2000 chevy Silverado, anti-lock brakes (abs) computer malfuntion. Abs comes on during normal driving and braking! had to pull fuse to keep abs from malfuntioning. Unable to stop at sotp signs at all with abs connected.
The brakes are weak & when going downhill on a bumpy surface,they go to the floor& you don't know if it's going to stop.
The electronic brake control module is failing on my 2000 Chevrolet Silverado which causes a failure in the abs. I contacted Chevrolet and only offered 20% cost assistance even tough this appears to be a very common defect in gm vehicles.
Abs control module failed, price to replace over $800. 00 and parts only available from dealer. Numerous posts in internet message boards about same defective parts. Have contacted gm at least twice by email. Abs has been inoperative for at least 6 months.
