Nine problems related to air brake wheel speed sensor have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The abs system on my 1999 Silverado activates at low speeds causing eratic braking.
Abs brakes activate in wet weather for the first 5 minutes of driving.
I have a 1999 chevy Silverado that has been experiencing a problem with the abs systems. When you get below 10 miles an hour it starts acting up. . It doesnt want to stop. Sometimes you have to let off and stomp them a couple of times to get them to stop. . You dont know when its going to act up either. It may go a few times without a problem then the next thing you know it starts doing it. I try not to drive it and when I do its close by. I have taken it to a shop and they said it was the abs wheel speed sensor . Then they said that they had seen on the news where there is a concern with this problem. . And told me I should wait abit if I could because they may have a recall and that this could be expensive. .
A recall was issued unwanted low speed activation of the abs. Prior to the recall I had already had the problem fixed and requested reimbursement after the recall was issued. I was advised that my truck was not included in the recall based solely on the fact that it is currently registered in maryland and not registered in the specific states listed. This truck was purchased brand new in PA and was registered in PA, then OH exclusively until Feb. 04 when the truck was registered in maryland as a result of a relocation from ohio. I am simply stunned that gm is excluding me from the recall. This is unacceptable and bottom of the barrel customer service.
While applying the brake pedal at low speeds brakes failed. Vehicle jerked and vibrated uncontrollably. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to dealer for inspection. Mechanic determined that abs wheel sensor needed to be replaced. The consumer owns a 1999 chevy Silverado and a 2001 tahoe with the same problem. The consumer stated that the vehicle moves abour 4 feet farther than intended after brake is applied. No warning lights on dash to let the driver know the brakes are having problems.
Low speed activation of the antilock brakes resulting in unsafe braking conditions. Despite widespread problems with my model and several others, gm was unwilling to assist in a repair exceeding 1,000. 00.
Increased stopping distance when brakes applied under 10 mph and abs fails. . . My vehicle slammed into a cement pole in parking space causing $1600 damage. . . Original dealership refused to accept responsibility as vehicle was in their repair shop the very day before for exact complaint and was not addressed. . . Second dealership immediately knew the problem and corrected the problem by replacing front speed sensors.
I own a 1999 chev. Silverado. About 2 years ago I had problems with the anti-lock brakes failing at low speeds. I had it serviced and it was due to corrosion. The problem is starting to reappear again.
The brakes failed to stop the vehicle. Ph.
