicle at high speeds.the left front hub assembly was found defective and was replaced.the vehicle needed a throttle body. *sc

Brake lines on this 1999 chevy silverado lt 1500 4wd z71 have failed 2 times. First in october 2006 with approximately 98,200 miles. All brake lines were replaced at a cost of $1,400, plus the cost of the tow. Then again in october 2011 at approximately 173,600 miles. The first occurrence happened in my driveway while pulling out onto the street. Fortunately, i was not moving too fast and was able to pull over without incident. The second occurrence happened at speed, approximately 35 mph, as the light turned red and the car in front of me applied his brakes. I applied mine only to have them go straight to the floor. I was able to make an erratic loop around the other vehicle, going through the red light and the intersection. Had it not been the middle of the day, with light traffic, i, and any number of other drivers, could have been severely injured or killed as a result of this failure. This vehicle was towed, at my expense, and is presently in the shop being evaluated for needed repairs. Two complete brake failures in 12 years or a failure once every 6 years is totally unacceptable. I have been a chevy driver for more than 36 years, however, i no longer trust my vehicle, or any chevy.

After exiting the main road, i started a curve and downhill exit which had a traffic light at the end of the exit, which dead ended on to another main road.seeing that the light was turning from yellow to red i started to brake.fortunately for me no traffic was approaching the green light as when i began to brake the pedal went to the floor. As i was attempting to stop,i continued through the red light and onto the opposite shoulder of the road and used my emergency brake and downshifted the trans. Once i stopped i checked under my truck and found a ruptured brake line. I managed to get my truck to a service store and had the line replaced. At that time the service provider told me all chevy trucks have bad lines and mine was no different as they were common steel line and he priced replacement of the lines at about $1300.00 give or take.

I have a 1999 chevy silveraido the frame has broke . The truck is mint everything but the frame and the brake lines .i have ordered a new frame and will replace .chevy will do nothing.

The truck experienced brake failure.the brakes failed to stop the truck immediately. The rear right caliper locked up and ate the rotor. The other rotors were pitted and rusted.the front and leftbrakes had 100% pad on them, only the rear right pad had worn. The manufacturer indicated the truck was not being driven enough. The lleft rear wheel was the only wheel stopping the vehicle.

When going at low speeds (between 5 and 15 mph) the truck does not want to stop and i have had a couple of close calls of hitting a car in front of me or a car park in a parking lot. I was in a parkinggarage and the exit for itis like a spiral staircase i had to tried going down it three times before i could make it down to the exit.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that at low speeds, the abs would activate without warning.the vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign id number: 05v379000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock) but the failure recurred.the dealer and manufacturer denied any assistance with further repairs to the vehicle. The failure and current mileage was 87,262. Kmj

My 1999 chevy silverado z71 had a catastrophic brake failure last night. As i was driving home, i applied the brakes to slow down for my upcoming exit ramp. The pedal went all the way to the floor...maybe had 10% brake performance. Luckily, this was later at night, and there was very little traffic. I was able to go through a traffic light that was green. If it had been red, i would have had to go through the intersection, and could have caused an accident. I pulled in to a parking lot after using the emergency brake and shifting to lower gear. I inspected, and all of the brake lines are severely corroded, with one of them having a hole. The fluid was pouring out. All of the brake line will need to be replaced before the truck is operational and safe.i expect gm to make this right. This is an extremely dangerous condition, where inferior materials were used. Lives are in danger as a result.

Abs system whent bad seems to be a major problem with silverados.

The brakes failed and caused an accident.*nlm

When the brakes were applied, the pedal traveled all the way to the floor, which almost caused an accident.

The brakes failed while coming to a stop causing an accident.*nlm

1999 silverado ext cab abs pump motor had to be replaced due to a short caused by corrosion. The consumer believes this part failed too soon.this is not the first time the consumer has experienced problems with the brakes or abs system.

The contact owns a 1999 chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced a complete loss of brakes while driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who stated that the brake lines were completely rusted through. The contact also stated that the frame was rusted through and there was hole the size of a half dollar on the passenger side of the vehicle. The failure and current mileages were 150,000.

Plain and simple..i hit the brakes pedal went to the floor and i ran off the road and up a hill in a field to stop..there was no warning of any kind..the rear hard line on the drivers side was rusted through.

Brake lines rusted and leaked. Driving and applied brakes and they went to floor.

Brakes were applied under normal stopping distances, pedal went tofloor, resulting in extended stopping distance, andcausing a collision. Dealer has inspected vehicle several times, and could not duplicate or correctproblem.consumer received recall notice aftercollision.

In reference to gm recall no. 05068 involving several gm model trucks and suv's antilock brake issues at low speeds.i own a 1999 silverado and have this problem.it is extremely dangerous!gm should be taking immediate action, not two months from now!i have had too many very close calls and my wife refuses to drive the truck.a second independent investigation may be warranted to determine why vehicles do not stop when "antilock braking systems" are engaged!i have had close calls with my gm truck and gm lumina car with antilock braking system not providing braking when needed.one such occurrence on winter roads in my gm lumina nearly killed my entire family of five!the failure is the gm antilock braking systems can reduce or eliminate the ability to stop or slow down to safely control the vehicle and prevent an accident.i don't know what i can do about it except remove the antilock braking system fuse.

Abs system is not working properly.abs system would not shut off whileconsumer was driving. Contacted dealer, and system needs to be changed.

Contact states he became aware of a report about gm vehicles, abs system. Approximately 2 years ago in the summer while comingto a stop sign he pushed on the brake pedal, he heard and felt the abs kick in,he could not stop. The consumer stated he disconnected the abs because it doesn't operate properly.

When braking on a rough surface/ bumps or pot holesbrake pedal would go to the floor. Dealer andmanufacturer have been contacted, and informed consumer that they are aware of problem.there were no corrections at this time. Feel free to provide any further information.i

When hitting a rough spot on the road at slow speeds, the brakes go out for about 50 to 150 ft. Owner has to use emergency brakes to slow down. Dealersays the abs is engaging, and owner will have to learn how to adjust.

Abs failure. Abs pump continued to operate although the vehicle was turned off. Consumer was unable to restart vehicle as a result.

After shutting off engine, the abs pump kept running, according to dealer part has to be replaced. Jlg

While driving at low speed consumer could step on the brakes, and the brakes will feel hard. But vehiclewould not stop, resulting in extended stopping distance.

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.nlm

Consumor states:brakes do operate properly at low speeds. Vehicle continues to roll, and doesn't come to complete stop. Pressing very firm, and not stopping. No for warning before hand, checked brake fluid.tookvehicle to mechanic, and had it checked out.

The consumer was pulling into the driveway, when he pressed the brakes to stop, the pedal froze. The car did not stop whichresulted in a crash.

While vehicle in reverse it will engage in high rpms.dealer has been notified. Consumer has told mechanic there was a service bulletinconcerningabs brake system onchevrolet, silverado truck.

Chevrolet siverado extended cab, 1999 ;abs system failed in june 2003!(transmission broke in summer 2002.couldn't back-up anymore!).

Pulling into a gas station with my son from a road with a 45 mph speed limit. Slowed down to attempt to park on side of building and about the last 50-75 feet the abs brake system pulsates and brake pedal is slammed down as hard as could and there is absolutely no brakes. Truck hits corner of gate damaging bumper,grille,hood and small dent in door from gate. Taken to dealership to have recall campaign 05068 looked at and damage accessed. Dealership says damage not due to recall campaign. They also state that there are other components that caused crash and i am charged $220.00 to fix these. Called chevrolet hot line and of course they do nothing but deny responsibility for products they have problems with. They insult my good faith in them by asking me how tall i am (they probably think that i am a short person and inadvertantly stepped on gas pedal instead of brake).

After turning off ignition switch, abs motor continues to make noises. Contacted dealership.consumer stated dealer aware of the problem, consumer believes this part should be recalled.

While applying the brakesabs braking light appeared on the dashboard and remained on.consumer drove vehicle to the dealer for inspection.

Anti-lock motor module continued to run with ignition off. Had to unplug. Motor got extremely hot before i could figure out what was happening and since it is located next to the gasoline fuel filter it can very dangerous. My concern now is that i have a vehicle without anti-lock brakes because at $800 -$1000 dollars how many people can rush right out and replace something that expensive. When a fire occurs from the excessive heat build up someone will get hurt. Why should gm or nhtsa wait for that to happen.

No summary listed for above vehicle

Abs was not working properly due malfunction of control unit. Dealer contacted.

When trying to applyanti lock brakes they will lock up, causingvehicle to have extended stopping distance. Dealer notified.

After driving over a bumpy road surface while applying the brakes, it takes 1 to 2 seconds before full braking force can be applied.

Dt:the caller said this vehicle is not included in thenhtsa recall 05v379000 concerning anti lock brakes.the vehicle experienced the same problems as mentioned in the recall.the dealer and manufacturer said her residence was not included in the recall at this time. Caller stated she hit garage door as a result of brake failure.the abs brakes activated while parking or stopping at a stop sign.the vehicle was taken to a repair shop but they were unable to duplicate the problem.an accident occurred when the abs brake did not activate as they should when on an icy driveway.as a result the vehicle hit the consumer's garage door.

Anti-lock brakes turning on and off by themselves, anti-lock motor continued to run after taking key out of vehicle, went to g.m. Garage they said, 1500 to 3000 dollars to fix( i said yeah right!) i then pulled the relay switch under the hood eliminating the anti-system all together. Now dash lights stay on but i don't have braking problems. This all happened at 40,000 miles i now have 65000 on truck.way to stand behind product gmthanks a lot! for nothing!

Due to the rubber bushing coming apart while driving over 45 mph and driving over a bump, the steering mechanism malfunctioned,causing a crash.also problems with the braking system, causing extended stopping distance.dealer cannot determine cause of the problems.please provide further information.

Gas pedal sticks every time you start the truck, which makes you lunge forward or backwards every time you drive. I have read numerous complaints on this situation & i think it should be recalled. The abs system went out and when i took it to the shop they said it was very common for the chevrolet,silverado to do that, i think it should be checked on too.

I have developed a problem with anti-lock brakes with my 1999 chevy ex cab 1500 4x4 and i have tried to have the vehicle repaired as per the recall to no avail ( gm claims my truck is not one of the involved vehicles, but it is doing the same thing as the recalled vehicle is doing!!!!! i contacted gm at chevrolet.com and spoke with a mr. Brandon christen file # 1-387148116 and was informed of the above then i received an e-mail from a mr. Michael goonan and he also told me that it was not covered!!!!!! i feel that this a gm problem and being that it is doing the same thing as the stated 99 through 05 pickups that this should be repaired by gm!!

