ABS system went out at 42000 miles. Realized this when I took the truck to the dealer to ask about the buzzing sound the truck was making after I shut the engine down. Was informed that it was the braking module, and parts and labor would be $1200. Was notified this is only covered under 36K warranty. Read the manual and figured out which fuse to pull to disable the module. ABS light remains on as well as the parking brake light.

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?

When braking at a low speed ABS system suddenly engaged causing the brake pedal to go almost to the floor and drastically increasing the stopping distance, almost causing an accident. This occurred on dry pavement with no skid imminent. A mechanic informed me that it was caused by minute particles from the wheel bearings affecting the magnetic detector for the ABS system causing it to activate suddenly and without warning. This occurred frequently until I had to replace both front wheel bearings.

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.

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 consumer stopped 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 that it was a mechanical design flaw common with these vehicles.

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.
