Abs control module failure-2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- I have been the sole owner of above vehicle and throughout the course of owning it, the abs light would intermittently activate. At times during slow speed stops, the abs pump would activate on its own. When I inquired about this at a local service station, I was told my wheel sensor was probably dirty. After cleaning, the light would go out and then come back on. Now with less than 65,000 miles on the vehicle, the abs light is constantly on, I checked with the dealership and I'm told the abs control module is dead. . . $1300 estimate for repairs. .

My truck experiences abs activation at low speed as described in news releases about the government investigation. I have not had it repaired, but do still drive it daily and this brake activation happens everytime I drive it. It is a 2000 cheverolet Silverado. Also, the tailgate does not latch properly. Please advise me as to what action I should take and is the vehicle safe to drive.
Antilock brakes "locked out" at 5 mph, truck rolled into a barrier dealer replaced hub sensor (twice) at no charge.
The abs brakes came on when they were not suppose to while driving less than 5 mph and hit another car pulling into the driveway. Took vehicle to the brake shop for brake inspection, and mechanic determined it was due to rust behind the brake sensor. The dealer called the problem environmental and offered to pay 50% of the cost. The rust was located in an area that was suppose to be sealed.
The abs control module failed while driving at 50 mph. Vehicle could be driven, but there were no anti lock brakes. Abs light sensor stayed on until consumer tapped on control board box.
Abs electronic module failed at 44,000 miles. Replacement part cost $800. 00 plus. The local garage that replaced this for me told me this was the 4th or 5th one he has done. I feel that this part failing for all the more miles that are on this vehicle (with the majority of them being highway miles)constitutes some type of problem.
2000 Chevrolet Silverado abs brakes. On December 22, I noticed that my antilock brakes would activate at low speeds. At first I thought it was normal because the road might of had some ice. On December 26, 2003, I was in the mall parking lot traveling 3 to 5 miles per hour when I applied the brakes and the pedal went hard. I had to apply both feet to keep from hitting a person in the crosswalk. The problem is that sometime the brakes work fine giving a false sense of security. The dealer betley Chevrolet said that both abs front speed sensors are bad and need to be replaced. The repair cost is over $700. I question that both sensors could go at the same time without it being a safety defect. This truck is 2 wheel drive and has never been off road. Chevrolet has a bulletin for the repair. I question how many people could get injured before Chevrolet fixes the problem.
2000 Silverado pickup. Brakes will not stop vehicle- slow it down and it rolls to a stop. Low speeds. Happens intermittently- especially during rain or muddy road conditions. Strongly believed to be improper sensing or adjustment by abs system. Do not understand why hawaii not part of recall. Is this a matter of what states sends in the most votes or a matter of safety? gm has a faulty product- I and my family are endangered and I want it fixed- as do others here in hawaii.