Abs pump stays on all the time.have to remove fuse to stop it.many others on http://www.carsurvey.org/viewmorecomments_review_30093_1.html experienced the same problem.average cost of repair: $1000.gm will not recognize as a failure necessitating a recall.

No summary listed for above vehicle.

The abs on my 1999 chevrolet silverado failed while trying to park in a parking space, causing truck not to stop and crashed into a retaining wall.this occurred under normal driving conditions on a clear and dry day.

The anti-lock brake system failed.

The abs check light cam eonon while consumerhearda noise coming from under the driver's seat. Took vehicleto dealer for check up, and results showed that anti lock brakes needed to be replaced.

Consumer stated having the same as a tsb#868309, abs. Dealer notifed.

Rear suspension design permits rear wheels to become airborne when driving over small bumps.this causes momentary loss of control and erratic performance of the anti-lock braking system.i was unable to stop after going over a small bump and nearly hit the vehicle in front of me.

Consumer stated that while driving and applying the brakes, he heard a humming noise. It sounded as if the abs was kicking in. This should not happen because there was no bad weather.the consumerstopped and turned the vehicle off and the noise was still there.after getting off work the noise was still there, but the vehicle would not start.consumer got a co-worker to jump start the vehicle.when raising the hood, the found the fuse for the abs and removed it. The noise then stopped.but when the consumer put the fuse back the noise started again and the abs illuminated light. The mechanic told the consumer thatit was a mechanical designflaw common with these vehicles.

Abs pump malfunctioned, causing it to activate and remain running, even with the key removed from the ignition. Brakes work okay, just without the assistance of abs. Dealer estimated fix at approximately $1,000. Abs and brake warning lamps are illuminated and have remained on for almost 2 years since the pump initially malfunctioned.

Consumer stated the abs light comes on and engine starts making a noise. When vehicle is shut offthe abs motor continues to run. Nlm

While drivingabs light came on. Then, consumer drove offroad and turned offengine,abs motor kept working. Took vehicle to dealer, where they did not explain what could had happened. .the consumer believes, the abs was defective.

After shutting off vehicle abs pump kept running. Vehicle is at dealership at this time.

In bumper to bumper traffic & using brakes which got hot. Vehicle accelerated out of control.front end vibrated. Foot on brakes/accelerator pedal at time. Moved to side of road. Waited 1/2 hour before vehicle was controllable enough to drive. Taking vehicle to dealer.

1999 chevrolet silverado. Abs motor runs continuous even after shutting off the truck. Removed fuse to shut down the system. I am told by dealership, not under warranty or recall. Repair part alone will cost over $800. I don't think this type of safety equipment should fail at 49,000 miles. I don't have the money for repairs. This unforeseen failure decreases the safety and the value of my investment. *nlm

Dt: the contact states there is nhtsa recall campaign05v379000 concerning the anti lock brakes. This vehiclehas the sameproblems as indicated in the recall, but is not included in the recall due to vin.the contact repaired the vehicle at his own expense.the abs failed at low speed. Updated 01/04/06.

I have a 1999 chevrolet silverado 1500truck .if i hit a bump in the road the abs goes crazy and the truck will not stop.i replaced brake pads, rotors and calipers several times and my odometer reading is now at 69, 520 miles.the truck simply will not stop and i have rolled onthrough intersections and other places i could not stop. When gm issued a recall on the speed sensor i contacted them to reimburse me the $900 that i have spent trying to make my truck safe.they informed me brakes were not covered under warranty even though i have had 99% of the brake work performed at the gm dealership, hewitt motors.they said "sorry, we cannot help you."i think it is really excessive that i should have to pay that much money in such little mileagefor the brakes.and i see from your other complaints it is definitely a major problem that gm needs to address.we really like the truck but the brakes are just not safe!!

Abs motor spring clip was defective.also, abs light stays on, and abs brakes do work.

The brakes failed at 30mph and i almost hit someone the abs went out on me, and i had no brakes for about 1 minute. The pedal was hard and the truck would not stop. Dealer has it now replacing a abs part.

The abs system on this vehicle needs to be recalled due to the large amount o f failuresoccuring on low mileage as well as the outragious amount to repair.

Dry and sunny conditions. Anti-lock brake system caused brake pedal to go to the floor causing greatly extended stopping distance.hit the guy in front of me.

Dt: the contact states there is a nhtsa recall campaign 05v379000 concerning the antilock brakes.this vehicle has the same problemsas indicated in the recall, but itis not included in the recall due to vin.the contact repaired the vehicle at his own expense.

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.

The antilock brake controller failed. I talked to the dealer here in tupelo, and he said that it was out of warranty and they would not fix it unless i paid.i checked on the cost and they said that it would cost around 950.00 but would be about a month because they only had a couple of the units that would fit my truck and they were keeping them on hand for warranty calls. I asked them why the long delay and they said they were going out quite often.i called gm customer service to inquire and was told they were unaware of any problems with the antilock systems on my year of truck. That did not seem to be the same information i received from the dealer,so i called 7 more dealers in the surrounding area and talked to the service departments. All i had to do was say that i was having problems with my antilock brakes and they said "oh is the pump running all the time?"they said that was a very common problem and they had to replace them all the time.i then thought that i would see if i could locate a used one in a salvage yard and replace the controller my self...i called numerous salvage yards and found quite a few of 1999 silverado'sbut all of them had already had the controller removed. I then called gm back and told them of what i had found out,they were very nice but in effect told me "tough"so i thought i would write to you and file my complaint and see if you have had any others.

The abs system detected the failure before i started to drive.the nature of the failure permits the controller to continue to run even with the key turned off.

Abs light and brake light stay lit in on my 1999 chevrolet silverado 1500 [xxx]. I brought the vehicle to a chevrolet dealer to have it serviced. The dealer told me it was the abs motor is misaligned and is burnt out and would cost in excess of $1,000 to fix. Also, that he has seen this problem a lot. For a quick fix he told me i can remove the fuse to the abs. He told me he could not do it because it was a "safety issue."i had no choice since i did not have the money to fix it. But recently i notice there was a recall on the 2000 models (nhtsa campaign id#: 00v055000). Since the 1999 model was release toward the end of 1999 and uses the same part as the 2000 model, it only seems logical the recall should extend also for the 1999 models. I brought this point up to the dealer, but they said they are very specific to servicing vehicle recalls and my vehicle did not qualify. I fear if this problem is not recalled, many trucks with this faulty braking system is a serious safety concern. I have had this problem for about 1 year. Please help. Thank you.[xxx][xxx].

While under warrantyi complained to dealer that the anti-lock brakes were to sensitive and would engage while braking on the slightest bump, lenghtening the stopping distance.of course they never can duplicate the problem.now with 41000 miles,i start the truck and the abs light comes on. I get home and heara noise from under the vehicle with the key off. I had to unplug the abs pump to shut it off.i called the dealerand they said this is a common problem and the cost of the unit alone is $780.after researchingthis i've foundthe number of this type of failures are astounding!!there is no excuse for this failure, abs has been around for over 15 years now. Gm knows there is a major problem with their abs braking systemand should be made to recall& fix this problem before someone is killed!!anyone who has paid for this should be re-inbursed for their expense. This failure seems to happen around the 40,000 mile mark just after the warrany has expired.

The abs brake system light on my 1999 silverado comes on intermittedly. The dealer advised me that the 1999 had a problem with the abs pumps and gm refuses to recall, they stated this repair costs over 1000 dollars to fix. The brakes are mushy on this truck since new and the service manager stated "the brakes suck on 99's".many web sites have complaints posted about the abs system yet gm apparently is ignoring this problem. The dealer advises the only solution to the cost of replacement is to remove the fuse and disable the abs. Why is this not a recall?

Front hub/bearing assembly and wheel speed sensor not working when vehicle is traveling between 3 and 10 mph and brakes are applied.the abs is activating causing one wheel to continue and speed higher than other preventing safe turning and stopping of vehicle.the truck had this problem upon purchase, and dealer attempted to fix.approximately 3 months later vehicle began doing same thing.this was a recall, and was taken to dealer to be repaired.dealer only cleaned the area.chevrolet was called by me and dealer and refused to replace hub, so vehicle is still doing same thing.representative from chevrolet on phone was rude, and replied that all that was covered under recall was cleaning hub. However the recall notice clearly states "in some cases, the front wheel speed sensor may need to be replaced."it also states "this service will be performed at no charge to you."i received recall notice in mail, and took immediately to dealer only to have problem keep occurring and chevrolet refuse to fix it.this problem poses a danger and could cause a crash because of failure to stop.

Abs module has failed i have been told by some techs that work in dealerships that this has occured in other makes and models like mine. They are telling me it will cost me 900.00 to fix it ,meantime i have no abs brakes.

Apparent abs failure.i am the original owner 1999 chevrolet silverado 1500 4wd pickup.several times during the last four years (at least 5 distinct times i recall), the abs seemed to fail.all the incidents occurred when i was attempting to stop rapidly on a rough/bumpy road.the symptoms are the same each time:after starting to brake normally, the brake pedal drops a bit and there is a grinding noise for a few moments (a second or two at most) along with some significant resistance to the pressure of my foot on the pedal, then the resistance and the grinding disappear, and i lose the power brakes. If i lift my foot off the pedal and press down again, the power brakes are restored. The last time this happened (april 6), i nearly rear-ended someone at a stop light.i have complained of this problem to multiple dealer mechanics, but they have all stated that this is the normal way for abs to work.after the last incident, i removed the abs fuse.

I purchased a used 1999 chevrolet silverado 4wd in july and around sept of this year i had trouble breaking in low mph situations such as stop signs, lights and in parking situations where the abs would trigger on dry clean pavement causing many close calls where i almost rear ended vehicles or ran into buildings ect. There is a recall on this particular problem in "salt using states" which ironically does not include wisconsin or minnesota. The recall# is 05068 regarding wheel speed sensors in years 99 thru 02 models.

Abs brakes failed when applied hard on uneven road surface manufacturer notified twice.

