Brake Abs Warning Light Problems of Chevrolet Silverado - part 2

In my 2000 chevy Silverado 4x4 truck, without warning the brake pedal went to the floor as I was pulling into my garage and the vehicle did not stop causing minor damage to garage contents (shelves, stored garden equipment; no damage to truck). My mechanic could find no problem after inspection. Brake failure occured twice more and then I went to the dealer mechanic. The abs error light never came on. I paid approximately $500 to replace driver side front abs sensor. This was in oct 2004 so the old part is not available.

Consumer stated that while driving and applying the brakes, he heard a humming noise. It sounded as if the abs was kicking in. This should not happen because there was no bad weather. The consumer stopped and turned the vehicle off and the noise was still there. After getting off work the noise was still there, but the vehicle would not start. Consumer got a CO-worker to jump start the vehicle. When raising the hood, the found the fuse for the abs and removed it. The noise then stopped. But when the consumer put the fuse back the noise started again and the abs illuminated light. The mechanic told the consumer that it was a mechanical design flaw common with these vehicles.

In the last month I've had my abs brakes on my 1999 Silverado engage at between 10 and 5 mph every time I stop. . On three different occasionsif there hadn't been a curb in front of me io would have been crosswise on a heavy traffic street twice and once I'd have gone into a business front. . . No abs light has been on in the vehicle. . I brought this up to the dealership and all they told me was that there was a service bulletin on this and no recall. . In my opinion this is a very serious problem on a nearly 30,000 dollar vehicle and also an 850 dollar option. . The parts alone are over 400 to 700 dollars. . . I checked several forums on the internet and this is a highly reported problem. . . My vehicles are kept in showroom condition and serviced well.

While driving at low speeds consumer heard a popping noise. Then, the abs light came on, and the brake pedal went to the floor.

Consumer's vehicle collided with the other vehicle, but no damage was sustained due to the low speed driving at time of impact. There was brake valve recall 04v045000, but this vehicle was not included due to VIN.

With only 52,000 miles on vehicle, the abs warning light comes on and stays on. I have been told by reputable service technician that the abs control module must be replaced at a cost of $690 for materials alone. I have also been advised the abs system is inoperable until this is corrected. I believe this is very premature for this type of problem to occur.

Brakes pulsate when coming to a stop or over rough/bumpy roads. This has been happening since I owned the truck. Dealer informed it was normal.

Brake fluid is fine.

Just after the 36,000 mile warranty was up, the abs light illuminated and the pump motor runs continuously. Had to remove the fuse to stop it. Cost to replace is $900 plus, on a part that should last the life of the truck! friends purchased an identical truck to our, did the same thing at 38,000 miles.

The abs light illuminated, which caused loss of braking ability.

My abs light came on when I started my car and I heard a winding out noise coming from beneath the area where the front passenger seat is. I immediatly called my mechanic and I brought my truck in to him. I have yet to have the problem diaganosed as of yet because of my time schedule. I am concerned because my father-in-laws truck (same make and model) had the same problem, the same week as ours.

The abs control valve and abs control module shorted out causing the abs warning light to illuminate on the instrument panel while driving. Water had entered both units, the pins of the control unit and sockets of the module unit were covered with rust, shorting the system, in some manner water entered through the control unit and caused the pins and sockets to rust resulting in premature failure.

Abs light on, abs motor keeps running after engine shut off, numerous units already replaced locally.

Abs system is not working properly, and that abs light came on and stayed on and after turning off vehicle. Consumer could still hear the motor of abs running. Contacted dealer.

Turned truck on this morning and abs light would not go off. Shut truck off and the abs "compressor" stays on. Contacted local Chevrolet dealer and they said that is a common problem - no recalls, no resolve except to replace unit for more than $400 + labor. Abs has always reacted unexpectedly on uneven roads(bumps or railroad tracks) and inconsistently on wet surfaces (sometimes grabbing the road, other times free wheeling).

While under warranty I complained to dealer that the anti-lock brakes were to sensitive and would engage while braking on the slightest bump, lenghtening the stopping distance. Of course they never can duplicate the problem. Now with 41000 miles, I start the truck and the abs light comes on. I get home and hear a noise from under the vehicle with the key off. I had to unplug the abs pump to shut it off. I called the dealer and they said this is a common problem and the cost of the unit alone is $780. After researching this I've found the number of this type of failures are astounding!! there is no excuse for this failure, abs has been around for over 15 years now. Gm knows there is a major problem with their abs braking system and should be made to recall & fix this problem before someone is killed!! anyone who has paid for this should be re-inbursed for their expense. This failure seems to happen around the 40,000 mile mark just after the warrany has expired.

While traveling on highway and without prior warning steering will turn to left, and the abs braking light appears on dashboard. Dealership is aware of problem.

When slamming on brakes to avoid an object in road vehicle went to the left into traffic. Consumer feels abs is not working properly because abs light has illuminated. Please provide any further information.

Approximately one week ago I began noticing problems on rough surfaces with my anti-lock brakes. Whenever the brakes were applied on a rough surface the anti-lock brakes actuated but didn't seem to be stopping the car. I attributed the problem to be simply a function of the rough surface combined with the rainy conditions at the time. Yesterday morning when I started my vehicle the abs light came on and I immediately noticed a loud clicking noise which continued even after turning off the ignition. I had to remove the 60 amp fuse for the brake system to stop the pump from actuating. I took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the electronic module which operates the system had shorted out. This same problem has been experienced by 6 other people I work with here at eglin afb.
