Nine problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet K1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 1999 chevy c/k pickup fails to stop quickly when traveling at low speeds. The abs turns on preventing the vehicle from stopping as you apply extreme pressure to the brake pedal. I am told by two separate mechanics that this is a common problem on similar models which have been recalled (NHTSA campaign # 05v379000) when contacting Chevrolet they say their is nothing they can do as the recall does not include my vehicle by VIN number even if it is the same part with the problem.
There is a recall on the anti lock brakes . The contact's vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN. The brakes grab only at low speeds. The contact is experiencing the same symptoms as indicated in the recall but the vehicle is not included. The vehicle has not been to a dealer or service repair shop. The contact has called Chevrolet ,who offered no assistance other than filing a complaint. No repairs or corrections at this time.
My 1999 silverado pickup truck is having braking trouble where the abs system kicks on during normal dry conditions. It has caused me to have some near misses while trying to stop the vehicle.
Anti lock brake problems; at slower speeds when applying break, brake does not hold.
After turning vehicle off, abs motor continued to run. Contacted dealer who took fuse out. Consumer now does not have abs on vehicle. Consumer feels the part failed too soon. Consumer was informed that the abs motor won't shut off unless the fuse is pulled or the battery runs down. There is a chance of fire and the brakes are inoperable when failure occurs.
Consumer stated that when the computer that controls the abs goes out, the abs pump continues running, to disable it consumer has to either disconnect the pump or the battery, if this is not done consumer stated it may result in a fire.
The abs pump started running when I started the truck the only way to get it to stop is to pull the fuse. The power window on driverside will go down a little then stop, you have to keep pushing on the button to get it all the way down which takes a lot of time, same way when you go to put it back up. The throttle sticks when you go to accelerate, did it a little new now does it a lot. I have contacted gm they said that the truck is to old know for them to do anything about it. I have heard that other owners have had the same problems but theres occured while under warranty.
Whenever I apply the brake and the vehicle happens to drive over any uneven surfaces on the road ( ie, bumps, pot hole, cracks, etc) abs would engage and causes the vehicle to shake violently.
When making a normal stopping procedure and appyling brakes ,they will make a growling noise , brakes will go to the floor and will not stop vehicle. Driver must pump brakes once in order for it to stop ,but brakes will feel spongy. Dealer cannot find cause.