Nhtsa campaign id number :05v379000according to this recall, the abs sensor can give false readings due to dirt and grim build up.gm's response for corrective action is to clean the sensor.what happens once the sensor is dirty again?i don't see how this could be a corrective action, because the chance of it happening again is great.my father owned this truck before me and had the same problem i am now having the abs engaging at low speeds, (i almost crashed twice, because of this).my father had the dealer repair the truck and at that time the service manager told my dad the only way to fix it was replace the hubs.the truck was under warranty so the service manager put down that the hubs were bad so my dad would not have to incur the cost. (sensor is warranty item, hubs are not). (country club chevrolet oneonta, ny) once again my father was told the sensor can not be replaced with out changing the hubs. I have also been told this by two other dealers. (norris chevrolet westfield , nj- sullivan chevrolet rosepark, nj).the hubs were replaced at 60,000 miles, at 72,000 the problem once again returned. So this has been a problem for about 7 months, i know when driving the truck to give myself extra stopping distance, it does not always do it mostly after sharp turns (pulling in drive way or parking lot).so if the hubs have to be replaced as perthree dealers, so why does the recall corrective action take about removing sensor and cleaning (see following)dealers are to remove the wheel speed sensor and thoroughly clean the wheel speed sensor mounting surface on the bearing, apply rust inhibitor to the cleaned surface, grease the mounting surface, reinstall the wheel speed sensor, and check the peak-to-peak output voltage to ensure the wheel speed signal is within specifications.i think gm needs to resolve the issue not just apply a temporary fix.regards philip j savarese.

1999 chevy, abs activates at low speeds ever since i bought the truck used inny 2 years ago. When the problem started it was hit and miss, but now it happens all the time at low braking speeds. I have replaced 1 low speed sensor that did not help, so i removed the abs fuse. Gm said that my problem fits the recall #05068, but i was not the original owner and live in nc that i was not going to be included in the recall. I feel that this recall should include all vehicles that have been titled in the "salt belt" states regardless of where they are now and who owns them.

Abs motor continues to run after switch off abs system failure could have caused major accident.

After turning offvehicle they can still hearabs engaging.cause unknown. Dealer notified.

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.

Pump motor relay in ebcm shorted causing pump motor to remain on. Needs ebcm, diagnosed by ginn motor co. On 1-21-02 (no problem with them, fine folks).this is a manufacturer design error. This module should have never been placed in the wheel well area where it isn't protected. There are numerous reports of these failures on various internet sites and this needs to be recalled.cost to repair this is $951.50, not including the $72 diagnosis i paid. I declined repair and will drive without abs. Contacted chevy once today....of many more to follow. Ok , chevrolet... Your turn... Are you commited to making the most dependable, longest lasting trucks?

In the last month i've had my abs brakes on my 1999 silverado engage at between 10 and 5 mph every time i stop..on three different occasionsif there hadn't been a curb in front of me io would have been crosswise on a heavy traffic street twice and once i'd have gone into a business front...no abs light has been on in the vehicle..i brought this up to the dealership and all they told me was that there was a service bulletin on this and no recall..in my opinion this is a very serious problem on a nearly 30,000 dollar vehicle and also an 850 dollar option..the parts alone are over 400 to 700 dollars...i checked several forums on the internet and this is a highly reported problem...my vehicles are kept in showroom condition and serviced well.

Abs module failed causing the abs pump to run contantly.there should be a safety recall issued to repair this safety issue due to loss of anti-lock braking.

The abs pump will not shut off unless the underhood fuse is removed. The brakes still operate somewhat, but not to their potential. Could cause accident. Out of warranty, have seen more than a dozen other truck owners same problem, same truck on chevrolet performance website.

When stepping onbrake pedal it will go always to the floor,and will not operate.two recalls had been received from manufacturer about this problem.

When slowing to a stop, brake pedal starts to pulse, then ,abs effect kicks in anddrivercannot stop vehicle.brakes have been questionable from beginning, however within the last 8 months have become increasingly unstable.during past month, there have been 5 "near misses" with other cars, garage doors and stationery objects where truck has failed to stop.

The ebcm (electronic brake control module) failed, leaving me with no anit-lock brakes.i believe this is due to the fact that they mounted this electrical system underneath the truck (exposed to all elements) rather than underneath the hood.in fact, chevrolet must believe the same thing, because they changed the design in 2000 (they now put this component underneath the hood).i know this has happened to many people (see discussion thread "silverado abs module failure" on http://www.4x4review.com/discussions/chevy/).furthermore, chevrolet wants to charge almost $1800 to fix this ($711 for just the part, but special tools are required to calibrate it).i think this cost is prohibitive (almost 10% cost of the vehicle) to many people, causing them to neglect this repair and go without abs.the central point of this complaint is that this is a design flaw and chevrolet refuses to provide any cost assistance..water can also get into the hydr,pump and brake down the brake fuel,causing brake failure.

Brakes have went all the way to the floor several times on the first occasion pedal went all the to the floor causing my truck to rear end the vehicle in front of me at a spead of 15mph i had no way of stoping the truck and could not avoid the car in front of me,i have read numerous complaints on your web site as well as many others i wonder might you do something or is general motors more powerfull then you.

The ebcm of the abs shorted causing the electric pump motor to run continously. There are only two methods to discontinue its operation, one is to pull the 60 amp fuse under the hood, the other is to disconnect the connector at the module, under the drivers side door. Researching this problem on the internet, i have located an unbelievable amount of information on the 1999 silverado abs failure. It appears to most common between 30k-60k miles. The manufacture has introduced a new part number for its replacement while contending there is no issue. The replcement cost is approximately $1000., while the actual dealer purchase price for the part is $386., it appears to create revenue. While there may be no safety issue related to this problem, i believe there is enough incidents to classify as a manufacture defect.

Dt:the abs would activate at a low speed when coming to a stop resultingin extended stopping distance. This happened frequently.the contactwould like to know why this vehicle was not included in the recall.(12/07/05)recall campaign#05v37900.*sc

Dt: abs enables itself whencoming to a low speed stop.the abs makes it hard to stop when it is enabled.no accidents.no repairs.a few close calls with almost hitting vehicles.

Anti-lock brakes do not work when applied. Contacted dealer.

Dt: truck does not brake properly, resulting inextendedstopping distances. Had 2 accidents as a result.the brakes were applied, but they do not stop vehicle. This could occur when standing on the brakes.had brakes replaced ,and mentioned this to dealer, whoignored this problem.

When the abs is activated due to a single wheel event (e.g. Braking over a bump in road), the brake pedal goes almost to the floor and the vehicle slowly come to a stop. I have ended up in an intersection once, and almost hit the vehicle in from of me three different times.it appears that the abs programming is too sensitive to this type of condition. If uncorrected, it will most likely lead to serious injuries or a death.i was lucky when i ended up in the middle of an intersection that no oncoming traffic existed.

Wheneverabs brakes were applied vehicle would fail to stop. Would lift foot off & applied brakes again before vehiclewas able to stop. Has taken to dealer 3 different times,each time brake problem could not be duplicated.problemwasintermittent.

When depressing brake pedal vehicle would go into extended stopping distance. Dealer has repaired vehicle 3 times . Tech stated normal operation for abs brakes. The brakes had failed six times and no solution had been found.the manufacturer indicated brake fluid as the possible cause, but there was not brake fluid leak.

Abs module went bad. Abs pump motor wouldn't stop running. I pulled the fuse and took it right to the dealer.they didn't have a module in stock. It's been over a week and it's still not fixed. I'm driving without abs.

Abs & brake lights come on intermittently. Took to dealer to have checked but lights were not on at the time. They did not even get in and test drive. I was told its a common problem caused by the abs modules and that its not a safety issue. People are driving around with brake warning lights illuminated and they are lead to believe they dont have a safety issue.

Vehicle experienced a brake loss when applying brakes before reaching a stop intersection.dealer was notified, and informed consumer thatabs motor needed to be replaced. Feel free to provide any further information.

This truck is only 2 years old and the abs system is out. This is a major safety issue because it affects your whole braking system. I just cannot believe that a company the size of gm would not be concerned. I have purchased over 25 gm units through my company for the last 10 years, but will never purchas another one.

Anti lock brakes; when going slower the anti lock brakes engage themselves.was never repaired.main brakes, both front and rear were replaced ( pads and rotors) after anunusually short amount of time. Left door glass was inoperative.tech replaced broken door glass regulator.

When applying the brakes the pedal softens andfeels likevehicle will not stop. The happens sporadically. Dlr says there is nothing wrong.

Dt: the consumer complained about an abs brake problem.the warning light stayed on, and the pump was constantly running until he pulled the fuse. There was recall05v379000 for a similar issue. The consumer stated that the manufacturer told him that there was a currently an investigation for more states to be included in the recall.the problem first started onseptember 23, 2005.

Dt: about a year in half agothe anti lock brakes starting acting up, when it was wet and preparing to stop the anti lock brakes would engage and the truck would not stop.code was left front sensor. This was replaced. Did not correct the problem.had the right front sensor replaced, did not correct the problem.the fuse was then unplugged just so i would have brakes. Currently,in vermont truck was due for inspection in june, and it will not pass inspection, with or without the anti lock brakes.spoke with elmore at gm in portland office, and he advisedto takevehicle to gm dealer and have a diagnostic test done.dealer cleaned both front speed sensors but did not guarantee it would solve the problem.

When vehicle is turned off electric module for the abs does not shut off.dashboard light continually on. Chevrolet will not take responsiblity.

Sometimes in heavy traffic, pushedon brake pedal and pedal went down to the floor,also had to pull off road to keep from rearending another vehicle,contacted dealer,and dealer stated had to read manual. Consumer was later informed by dealer that they are aware of a problem with the abs but do not have a remedy as of yet.

Was told cause unknown.tires have been rotated and balances 4 time in 6 months.tire dealer blames wheels or other mechanical problems.brake pedal will go to floorboard with slight pressure.have not had to make panic stop.vehicle vibrates under slight pull at low speeds as if pulling heavy load.

I already filled out a vehicle owner's questionnaire to send through the mail with my signature to authorize nhtsa to provide a copy of the report to the manufacturer. Reference no. 8008990. I included a copy of a recall notice on the 2000 chevrolet silverado 1500. The recall states: light duty pickup trucks equipped with 4-wheel disc brakes. Some of these vehicles have an abs motor containing an out-of-specification spring clip. This clip could allow the motor bearing to become misaligned. If misalignment occurs, eventually the abs would be non-functional. The base brakes would remain functional, but the dynamic rear proportioning system (drp), which optimizes front to rear brake balance, would become inoperative. This is the same malfunction my 1999 silverado 1500 has. The abs systems are identicle in the 1999 and 2000 silverado. The replacement part number is the same for a 1999 and a 2000. I don't believe this is a coincidence, that this part has failed in my 1999, when in fact this is the same part in the 2000's that were recalled.

We have taken very good care of our vehicles, because we try to maximize their lives.one day, the "brakes" light came on.i contacted my chevrolet dealer, who checked it out, then told me "you are better off just driving with it the way it is."when i asked why, i was told that gm has a problem with the abs systems going whacky, but will not do anything.i made several calls to gm, trying to plead my case and listing the several others and web sites created by some of them, that have had this same problem.i was coldly told that there had to be large numbers of people having this problem, like millions.this is a safety device that buyers have no choice whether to have or not, but it is not backed by the manufacturer!it is ridiculous!!!

