SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT
I HAVE A 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AND MY ABS LIGHT AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT HAS CAME ON RECENTLY. THE BRAKING ON MY TRUCK IS NOT VERY GOOD IN WET CONDITIONS. I FOUND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON CHEVY TRUCKS, AND I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD JUST REMOVE THE FUSE. I WAS TOLD IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY, AND IT IS A COSTLY FIX. I THINK FOR ONCE CHEVROLET SHOULD STEP UP AND PUT OUT A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER COMMON COMPLAINT ABOUT MY DASH CLUSTER, WHICH I HAD ALSO FOUND IS A COMMON PROBLEM, THE ODOMETER WILL GO OFF AND ON WHEN IT FEELS LIKE, AND THE GAS GAUGE FREQUENTLY GOES UP AND DOWN, AND THE FUEL LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK). SEVERAL YEARS LATER, THE CONTACT WOULD CONSISTENTLY EXPERIENCE UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION. THE FAILURE CAUSED INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING LOW SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. THE DEALER STATED THAT BECAUSE THEY THOROUGHLY CLEANED THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR MOUNTING SURFACE ON THE BEARING, THEY WOULD NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. AS OF MARCH 12, 2009, THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 109,000.
