Antilock brakes activate every time I step on the brakes. This resulted in several near misses for collisions.

We purchased our 2003 silverado in sept. 2003 . From November 2003 we have been complaining to the dealer and manufacturer about the brake failures and the abs warning lights coming on . The dealer had the truck in may for almost a month and the truck was returned to us with the brake pedal going to the floor when depressed . The truck currently sits in our garage and we refuse to drive it. The manufacturer says this problem is normal and that the truck is safe.

There was not incident yet, but the front abs cycles when the vehicle is slowing below 5 mph and is sometimes difficult to stop.

Abs brakes on my truck engage at low speeds, making stopping difficult. Gm has issued a recall for this problem for 1999-2002 trucks, but mine is a 1998. I called gm to verify the recall and was told that I did not qualify because my truck was a '98 and not a '99 problem has been happening for several months and almost every time I am at a slow speed. The recall needs to be expanded.

I have a 1999 chevy silverado, walked out started truck and the abs module failed and ran constantly as with thousands of other chevy truck owner have done as well, this is a shame. Gm needs to own up to their mistakes and take care of this problem. This is a very dangerous situation now having abs in a snowbound state, also what if this module failed going down the road in a braking situation when it was needed? this is going to cause a lot of collisions. This is a faulty part put onto he trucks by gm to try and save money, seems funny that the abs modules prior to the 1999 models have no issues with them what so ever. Come on gm step up to your mistakes.

Problems with abs system on 1999 Chevrolet K1500. Before the consumer turned off the engine the abs light illuminated on the dash. When the ignition was off the consumer heard a grinding noise which originated under the vehicle. The consumer crawled under the vehicle and unplugged the abs and the noise stopped. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was determined that the ebcm shorted out. The consumer was told that this is a common problem with this model Chevrolet.

Abs computer failed in my 1999 Chevrolet K1500 silverado pickup. The module makes a continuous noise like a small engine running even with the key removed from the ignition. The only way to stop the noise is to disconnect the battery or remove the abs 60 amp fuse. Dealer informs me the part costs $875. 00 in checking with used parts shops I found this part is in very high demand -- much greater than they can supply. One used parts dealer told me they had 18 requests this year alone. The Chevrolet dealer hesitatingly admitted they replace lots of these. With the fuse removed the vehicle is drivable but without the abs function. The dash board does have indicators constantly lit for brakes and abs.

The abs modual on my 1999 K1500 chevyrolet truck has gone bad. The pump stays on at all times, unless you pull out the fuse for the abs. By disconnecting the fuse, the abs brakes are disabled for the truck. This also leaves the abs light and brake light in the dash on. The replacement for this part is around $1000. This appears to be a fairly common problem on this model truck. My father is haveing the same luck with his 1999 k2500. Note that the dealer recommended fix, short of replacing the unit, is pulling out the fuse.