When applying the brakesbrake pedal went to the floor andvehicle did not stop. This has happened three times. Dealer said it was normal.

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.*la

Upon placing vehicle in parkabs brake system was running after vehicle was turned off. Took vehicle to dealer, and mechanic advised consumerto unplug abs system or have it replaced.

When braking the abs motor will be activated and the brake pedal will get rock hard but does not stop the vehicle at all i have to let off the brake and press the pedal again to get vehicle to stop . Happens at all slow speeds and all the time on any road and any conditions even dry roads.

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.*la

Dt:the consumer vehicle had problem with it's abs brakes.while coming to a stop below 5 mph the abs would kick in while on dry pavement.

The antilock brakes released while braking causing the consumer to rear end another vehicle.nlm

I understand from reading that these abs modules go out often. Anything relating to the brakes would seem to be a saftey issue. Not to mention that the part itself is over $700.00 at the dealer which is the only place you can get it. The location seems to be a prime place for water to leak inside the module.

Dt: the contact states there isnhtsa recall campaign05v379000 regarding the anti-lock brakes. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however,it is not included in the recall due to the vin. The vehicle was repaired.

The abs control module went out on my 1999 chevy silverado c1500 truck (56,000 miles).the failure causes the abs pump to run continuously and renders the abs system inoperable, and the truck undriveable.the temporary solution is to remove the 60 amp abs fuse to make the pump stop running.my local chevy dealer says the repair will cost $1,200.based on the number of other failures with this same part, i feel that this is a defect from the manufacture and should be recalled/repaired by them.

When they turned off the car it would not turn off.took car to dealer, and they replaced module at consumer's expense.

Abs pump was constantly running, no abs braking action during that time. Also, this would have causedbattery to drain. Took vehicle to dealer who replaced abs pump.

My abs brakes are not working correctly on my 1999 chevy silverado 1500. When i try to stop the abs causes the brake pedal to "push" back at me and does not allow me to fully stop in a safe distance.i took the vehicle to the dealer for repairs and the entire wheel assemble was cleaned to remove rust from the hub. They say that is causing the abs sensor to send false readings.yet they say it is not going to be a recall issue because it only has been reported by a few people.well i am now reporting this in hopes of a more permanent solution such as a recall.i read that they recalled the trucks in canada but not here.this is a huge safety issue.it has happened to me going as slow as 5 mph and as fast as 40 mph.it is only a matter of time before someone is really hurt. I have no confidence in my trucks ability to stop now.

Dt*:the contact stated the abs activates at speeds of 5 mph or less.this caused the stopping distance to be increased.the vehicle has not been taken to dealer however; the fuse to the abs has been removed to deactivate the antilock brakes.there is a nhtsa recall, # 05v379000, regarding the service brakes, hydraulic: antilock.the vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however it is not included in the recall due to the vin.

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 dealershipin 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

The abs pump continually runs, rendering the system inoperable. Brakes still work, just no anti lock.

Truck has had excessive vibration and front end shimmy in the sterring - tires were replaced once by dealer and then again personally. Anti-lock brakes activate if braking even at slow speeds over bump or pavement ripples. Front end seems to lose contact with road easily when going over bump or ripples.( dot number: tire size: p235/75r16 )

The abs motor failed and needs to be replaced. The motor itself costs almost $800. More than 90% of my miles are highway miles. At my 40,000 mile brake check, the technician said i was only 30% into my original brake pads. I have heard of numerous failures of this component from other silverado owners. This is an important safety feature of this truck and it should be recalled and repaired by the manufacturer. My brake warning system is now disabled until this abs motor is replaced.

Abs brakes fail at low speeds, making it impossible to stop. Took it to the dealer (2-20-2006) with a recall relating to the abs brake system, and was told the recall didn't cover the problem with the truck. I was told if i had $1,100 to replace the ebcm motor relay circuit, that would solve the problem. I have found with only minimal research, there's a lot of folks out there with the same truck, or similar trucks having the same problem. This is an extremely dangerous situation in heavy traffic, the truck will not stop!!i have had to remove the abs fuse, and completely disable the abs system, in order to make this vehicle safe to drive.

My1999 chevrolet silverado 4wd had 48,00 miles on it when problems started.in good weather on dry smooth roads my abs would engage while i was stopping or slowing in a normal manner. Even though this was somewhat surprising i did not feel that the stopping distance was being compromised.then an incident occured while my wife and i were turning into a parking space at a retail store.as i was turning into the parking space i applied the brakes to solw the vehicle and it felt like i had no brakes, the pedal was very hard to push, felt like it would not move like it was stuck, and there was no braking action.i immediately believed that i was going to strike the vehicle ahead of me and continued to push the brake pedal with greater force.the result is that all of a sudden the brake moved forward and the antilock brakes engaged.the truck stopped before i struck the other vehicle.a good mechanic explained that his experience with chevry truck abs throwing false signals was that the sensors were probably dirty and needed cleaned.as a simple check of the abs i removed the 60 amp fuse for the antilock brake system.my brakes work very well now and i have not had a problem.i have not scheduled an appointment to get the problem fixed and after reading that your organization is now conducting an investigation into problems with chevrolet truck antilock brake failures i intend to leave the system as it is now until you finish your investigation.some information on my background.i am 54 years of age, a retired law enforcement officer,26 years service,having reached the rank of chief deputy/undersheriff.i have owned, worked on, and built old cars since i was a teenager.

Vehicle taken to salburry chevrolet for service and had the abs electronic module replaced at a $978.00 cost. Was informed by serviceman that he has replaced 4 of these modules in the past two months. I have notice that you have a service bulletin # sb618187 out on the same problem with these hydraulic motors. Any follow up you could give me on this issue would be appreciated, since the vehicle is only a couple years old and would like to see a re-call on this item come out. Thank you.

1999 silverado z71 pickupabs control module failed.chevrolet servicer joked that when they see one come in they don't even have to look at the vehicle to diagnose it because it is so common.he even stated that with the cost of the repair that it appears that chevrolet discovered a way to increase new vehicle sales.then he said maybe i should talk to a salesman while they make the repair.this is dangerous and certainly is no joking matter.researched and it is very obvious that this is not just an occasional problem.considering a vehicle costs $30k & the danger i think chevrolet should do a recall.

Anti-lock motor module fails, causing motor to run constantly even when ignition is off causing danger of fire. Contacted dealer, and was told it is a common problem and parts are not available due to high failure rate. Several chevrolet truck forums on the internet also revealed a common failure. Repair cost are $800.00-$900.00 and it appears many owners are simply pulling the 60 amp. Fuse and driving vehicles in this condition.

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 absfails 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 nhtsa 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.

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.

The investigation is nhtsa action number pe05020. On several occasions, the consumer says that he has been lucky to avoid accidents when traveling at low speeds. The problem seems to increase the stopping distance. Consumer has now disabled the abs due to the fear of the malfunction of the abs. The consumer says that road conditions doesn'tt seem to matter, wet, dry, cold, or hot the abs caused the vehicle to take an extreme amount of distance to stop.

I was driving home andabs light came on. When i got home the motor on the abs was still running.i had to pull the fuse to get it to stop. Ifound a lot of people on the web thathad the same problem.i think gm should recall the vehiclesand fix them right.

Abs module kept running at all times, even with ignition off. Dealer did diagnostic and determined abs module failed and needs to be replaced at a ridiculous cost of $1000. Warranty is expired.

99 chevrolet pu 3/4 ton 52,000 miles abs went out at approximately 50,000 miles recall was made for repair but was stopped at the missouri/illinois state line. Repair of abs was $1168.72.complained to gm who agreed abs is a problem but agreed after review to possibly pay half.

Started my truck one day after shopping and a loud humming or buzzing noise was coming from under driver side of the truck. Had to disconnect the power from the abs module because it would sit there an run with the truck turned off.took truck to the dealer and they said that the modiule was bad and need to be replaced. I had 40,000 miles and was out of warranty.was told that it would cost $1000 to be replaced and that they have had many of these trucks come in with the same problem.they said it is so common that they think if i fixed it that it probably wiould happen again and the part would be only warrantied for one year. Gm has produced a faultly part obiviously and should fix it.now i have a $30.000 truck that has no anti lock brakes and a abs light and a emergency light on my dash that will not go off until the part is fixed.

Abs motor runs constantly. Dealer wants $700-$800 to replace module. Found electrical components to be defective and not sufficiently rated for this unit as manufactured by gm. Replacement parts up to required ratings cost only about $40. Gm will not replace components.

The anti-lock brake control valve malfunctioned at low speed when the brakes were applied on a rough surface road.the control valve has been replaced by the dealership.my concern is this seems to be a very common issue with the 1999 year model silverado chevrolet pickups.this valve is very expensive and i hope this is not going to happen again but if it does i don't feel this is fair to the owners of these vehicles.i see there has been 47 complaints logged to date and i know of at least one other that has not logged a complaint.the fix is either replace the valve or disconnect the system so the anti lock system does not work.i feel we ( the public ) pay enough for these vehicles that we are entitled the features we pay for.*nlm

Abs system activates at approximately 6 mph at every stop.

Dealer states that the abs decoder motor failed. Quoted $700 to repair. Abs light remains on and a humming noise from under the truck when it is shut off. Had to pull abs fuse to stop the humming noise, but now truck does not have abs brakes functional. After doing a simple search on the internet, i have found hundreds of cases of consumers paying$1000 to repair this problem and many more driving the vehicle with the fuse out either unable or unwilling to pay the repair bill. This is a factory defect which should result in a factory recall.

Dtconsumer stated when the vehicle was turned off the abs motor pump continued to run, which caused the battery to run down.the abs has been disconnected.the local service dealer states the abs sensor needed to be replaced.

Abs pump wont shut off, caused a dead battery which in turn caused me to be late for work on a very important day at work which caused me to be transferred. I went to chevy dealer and they said around $1000 to fix or to pull the fuse. I pulled the fuse but i now have to drive around with 2 lights lit on my dashboard at all times. My next vehicle will be a toyota!!!

While driving my 1999 silverado to work i had to stomp on the brakes to try to avoid hitting a deer.at that moment the abs controller failed and subsequently i collided with the deer. I also have checked various forums on the subject and have found that there have been far too many abs failures on the 1999 chevy silverados.gm should be held accountable.

