1 Brake Abs Warning Light problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2004

Parked my 1999 Chevrolet k pickup at a store and just before I turned the engine off, the abs light came on. When the ignition was off, there was a grinding noise from under the vehicle. Apparently the abs module was still running. I crawled under the vehicle and unplugged it. When I took it to my gm mechanic, he told me that the ebcm shorted out and apparently happens frequently to this model. It cost me $781 for the part plus labor of $202. 50. I was unimpressed, especially to find out that there has been so much problem with this and that there is no recall for it. Can you help? isn't this a safety issue? my vehicle only has 50496 miles on it.
