Brake Electric Antilock problems of the 1999 Chevrolet Silverado - part 1

Pulling into a gas station with my son from a road with a 45 mph speed limit. Slowed down to attempt to park on side of building and about the last 50-75 feet the abs brake system pulsates and brake pedal is slammed down as hard as could and there is absolutely no brakes. Truck hits corner of gate damaging bumper,grille,hood and small dent in door from gate. Taken to dealership to have recall campaign 05068 looked at and damage accessed. Dealership says damage not due to recall campaign. They also state that there are other components that caused crash and I am charged $220. 00 to fix these. Called Chevrolet hot line and of course they do nothing but deny responsibility for products they have problems with. They insult my good faith in them by asking me how tall I am (they probably think that I am a short person and inadvertantly stepped on gas pedal instead of brake).

1999 Chevrolet Silverado half ton pick up truck. The consumer complained about the anti lock brake system. Spoken to the manufacturer on September 28, 2005, and they said it was not under any recall due to the VIN. Recall 05v379000 was issued on the year, make and model of my truck on August, 29, 2005. When approaching a stop it took a longer time to stop the vehicle. In inclement weather vehicle did not grip the road. It would hydroplane more often. This started in November 2003, pulled the fuse on the abs pump because it shorted out and would drain the battery. It will cost $1,200 - $1,300 to repair the pump. When this first started to happen the consumer lived in north carolina, and it was during a snow storm. Too many failures to count. The consumer's vehicle was not included in the recall because it was not registered in a snow belt state.

In reference to gm recall no. 05068 involving several gm model trucks and SUV's antilock brake issues at low speeds. I own a 1999 Silverado and have this problem. It is extremely dangerous! gm should be taking immediate action, not two months from now! I have had too many very close calls and my wife refuses to drive the truck. A second independent investigation may be warranted to determine why vehicles do not stop when "antilock braking systems" are engaged! I have had close calls with my gm truck and gm lumina car with antilock braking system not providing braking when needed. One such occurrence on winter roads in my gm lumina nearly killed my entire family of five! the failure is the gm antilock braking systems can reduce or eliminate the ability to stop or slow down to safely control the vehicle and prevent an accident. I don't know what I can do about it except remove the antilock braking system fuse.

The anti lock brakes locked up while moving at a very slow speed 3- 10 mph as note in gm's recall # 05v379000. This recall only recognized the rust belt states. My truck on several occasions as I was coming to a stop light the anti- lock brakes would activate and have come close several times with swerving off the road to avoid having a collision with another vehicle. This caused one time to run up on the curb and almost hit a light post. My truck was brought to les schuab tire center and they could not find anything wrong with the abs system because no codes flashed. Problem is still not fixed.

When applying the brake at speeds under 10 mph I will hear the anti lock brakes turn on and then the brake pedal cannot be depressed and the vehicle will roll another 5-10 feet further then intended.

Abs motor runs continuously after turning off. Happened on 5/1/05. Has continued since first occurrence.

The motor continued to run after the vehicle was shut off. The dealer did not cooperate until a recall was placed on the vehicle. The vehicle was equipped to start itself but if the vehicle begun to move, the only way to stop it was to pull the electrical impulse or pull one of the two fuses that went with the abs system, and would make the vehicle stop. The other fuse indicated whether or not the vehicle was running on the dashboard. The consumer has had other recall work done to the vehicle in reference to the transmission in which they replaced the driveshaft.

Anti lock brakes come on at 5 mph or less and the car will not stop.

The vehicle is a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado. Every time the consumer comes to a slow stop the abs brakes come on when they are not suppose to. Do so. Consumer states abs will come on when driving 5 mph. Consumer feels abs brakes should not be coming on in these conditions, like when the roads are dry. The consumer is almost unable to get the vehicle to stop quickly enough to keep from hitting anything else. Consumer has disabled the abs by pulling the fuse. He states that it has not missed with any other part of the vehicle. The brakes work fine now, and the other components with it. In 2002, the abs part had been replaced. He believes it was because of the control unit. The problem at that time was that the abs would not turn off. This is the only problem with the vehicle. He has not taken it to the dealer or the manufacturer. Consume r states there has been a recall in canada concerning this problem. The dealership he purchased it from is out of business.

1. I began to notice that as I applied my brakes to come to stops at stop signs or destination arrivals that the anti-lock brakes would deploy. 2. The anti-lock brakes would activate when coming to a stop when they should not have (the wheels were not slipping). Although I never actually hit anything, I did come close several times. 3. I took the truck to my local chevy dealer and they fixed the problem. The charge was $90. 93 for labor. I still have the receipt.