1999 chevrolet silverado had catastrophic anti-lock brake failure. Antilock breaks are now totally inoperable. This is caused by a poorly designed control module, and could potentially cause an accident. The same vehicle has a fuel gauge problem in which the fuel gauge works only intermittantly, and is rarly accurate when it does work. How am i supposed to feel safe when driving this vehicle? how can i in good conscience let my wife drive this vehicle, and feel that she is safe? how could gm not recall, and fix these problems?? please answer my questions!!

1999 chevy silverado electronic brake control module has a defect that involves a relay inside the ebcm that sticks and will eventually cause it to stop working.the consumer stated a technical service bulletin had been issued and what was recommended for fixing the problem, however the consumer had the work and it didn't correct the problem. In doing some research it was discovered that the problem for the abs failure is with the ebcm itself.the consumer stated the only way to fix the problem was is to replace the ebcm, but the dealership have been instructed not to replace it.

Abs failure. Abs pump continued to operate although the vehicle was turned off. Consumer was unable to restart vehicle as a result.

My 1999 chevrolet silverado pickup truck has the known problem with the anti-lock brake system going into a pulsating mode when stopping at low speeds. This is a significant saftey hazard, and the truck is unsafe to drive. My chevrolet dealer refuses to fix this defect because the truck is not under warranty, and the recall for this problem does not include minnesota, which is the state with the most salt used on highways of any state i have ever lived in.

Consumer states abs module failed dueto defective electrical wires. Dealer hads been contacted.

I have a 1999 silverado with 49,000 miles. We just changed the tires 6 days ago and we got in the vehicle and started it up. The abs light came on and would not go off and a humming could be heard under the vehicle. I shut it off and it would not stop. I unplugged the abs module and it went quite. We took the truck to the chevrolet dealer on monday and they told us the abs module had failed and it would cost us about $900.00 to replace it. They checked with chevrolet to see if they would warranty any of the part and they said since the truck was over 2 years old they would not make good on any of the cost. He told us it was a poor design and they had a lot of problems with these going out. This apparently should be a recall but some one in the right places must be keeping it from happening. I have always been a gm preferred person but i am beginning to have my doubts.

The abs motor was constantly running, even when the abs was not in use.*scc

I purchased a 1999 chevrolet silverado extended cab one month ago used from a local dealer. As i have read on numerous web sites and forums many thousands of people encountered the same problem as i have, abs electronic brake control module failure. I drove home ,parked the truck in the driveway, and the next morning started it up,and the abs pump stayed engaged. As to not cause damage to the system i removed the abs system 60 amp fuse, totally disabling it , and will not drive the truck until i get new part. Many can't afford to pay for the expensive replacement cost of a part that obviously failed prematurely, and have chosen the cheaper route by removing a 50 cent fuse that totally disabled the abs system, asnot to cause further damage to the abs system or the rest of the vehicle others have paid out of pocket for the repairs and/or replacement of parts. Meanwhile all of these vehicles are still used daily on our city streets and highways without the proper vacationing equipment that the manufacturer installed and intended to be used asadvertised as a safety feature. Through conversations with other mechanics, as i am one myself proudly serving in the military for 17 years,dealers andmanufacturer knew about the failure,and admitted that a problem existed.yet nothing was done whether voluntary or mandatory. To fix the problem.i will fix the problem that i have with my abs system because i could not live with myself, knowing that through my failed actions i may cause injury or death to innocent people. Let me conclude with a saying we have in the military, service before self. Thank you for your time.

Abs control module.*la

Anti-lock brake pump developed internal short. Vehicle only had about 47,000 miles on it. Chevrolet dealer quoted $1000 to replace pump. Called 1 800 complaint number. They called dealer and worked the price down to $400. Still too much for me to pay for a defective part that should have been replaced for nothing.

Abs controller failure, motor running with ignition off.

Anti-lock module unit drained battery, was to expensive to replace so it was disconnected,after researching that it was not to be a safety recall by manufacturer.resulted in brakes being locked up when attempting a curve and vehicle rolling over.

The abs module has just gone out on my 1999 chevrolet silverado (with 49k miles).according to research that i have done on the internet i have learned that this is a very widespread problem.all you need to do is do a search on yahoo with the terms "chevrolet silverado abs module" and a huge amount of responses come up.gm is charging between $1000 and $1500 to fix the problem.since this is such an expensive repair, to solve this problem what most people are doing to solve this problem is pulling the fuse on the abs system.this means that they have no anti-lock brakes and the brake light is constantly on.therefore there is no way to tell if there is an additional problem with the brakes.i feel that this is a serious safety concern and gm should be forced to address this problem.

The abs module failed.mrscc

(1)parked 1999 silverado for 3 days.(2)when started upon return, abs module would not shut down.(3)dealership replaced part (old part not available) cause was due to corrosion.

The vehicle's abs module malfunctioned.thebrakes worked but the abs was defective.

Within 3 weeks of having the recall on the front wheel sensors completed, the ecbm on the abs system failed requiring its replacement. The abs pump ran constantly after this failure and would have run the battery down or runied the pump had i not know to pull the 60a abs fuse. The pump is not rated for contiuous duty.

At 55000 miles theabs light came on. Theabs motor continued to run even when engine was turned off.this has occured on numerous occassion and appears to be a safety issue.nhtsa had lots of complaints on this issued. Is something going to be done to force chevrolet to have a recall.

Abs system failed.warning light is on contantly and sound of motor running under the vehicle.had to pull 60 amp abs fuse under hood to keep from draining battery.

Abs motor runs continually, even after the key is removed.pulling the 60 amp fuse is the only way to shut it off.now the abs and brake system warning light are on.

The abs pump continued to run after the vehicle was shut off.

Chronic abs system failure.should be recalled.see link:http://www.carsurvey.org/viewmorecomments_review_30093_1.htmlhow can gm get away with selling trucks with obviously faulty abs systems?

Anti lock brake system failed.module must be replaced at a cost of $1000 plus, as diagnosed by both a chevrolet dealership's service department and an independent ase-certified mechanic.i know of others with same make and model who have had same problem.

The sbs light came on. The sbs modulator under the frame started running and even ran after the engine was shut down. Also the brake warning light remaines on in the dasboard i pulled a fuse to shut it down.

My 1999 chevrolet silverado antilock braking system is not operating correctly.when nearing a stopping point the antilock system engages and excessive braking distance results.there have been numerous near misses and once ran into an intersection nearly hitting other traffic.this is not acceptable performance for a machine with only 48,000 miles as no changes or services have been made to the vehicle in the brake component area.i have not performed the service as this was a recent incident and have learned about a possibility of a recall.

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.*la

Consumer called complaining about having problems with the abs module. The vehicle was diagnosed and the consumer was told that it needs to be replaced.*pha new abs module was installed after a 2 day wait for the parts to arrive.

The abs (anti-lock break system) motor went out on my 1999 chevrolet silverado.the motor will begin running as if stuck and will become defective.i was driving down u.s. Highway 75 in traffic when someone cutting me off caused me to step hard onto my brakes.because this part was defective it caused my truck to make a complete turn around because all 4 wheels locked up.i believe my truck would have made a safe stop if the abs had been working.this incident didn't causethe abs failure.the cost of this safety product is high and i can't afford to fix it but i believe it is a safety issue that needs to be looked into.i contacted reliable chevrolet and they said they had had the same problems with other trucks. *nlm

Electronic control module for the abs system failed. Dealer notified. Gm repaired the unit at 50% of the estimated cost.the consumer felt the component should be recalled because of the failure rate on the 1999 chevrolet silverado. *scc*nlm

While applying the brakesvehicle failed to stop completely, and skidded. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, andmechanic determined that theabs control module needed to be replaced.

My 1999 4x4 automatic with abs as i turned off the ignition i heard a humming sound coming from the abs pump motor, it continued to hum until i removed the fuse so as not to run down the battery. A buddy said gm knows about the problem and will do nothing. I need a new control module that will cost between $500 and $900. The truck only has 44000 on it.

At 40,000 milesabs motor would continue to run even aftervehicle is turned off.dealer notified, and informed consumer thatproblem was due to a broken abs electronic control module. Feel free to provide any further information concerning this matter.

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.

When braking at any speed consumer would hear a noise coming from the front end. Then ,the abs warning light would illuminate. Dealership informed the consumer of the abs pump failure. The problem had not been resolved.

Failure of anti lock brake (abs) control module.

The brakes locked when being applied.dealer stated that abs module wasdefective.the abs light was still on. Vehicle was not repaired.

Vehicle w/ 40,400 miles. Abs warning light on vehicle comes on as start vehicle. Abs motor/module under driver's side of cab continues to run after ignition turned off.unit is hot to touch. No abs if unit disconnected to seek repair.

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

Defective ebcm .

I own a 1999 chevrolet silverado extended cab 4wd pickup. The antilock brake system electronic control module (ebcm) locked on and would not turn off even with the ignition turned off. When i contacted a chevrolet dealer, i was told to remove the 60 amp fuse in the electric control center under the hood, and that will turn the abs module off so as to not drain the battery. I was also told that this is a common problem with this year and model truck and as of now gm will not replace it free of charge. I was told that the cost to replace the module was at least $1,000 and many replaced modules go bad also, but that i could still drive my truck without the abs system and i would have standard braking, the abs and brake light would just remain illuminated on the dash panel. I searched the web using google and found more of the same complaint then i could count. After going on the nhtsa web site i found about 100 complaints of the same problem that i have. I also checked the nhtsa recall list and found a safety recall (nhtsa recall no. 00v055/gm recall no. 00013) on 10,600 2000 chevrolet silverado, s10, and serra trucks for a defective antilock brake system motor that may become non-functional and cause the dynamic rear proprotioning (drp) system, which optimizes front to rear brake balance, to become inoperative, increasing the likelihood of a crash. Now after checking in a repair manual and with an independent mechanic i discovered that the same thing will happen on my truck without the abs module activated, and gm dealers are telling people with this problem that it is an acceptable practice to drive the truck with the abs deactivated. Are 1999 chevrolet truck owners more expendable then 2000 gm truck owners? i would think that there are probably as many 1999 gm trucks out on the roads as 2000 trucks, and i wonder how many have the abs system disabled. I feel the nhtsa needs to look into this unsafe condition.

The anti-lock brake motor and module go out around 50,000 miles.i know of at least 5 1999 chevrolet silverado's that this has happened to in roswell alone.the anti-lock motor will constantly run until you pull the fuse on the system.once the fuse is pulled you have no anti-lock brakes and the anti-lock and brake light stay on in the dash.to me this sounds like it could cause some accidents. But i have not heard of it causing any.

Abs fault indication. Abs motor runs continuously even with ignition off. Fuse removal or battery disconnect required to correct abs motor runaway.

