While driving the ABS light illuminated on the dash until the vehicle was shut off..

1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pick up truck.

- Fitchburg, MA, USA

Had prior issues regarding braking; now the ABS light came/stays on and was advised by the GM service manager that I am stuck with the $995 bill if I choose to have it repaired/replaced, otherwise I would have to live with it since "it is not a safety issue." It seems that I am not the only one.

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.

- Salinas, CA, USA

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.

- Randolph, NY, USA

The ABS motor on my 1999 Silverado ext. Cab 2- wheel drive 5.3L motor would not shut off. I had to pull the fuse to get it to stop and not run down the battery. I took it to the dealer and they said it would cost $975 to replace the module. The truck has 52,000 miles on it. I looked on the internet and this is a common problem. GM should repair this for free.

The anti-lock brake system failed.

- Oswego, NY, USA

On 03/29/03 the ABS system failed on my 1999 Silverado truck. After turning off the ignition I could still hear the ABS motor continuing to run. I had to pull the 60 amp fuse to keep from running the battery down. I looked at this site and notice several other 1999 Silverado owners with the same problem. The prospect of shelling out $1000 to fix a vehicle with less than 50,000 miles will definitely make me reconsider my loyalty to GM products.

- Buffalo Grove, IL, USA

I just bought this vehicle, and a week later the anti-lock relay switch stuck in the on position. Running the battery down, and disabling the anti-lock brake system. Now I have to pay $700 for this little part or I have no active working brakes. Dealers will not fix this because it's not part of the drive train.........help!

When the anti lock brakes have been applied, the brakes will lock up and the vehicle will have heavy vibration. Thus causing the vehicle to have extended stopping distance. The dealer had been notified. Ph the vehicle would not stop on heavy slick surfaces and would slide out of control. Scc
