Brake Abs Warning Light problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

From stopped position I pulled vehicle forward aprox. 50 ft and tried to stop. I heard abs pump come on and brake pedal was hard as a rock with no pulsation. I then hit a tree causing damaged to the bumper, headlight and hood. My speed was approx 4 mph. There was no indicator light on before, during or after the accident. I had to remove main abs fuse to make vehicle safe to drive. Then I had the brake and abs indicator lights on. I contacted gm. They did an inspection. During the inspection the inspector broke my parking brake. They would not tell me the results, only that they could not verify that the abs caused the accident because I had removed the fuse. But did tell me that after the fuse was reinstalled that the abs did come on at slow speed stops and all indicators lights were off. I was denied any offer to repair the vehicle. I also do not know if my vehicle had the 2005 recall done to it.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the anti-lock braking system (abs) would independently engage. The brake and abs warning lights would also illuminate during the failure. The contact removed the abs fuse in order to prevent it from engaging. He also located a recall for the failure (NHTSA campaign id number: 05v379000: brakes hydraulic anti lock) but the manufacturer advised his VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer did not provide any further assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileages were approximately 60,000.

Nhtsa recall campaign number: 05086 was done on my 2001 chevy. Silverado on 11 oct. 05 at 59,952 miles. No parts were changed out. Just cleaned the abs sensors. All has worked good until August 2008. I have at least 4 occurrences a week at speeds of 1 to 6 mph. This happens each time I drive the truck since 8-01-08 to today. I've been told my chevy. Dealer that this is a one time clean/fix and cannot be done again. That I could disable it and the abs light would remain on and the abs would not activate. To have them clean or repair would be at my expense because I no longer have a warranty on my truck. I have a 2001 chevy. Impala that has had the same problem with the abs and had to have both front hubs replaced at my expense. I keep my receipts in hopes that if there is a recall I can be reimbursed. I hope that with all the other complaints that you will consider another recall so this problem can be resolved. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving 55 mph, the abs light illuminated and the contact smelled something burning. He then noticed smoke and flames billowing from under the frame of the driver's seat. The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer or a mechanic. The current and failure mileages were 60,000. Updated 05/08/08. The anit-lock brake motor and wires from the motor caught on fire, but never blew a fuse. Updated 05/09/08.