Electronic brake control module failure in 1999 chevrolet silverado. Mileage at time of failure around 19500. Chevrolet refuses any help with this problem.vin#[xxx]i contacted chevrolet directly with this problem.this seems to be a safety issue that chevrolet will not address.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The problem occurred suddenly when i noticed a constant humming noise coming from under the driver's side door. I also noticed the abs and brake lights were on. I called craig smith auto group, a chevy dealership. The tech that inspected my truck said there was a problem with the abs module & motor and both needed replaced. He quoted me a price of $2856.00 for the repair. I asked if it would be covered under my extended warranty & he said it was not covered. So as a temporary fix so the battery would not go dead, he pulled the abs fuse. Still as of today, the part has not been replaced because of the high cost. I also did research online & found many complaints with the same issue happening.

The abs motor continued to run after the vehicle was turned off.

Abs control module failed @ 32,964 miles, causing the abs pump to continually run even when vehicle is turned off.

The abs motor continued to run after the vehicle was turned off.

Rear wheels would intermittently lock up when applying brakes at low speed. Dealer notified, and replaced abs senor.problem still reoccurring, andvehicle is being retuned to dealer. Feel free to provide any further information.

The ebcm of the abs has internal short, causing the anti-lock braking system to stop working. This occurred at 54200 miles. The service writer for thornton chevroletlithia springs, ga. Stated this was a problem with the 1999 chevrolet silverado. The estimate to replace the ebcm was $1000. The abs will not work with out the ebcm. This is a major problem with the 1999 silverado and should be recalled and repaired at gmc expense.

At less than 50,000 miles, i experienced failure of electronic abs control module. Got out of vehicle and noticed there was the sound of an electric motor running even after the ignition was turned off. Under the truck i disconnected the abs module wiring harness.took the truck to the dealer and was advised to just pull the 60 amp fuse and live with the problem.found out that it is over $1,000 to have fixed. Dealer indicated there were numerous failures but chevrolet won't authorize repair when out of warranty.this is the last gm product i will own.*nlm

1999 chevrolet silverado z71, 5.3l v8, 24,750 miles when incident occurred.while pulling out of my garage, the "abs" light on the dashboard came on and the electronic brake control module (ebcm) ran continuously, even with the ignition key off, and removed.as advised by dealer, i pulled the 60a fuse and the ebcm stopped running.i brought truck in to dealer and was advised that the ebcm module would need replacement at a cost of $1,039.68 ($807. For the part, $232.06 labor).from internet research, i discovered this was a very common problem with this year/model truck.also discovered that many people are driving the vehicle with the abs brakes disabled (ebcm 60a fuse pulled) because of the high repair cost.i fell this is a major safety hazard because the dashboard indicator lights, "abs" and "brakes" are both illuminated all the time once the ebcm module is disabled.this negates the ability to determine if a brake failure may be imminent because the indicator lights are always on.i also feel that if a person were to pull the fuses to these warning lights so they no longer illuminate, as well as disable (pull the 60a fuse)the ebcm module, and subsequently trade the vehicle in (to avoid the expensive repair), the dealer may not discover this fact and could resell the truck with the customer assuming he/she has antilock brakes when in fact they don't.this could result in a severe accident because handling a skid with abs is different that handling a skid without abs.in addition, in this scenario, if the primary brake system were to fail, there would be no indication from the dashboard warning lights, maybe resulting in death or injury from an accident. *la

While i was 1100 miles away from home on vacation there was a humming noise from underneath my vehicle. After returning home it was taken to a local garage and i was told from there head mechanic that it was a shorted out control module for the abs motor. The mechanic did not even look under the vehicle because he said he was well aware of this product failing due to all of the other 1999 chevy silverado's that had the same problems.the local mechanic pulled the fuse out and that stopped the motor from running.*laafter that, i called the dealer that i bought the certified vehicle from and they told me that it would cost me a fee to have them look at it, i told them that i had a certified mechanic already look at and they informed me that they needed to have a g.m. Mechanic look at it before they could do anything for me. So after paying $60 for them to tell what i already knew. They told me that i would have to pay $1200 to $1400 for the new part and labor. I am still driving it today without the abs this i strongly feel this is a safety issue, for one the abs light is always lit along with the brake light. So there would be no way of telling if there is more wrong with the breaks if something else would break on them. Also, isn't abs suppose to be a safety device compared to the mechanical breaks of the 80's. G.m. Needs to be responsible for this > recall in order! *la

Abs module failure.

Abs module failed--began experiencing problems in june 2002.sometimes worked but often didn't--finally had the abs disconnected in feb 2003. *nlm

Abs module continues to run when key is shut off and eventually kills battery.i have come across several situations where abs would have helped skidding;sliding on snowy roads. I have been driving my truck for quite sometime without the peace of mind that abs could give people just waiting for that situation where someone gets seriously injured in my truck if they borrow it and drive it not knowing the abs is not working!!! i don't think to tell them because its been so long since it has worked.i can' t afford to pay for the repair, but i believe gm should at the very least acknowledge the problem to the current vehicle owners and offer some kind of full or even partial compensation for this potential safety issue.

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 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. *la

The anti-lock brake module failed.the service department(non dealer) stated that there were 16 service bulletins for this vehicle.the consumer requested reimbursement.scc

The abs control module on the 1999 chevrolet silverado has been going bad prematurely.a great number of these trucks are having this unit's motor run continuosly, causing the owners to remove the abs 60 amp fuse to stop the loud humming sound from under the driver's seat. These modules are going out just after the 36,000 mile warranty expires.the cost to replace this unit is extremely high. Many owners refuse to spend this much money on a part that should last much longer than that, causing them to keep the fuse out. By doing this, it makes the brake warning lights to stay on all the time. If another problem in the brake system would develop, the driver would have no prior warning something is wrong. That may be a real serious hazard in the years to come. No warning-no brakes!gm has known the problem exists, and since improved the later model silverados. At least they could re-wire a new brake light for those who choose not to have the abs feature on their vehicle. Must have an hydraulic brake warning of some kind to avoid serious accidents! approx. Cost of repair is close to $1,000. Too much for the average working class american! should be recalled by gmc before the accidents start piling up.

Abs control module failure

Abs electronic brake control module failed--just like all the rest, started truck, heard pump noise from under cab, pulled fuse, almost $1000 to fix on a truck with 57,000 miles on it.general motors needs to make this right with everyone.i'll be buying a ford or toyota next time around.

After turning off the engine i noticed a noise coming from under thetruck. I took it to a local dealer and was told the abs control module was no good. The mechanic pulled the fuse which shut the motor down. He indicated they have had several vehicles with the same problem but chevrolet wouldn't authorize the repair when out of warranty. He said the part itself would cost $800. Seems to me any problem with a brake component should be considered a hazard and a recall should be issued on these vehicles. *nlm

While driving the abs light appeared on the dashboard andremained on until the vehicle was turned off.consumer was able to drive the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanicdeterminedthat the abs module needto be replaced due to worn out parts.*mr

Brakesabs module1999 chevrolet silverado30,000 milesabs brake module continuously "running" even with engine shut off.had to pull 60 amp abs fuse.i see there are 68 of these identical problems out just on this site for this.is gm doing anything on this?this should be a saftey related issue that cannot just be ignored.

Abs motor continues to run after vehicle is shut off.many consumer have elected to have the motor disconnected due to the high cost of repair. *ph *nlm

Abs control module faliure, taken to dealer, said $1,200 to fix. I see alot of people are having the same problem. Gm should address this issue. This causes and extremely dangerous situation in heavy, slow moving traffic. The truck will not stop. How many injuries, or worse yet, deaths must occur before gm address's this very dangerous situation??

I was driving the truck when i applied the brakes, and when i released them a constant "humming" noise was present from the underside of the truck. The brake light came on, abs warning light also stayed on. When i took the truck in to be repaired i was then told the anti- lock brake module was bad and the cost would be around 1000 dollars to repair. I had no choice but to repair the truck. When i called chevrolet with the promblem i was told i was'nt the first with the promblem but since my truck was out of warranty it wasnt chevrolet responsibility to help with any of the repair costs. I even went as far and submitted a letter to the customer service deptartment, and again was told that it chevrolet would not take resposibility for the defective part. I have since spoken with several other people who own the same style truck with milage ranging from 38000 to 66000 all have had the same response, the trucks are out of warranty and chevrolet would not help with the repair costs. I believe a part of this magnitude should not go bad in such a short amount of time.

Antilock brake ebcm defective.

At approximately 38,000 miles, i began experiencing occasional humming noises and lock up of my abs brakes.at 42,000 miles my abs brakes went off while crossing an intersection in the rain and would not go off.i was forced to remove the fuse for the abs to shutoff the pump and therefore no longer have safety benefit of anti-lock brakes. I have six other friends who have had the exact same problems under similar weather conditions.if this is as common a problem as it appears to be, why hasn't the nhtsa gone after chevrolet to fix this potentially life-threatening problem.i'm sure a survey of chevrolet owners would provide a wealth of information as to the extent of this problem.bc *nlm

The abs warning light came on, after turning vehicle off, abs pump continued to run, i had to remove the fuse to make it stop.

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. The abs motor pump wouldn't stop running.the consumer had to unhook the pump to keep the battery from running down . *ph

Consumer stated, while driving and without warning, the abs failed causing a loud noise and extended stopping distance.the dealer was notified.tsthe abs module failed.scc

1999 silverado abs module failed at 64,000 miles.

My truckis now out of warranty and i am having problems with the abs. I was driving home and 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. My mechanic told me 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 is not doing anything about it. My mechanic said that when he called the local dealership and explained the problem to them they immediately told him it was the module.they said that they keep no less than 3 in stock at anytime because they go out so often. If this is the case why hasn't gm looked into it.when you pay $30,000 for a vehicle you should not have to spend another $1,000 for one part to keep it on the road.dl

Abs motor runs constantly with or without truck running or key in ignition.

One and 1/2 years ago on february 13, 2004, the abs system sounded an alarm, and i removed the 60 amp fuse that controls the abs system.when i returned home, i made contact with ressler's chevrolet of mandan, nd, and they indicated to me it was the control module, and it would cost over $800 to repair.i still had brakes, and they continue to work to this day.the abs system remains off although my brake light and abs light are both on.at this cost i was not about to repair such a costly item on my own.i feel there should be a recall on this item, because it is a mandated safety product.at this time i have over 124k miles on my 99 silverado.i am aware of a recall on a wheel sensor corrosion problem on this type of vehicle, but that it would not apply to a vehicle in north dakota.to me this makes absolutely no sense, because i do travel out of the state, and there is a lot of salt used the streets of bismarck nd.

When brakes are applied at low speed the abs pulsates,and brakes must be applied in full brake lock to stop vehicle.

The abs light came on and did not go off.when i turned off vehicle at two different locations, there was something "still running".i immediately took it to my mechanic who advised system had to be replaced or battery would run down and there was a likely possibilty of an accident occuring as brakes would not be operating properly.this vehicle only had 40,000 miles on it and regular maintenance has been maintained.this was a major expense ($1078.35) plus a car rental was required as this is my only means of transportation.

Abs module failure on a 99 silverado 4wd.this failed before the first brake job.when the module fails the motor runs until the battery is dead.replacement of the module is a ridiculous $1000 for 15 mins worth of work.this should be warranted on time not mileage. *nlm

The anti-lock control unit hums and had to be disconnected. I was told by chevrolet that would cost $700 to $800 to fix. I have since spoken to other chevrolet owners who have the same problem. This is on a 1999 chevrolet ext cab silverado pickup

While applying the brake pedal, the abs light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. Vehicle failed to stop completely.vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, andmechanic determined that the wheel speed sensor needed to be replaced.

Went to leave for work this morning only to find that my abs light had come on and that my abs pump was running continuously, upon hearing this all i knew to do is to pull the fuse under the hood to stop it. Once at work i find that this is a major problem with a lot of chevy trucks and that gm was not planning on doing something about it? this is an outrage, why wouldn't they own up to the mistake of the abs module failing? this would be considered in my eye a serious matter. What if this had happened to me driving down the road and had to hit the brakes to avoid a crash or worse a child crossing the road? abs would have failed!!! gm really needs to own up to this, from all the posts i have seen on the net from thousands of truck owners are they even listening?

After the vehicle was turned off, the abs pump continued to run.

Abs warning light came on and stayed on. Vehicle's motor continued to runwith keys out of the ignition, and turned off. Driver had to remove fuse to disengage the motor. Dealership replaced the abs module.

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

Consumer stated the anti lock brake control module failed. Mr

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.*la

Abs failed with vehicle in motion. Abs motor/pump ran with the vehicle and shut it down. Dealer replacedthe abs module to correct the fault.dealer personnel commented that this was a rather prevalent failure mode on this model truck.dealer also stated that the replacement abs module was an improved design, and the had not experienced any failures of the improved modules.chevrolet customer assistance refuses to acknowledge that a problem exists and willtake no action to correct this deficiency. ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis***763173

Abs module failed after only 28,000 on my 1999 silverodo. Replaced at a cost of $1069 to me.

1999 silverado abs sensors were replaced due to failure.the consumer had replaced one sensor prior to learning of the recall because of extended stopping distance.the consumer vehicle is not included in the abs sensor recall 05v-379because he lives wisconsin.

While applying the brakespedal went to the floor. Abs braking light appeared on the dashboard and remained on.the driver took vehicle to the dealer for inspection, andmechanic informed determined that the abs module unit needed to be replaced. The consumer stated that the brake surge seems to be from the front.*tc

Abs kicks (sound and feel in the brake pedal) in at very low speed (as i came trying to come to a stop) and i loss all braking capability no matter how hard i press the brake pedal.the first time this happened, it caused an accident (hit the vehicle in front of me). I learned that by pumping the brake pedal very fast when this happens, i can regain brake control.this problem is very repeatable. I finally had to pull the abs fuse to disable it. I have already had the abs control modeule replaced once.

The abs motor continued to runwhen the engine was turned off. The abs motor fuse had to be pulled to disengage the motor. The cause was a malfunctioned microprocessor

Noticed a loud buzzing sound coming from near the frame under the driver's side door.buzzing present with key on and off.visual inspection indicated that it probably had something to do with the abs.pulled the abs fuse, and buzzing stopped.further research revealed that the ebcm went bad, and must be replaced at a cost of nearly $1000.also, seems to be a very frequent issue with 1999 and 2000 chevy trucks.

Abs failure in my 1999 chevrolet silverado,abs motor runs constantly weather truck is running or not.pulled 60amp fuse to stop motor, so now this vehicle has no antilock brakes

Anti-lock brake control module failure.my truck has brakes now but no anti-lock because fuse was pulled to keep battery from running down due to control module humming.

Abs pump began to run and continued even after the engine was shut off.it continued until i pulled the fuse, now the abs light and the brake light are lit all the time.repair was quoted around $1000 range.seems like a faultyfet transistor should be a warranty repair, or at least affordable.in the mean time i have a safety issue with a brake light that is always on and not a reliable indicator of the worthiness of my standard brake system.

I have a 1999 silverado extended cab truck.starting about three years ago i noticed that the anti-lock brakes would engage when driving at slow speeds and going over a bump...with my foot on the brake pedal.when this occurs, it seems as if i have no stopping power at all.i have not had an accident, but i have certainly come close.because of this, i am very careful when applying brakes in a bumpy area.as you can see, i live in south carolina.however i am from wisconsin and have made monthly trips over the last three years,lasting 7-14 days,due to the illness of my mother.my truck has been subjected to salt covered roads on many occasions.i understand that the recall gm has agreed to only affects northern states.it is my hope that you will re-think this recall and take into consideration that people do travel with their vehicles.by the way, we do use salt in south carolina as well.

Abs malfunctioned at 45k miles.*phthe consumer did some research on the vehicle and discovered there was a recurring problem with the electronic control unit for the abs valve shortening out which caused the abs pump to continuously run.

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. *nlm

Abs module has failed at 66,500 miles. The abs module stays running with the engine turned off. The power cable has to be unplugged at the abs module under the driver side door to turn it off. I have discovered that this is a common problem by browsing the internet. Also, this part is heavily stocked by parts distributors because of this common failure. It has not been fixed yet but will cost over $900 to replace this abs module.

Upon starting vehicle abs indicator stayed on. There was problem with abs motor running while driving or when vehicle was shut off.

Dt:the consumer complained about an abs brake problem. The problem first startedon september 7, 2005. Nhtsa recall 05v379000 concerningthe abs sensorwas issued. The consumer had contacted the manufacturer multiple times.the manufacturer toldthe consumerto take vehicleto a dealership to have the vehicle inspected.the dealership inspected the vehicleand said that the abs module was bad, not the sensors.the abs lightstayed on even when the vehicle was turned off. The consumer was concerned that the problem could causean accident.he feltthat the problem was the same problem as mentioned in the recall, but just a different cause.(11/08/05) the abs module shorted, which caused it to run and be activated at all times.*sc

During normal operation, the abs electronic control unit catastrophicallly failed leading to a battery to abs hydraulic pump motor short circuit.the pump motor coninuously ran even with the ignition off unitll the abs fuse was removed.a new control unit was required to restore the system to operation.this unit cost $877.apparantly the same problem was part of a 2000 model year recall, but did not include 1999 year vehicles.i have found two other 1999 vehicles that experienced the exact same failure.i have the old module which i can make availible for testing.

Gm's safety recall "05068 - front wheel speed sensor corrosion" failed to correct the low speed abs activation problem on my 1999 chevrolet silverado truck.the gm dealer followed the gm recall bulletin instructions, and even replaced both front wheel speed sensors.after the work was complete, there was no change to the problem where the abs activates every time i apply the brakes and the vehicle is about to come to a stop.the gm dealer said there was nothing more they were approved to do on the vehicle beyond what they had already done.

When riding on a decline the sensor on the vehicle disengages the brakes, allowing the vehicle to pick up speed. Dealer can't duplicate the problem.

One right rear brake pad wore away to nothing and was grinding away at the rotor and when i called veronica perez,a g.m. Customer rep. She called ross moody to talk to the service manager and he told her that one brake pad out of eight failed because of rust.i have never before seen one brake pad go bad unless there were something wrong with the brake caliper or asembly but g.m. And the dealership are both saying nothing is wrong but i know there is.i'm retired from g.m. And can't afford to put new brakes and rotors on my vehicle in another 27,000 miles when my warranty expires and this problem happens again.

Will return vehicle to dealer for repairs. No safety defect listed in the summary.

Since new, brake performance has been erratic in normal driving situations, varying from fair to very poor. Pedal is spongy and requires excessive travel. Pedal falls whehn stopped a lights. In normal stopping, one must keep pushing harder and harder on the pedal to maintain a constant rate of speed decrease. Ordinary stops become panic stops because braking action is not predictable. Anti-lock feature engages with slight bumps and at slow speeds, lengthening stopping distances unexpectedly.

On 10-1-99 i complained to my selling dealer about a metallic noise coming from the right side of my vehicle when i would go over a bump or back out of my driveway.i've complained numerous times since then and each time the dealer says that they can't find or duplicate the noise or they blame it on one of my aftermarket accessories.the last time i took it in on 10/16/00 the dealer told me that it was my aftermarket exhaust system making the noise.i didn't install the exhaust until 7/00 and i've complained well before this time about this noise.well today i got under my truck to investigate for myself what could be the source of this aweful noise and that's when i discovered that both of my rear brake caliper assemblies were loose.i was able to wiggle both of them with my hand but the right rear was the loosest.at this point i decided not to touch them anymore, i considered tightening them myself but decided against that just in case anybody should wish to inspect them.i immediately went down to my selling dealer and spoke with a manager but of course they told me to bring it back in on monday, 10/30/00 instead of immediately repairing the defect that i've complained about so many times.this is definately a safety hazzard and one can only immagine what would happen if the bolts came all the way out completely and the brakes were applied.i would like to see these trucks recalled and the brake bolt torque checked to insure that it doesn't happen to anybody else.

More force than normal needed on the brake pedal for braking, grinding, or pulling to one side or the other, during braking that something may be wrong.it appears from other complaints that i have read, this is a common problem with this vehicle.

Took truck to have brakes done on all four wheels. (could not stop but was able to steer around trouble, was reason for doing this) rear brakes and pads had to be replaced, they could not cut the rotors due to rust.i have never seen this condition in forty five years of working on cars or trucks, the rust ate away the pads to 1/3 their size. This condition should not have happened. I can see changing rotors because of heat or metal on metal, not from rust. I have the parts that have been replaced.the front rotors and pads did not need to be replaced. This happened in less than 5,000 miles as i had a new york emissions and safety inspection and it passed both.

Purchased car, 10/06/2000. Upon braking over bumpy road, brakes seemed to slip, and made a thumping sound. Dealer said front brake rotors were out of round. The rotors had just been replaced, and they refaced both front brake rotors. On, 11/01/2001, after a car wash, the abs motorran non-stop after the car was turned off. Dealer "tested" abs system, advised pump motor had "failed" and replaced it, at a cost of $979.04.on march 20,2001, the abs light came on when i was leaving work. Dealer advised that the part they had replaced in nov,2001, had "failed" and they would replace free of charge. They called to say when they did replace it, it shorted out, and now we needed a "modulator"at a cost of $600.00 plus labor. I believe that this is a serios safety issue with these trucks and i know that many of them have had the entire abs systems replaced. If chevy knows the location of the abs is a problem, why hasn't it been corrected? and repairs relating to a design flaw should definitely not be the consumers burden.

I quickly avoided hitting the car in front of me and quickly diverted to the shoulder of the highway were i met the jersey wall barrier and produced cosmetic damage to the vehicle. According to a chevrolet dealership i have to replace all of the brake lines because of excessive wear, i purchased the vehicle 5 months ago from a different dealership within the local area. My cost is almost half of what i paid for the vehicle, and that is just for the brake lines, not to include the damage i received to the side of my vehicle. I have been informed from the service advisor that this is not a common maintenance aspect, however it could happen and this leaves any driver the inability to have control of braking power of their vehicle. At this time i have not authorized repairs because of the overwhelming cost to replace the brake lines. They do need to be replaced and i am currently seeking additional cost estimates from other various maintenance facilities to correct this repair.

Steering was pulling to right after tire rotation with gradual progression and after 4 alignments and 3 front tire swaps it still pulls to right not as severely but noticeably different than before rotation.also seems to have more play in the steering with about a 1/4 to 1/2" radius of no tire movement even though i am moving the wheel.dealer kept the vehicle 2 days and said their machine was off but i had the job done the first two times and 1 front tire swap at another place and they also checked to see if the machine was off and it wasn't.any suggestions.if i let go of the steering wheel i will almost immediately divert to the right.what is the standard for a vehicle after it is aligned-how far should you be able to travel in a straight line assuming the road is level?

The 1999 chev. Silverado with rack and pinion has many problems and g-m is tryingto sweep it under the rug.for verification of the problem contact gene scott at hudiburg chevrolet at 817.498.2400 as general motors has bought back 4 of these vehicles from their customers and know that they have the problem.i have problems with mine but they are giving me the run around.

Steering wheel shakes at 64 mph and now since they so called repaired it : it shakes also at 70mph. Chevrolet has not yet been able to repair the problem aftertruck has been in shop 8 times. Now they are avoiding us regarding the problems.

Vehicle lost power steering upon making a left turn. Recall03v527000 was issued on the steering gearbearing, but this vehicle was not included in the recall due tovinand model year.

After sitting over night you take vehicle on highwayit will begin shimming lightly and then build up until the wheel shakes violently.if you try to brake it gets worse.when you pull it off road and start up the shimmy usually goes away.it is lucky we haven't been killed.i have been told by the dealer that other trucks have had the same problem.one driver recorded this on tape.another dealer in the area is also having this problemthe dealer and company cannot find out what is wrong.the last time the dealer had the truck for 2 weeks.they have been playing with it since march.gen motors has been no help.their tac has no answer, yet i am stuck with this problem.what does it take?my wife and i to be killed?she will not drive it .

Rear sliding window frame cracked in three places, leaks water into cab.replaced once under warranty with same plastic frame.one year later two cracks already.$275 after market window has metal frame.called gm will not help with any of the cost.door seals also leak and make noise at highway speeds.

Rear sliding window frame cracked allowing water to enter vehicle and flooding the entire passenger compartment.it has been leaking for some time and is not noticeable until the water starts seeping from under the carpet once the padding is soaked. With the heater on, all of the glass becomes fogged which will impair visibility unless you put the windows down.the padding and carpet has also caused a very bad mildew smell. Dealership refuses to repair and states gm will only cover less than 36,000 mi.its most likely the crack occurred before 36k with so much water under the carpet but now at 57,000 its just noticed. Gm must be aware this is a manufacture defect, but like myself there hoping most consumers with this type of vehicle won't notice the problem until after the 36k mi . *nlm

Hello im reporting a problem i have noticed about rust on the under bodies of the chevy and gmc pick ups. It is a widespread problem and needs to be resolved. There are too many vehicles reporting this problem to make it a coincidence. I myself have this problem where my frame has now cracked for the second time. People are complaining more and more and our safety is at stake. Please whatever can be done to bring gm to recognize this problem can and will save a lot of lives as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars. Thank you

The chrome on the chevrolet badge on thefront grill has started to peel. While washing the truck the chrome, sliver, slice my finger open like a razor blade.

Truck was taken to dealer for regular maintenance, when raised on the hoist the frame started to collapse and brake. Service people pointed out the problem and told me and to consider getting a new truck and advised i probably should not drive this one anywhere as it could brake apart. They stated they haven't seen this in a truck maintained as this one has been. In looking on-line i now see this is a very common problem in 1999 to 2002 silverado's, with 100's of complaints. Gm won't talk about it and states any recall has to come from your agency. This is serious, not sure if any injuries are attributed to this (yet) but there surely will be. I can't believe this is not be looked at with the number of on-line complaints and reports.

While on my way home from work my 1999 silverado s abs brakes went off and would not stop. Hit my house. Called gm said they never herd of their trucks doing this. Well did some reseach and found their was a problem with corrosion on the abs sensor which would set off the abs 4 no reason. It was scary and is a huge gm problem.. Found my truck was fixed at one point but it still happend again.. It is fixed again. But i know it will happen some time in the near future.. Which is scary to think i could have ran into a school bus or kid and killed them. Gm did fix my truck. And pay 4 the house to be repaird.. I dont want to sue or be compensated any further!!!!!i just want them to have to fix these trucks or pull them off the road!! i did not know at the time of incodent that you guys exhisted.. So this is why i am reporting now.. And if somthing happens latter i have prooff that i complained. I am a pa state inspection mechanic. And will give my liscense number if asked to.. I see this happen to much! and if i can save one life it is worth it to me.. I hope this will be looked at and delt with the way the gm recall is now being held. Just look at all the complaints on this ishue.. Again i dont want money!!! i just want to try to save a life!thanks.

I have a 1999 chevrolet silverado. Mine was not recalled due to tailgate cable failures.my tailgate cables have in fact failed. General motors needs to recall all of these vehicles for cable failure.

Opened tailgate and both support cables snapped, one after the other. Had some one been standing or moving equipment on the tailgate, serious injury may have occurred.because the cable was rubber coated, you were not aware of the problem until failure. The deal indicated that failures of these cables are well known, and 200-2004 trucks were recalled, however 1999 (new body style) with same tailgate arrangement were not recalled. With both cables failing within minutes of each other why did gm not recall like designed components?

Consumer states after installing trailmaster suspension lift kit, the vehicle wanders when hitting bumps, the steering is hard to control, there is excessive tire wear and the steering stabilizers have worn out. An alignment was performed and tires were balance, but problem still exist.manufacturer notified.

I was driving to my home from work when i noticed an excessive knocking sound coming from the front of the truck. I pulled into my driveway looked at the front suspension and around both tires. That's when i saw that the passenger side front upper shock mount had broken free from the frame. The shock was just banging freely against the frame. The truck is 15 years old so i know its not under warranty, but that's just poor construction. The truck has been my daily driver and has never been offroad. Judging from the other complaints regarding the frame cracking and/or breaking that i've read, i'm assuming gm isn't going to do anything about it. It's just sad. Regardless, i think nhtsa should issue a recall because this is a safety concern.the excess bounce can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

My complaint is the new front wheel bearing hubs. These units are used on my 1999 chevy truck. The bearing hub assembly is a prelubed unit. I was on the high-way running at about 70 mph. I started to hear a hi pitch noise from the front end of my truck. I stopped to check this out. I returned home very slow. My investigation turned up,that the wheel bearing was bad. I would like to see g.m. Redesign this unit so that it can be lubed. I also feel that this is a safety issue. There was no warning. I also feel that maybe the type of lube used should also be changed. I have been driving chevy cars or trucks for the pass thirty years. I must stress that the item in question is on the front end, if a person were to lose control ,that person will harm others.

All the information pertaining to replacing the tires was there on the first page. They then tried to tell me that the tire damage was due to normal wear and i had an alignment problem. I told him i want firestone to honor the warranty and replace it on a prorated basis. The manager then told me that he knew nothing about tires because he was not a tire manager. He then told me several other locations where the facilities had tire managers. He then let me drive off with a damaged tire. Not even offering to put on the spare tire. (tiresize: 265/75/16)

I had just entered onto the interstate and had gone about 5 miles when my front right tire blew sending me to the side of the road. I have always rotated these tires every 6000 miles and kept 32-34 pounds of air pressure in them. When the tire blew the whole tread from around the tire separated leaving only the two sidewalls attached to a severely damaged mag-alloy wheel. I was the only one in the vehicle and suffered no apparent injuries. However it is a little unerving to have this happen at 65 miles per hour. I went to the firestone dealer and was told that this paticular tire was under no recall and there are no complaints. I am sure i will have no luck getting reimbursed for the tire/tires and rim but feel it necessary to at least make a complaint regarding this tire. Like i said proper maintenance had been performed on these tires and the dealer commented the remaining three looked similar in wear with no abnormalities. All three remaining tires had exactly the same amount of wear. I appreciate the opportunity to report this incident and will appreciate any help i can get.

6 way power seat track has developed approximately 1 inch of free play noticeable when braking or accelerating.when i go to the internet to research the safety problem, i note that others have experienced the same problem.i feel that this should be brought to your attention.

This is a systematic issue related to the keyless entry system.in my opinion, the system implies that it will be possible to unlock the vehicle quickly and from some remote position so that entry can be accomplished immediately upon reaching the vehicle.this is, or could be, an important safety issue relating to the welfare of the person trying to exercise the remote unlocking function.however, the remote transmitters can and, by personal experience do, become unsynchronized with the vehicle locks.on the date in question, both my transmitter and the transmitter carried by my wife failed to unlock the truck.it was necessary to use the key to manually unlock the vehicle.while there was no danger at that time, it caused my wife great concern that she could be "caught" in a situation where there actually was danger.such a "panic" situation would, at best, be excerbated by an unsynchronized remote transmitter; and, at worst, could contribute to a situation resulting in her bodily harm.the owner's manual for the silverado explains that the remotes will occasionally need to be resynchronized and gives the procedure to be used.unfortunately, the manual is usually located in the locked vehicle and not available for reference during a time of need.in addition, it takes a few seconds to recognize that the remote did not work, so it gets tried several times before resorting the manual key-entry.in a panic situation, time is at a premium.while none of the foregoing relates to an unsafe vehicle operating condition, in my opinion it could definitely be associated with the wefare of a driver trying to quickly enter the vehicle.in that sense, it becomes a vehicle safety issue.
