ABS light came on at 61k miles
Noise from under the truck continues after shutting engine off
Removed ABS fuse (under the hood) to get the noise to stop.
Anyone else have this problem?
Seems to be a 'flaw' in the product that GM/Chevy does not want to own up to (?)
Had the same problem with my 99' silverado z71. ABS went out after only 35,000 miles. my warranty was gone and it cost me $1000.00 to have it repaired. I was not impressed!
We had the same problem with our '99 Silverado. Backing out of the driveway the light suddenly came on along with the buzzing noise. That was at about 57,000 miles. Maybe if enough people complain GMC might have a recall.
ABS just went out in my '99 Silverado this weekend (03-08-03). Pulled the fuse out to stop the motor from running. 83,000 miles on the truck.
I had the same problem with my 1999 Chevy Silverado. the ABS light came on at about 55k miles. the buzzing noise also came from under the truck. The only way to get it to stop was take the fuse out.
I have the same problem with my 99' Silverado with only 36000 miles. Apparently, this is a problem at GM. I found several other places on the web where this problem has been reported. GM should own up to the problem. No-one should have to pay what is mentioned in the other article.
Same problem here,1999 silverado,76000 miles, I also know someone else that had the same problem. I'm really disappointed with General Motors for not owning up with the problem.When I spoke with the dealer he said they had already changed about a dozen not to mention all the people like me that just removed the fuse!
I was the proud owner of a 1999 Chevy Z71 until the ABS went out at 31K miles. In checking the INTERNET I see that this is a BIG problem with this year truck. Chevy should take care of this and recall all 1999 Z71 trucks.
I have a 99 with the same problem. I had to replace the same thing. Now the ABS light is on again, and they are telling me that I may have to replace the entire hub assembly. This is ridiculous!! gail.plush@verizon.net.
I too, have experienced this problem. I have a 1999 Silverado 2500. ABS light came on at about 59,000 (miles.). ABS motor was making a noise. I had to pull fuse. $1000.00 repair estimate. Still the best truck I have owned. ROUSE6@peoplepc.com.
I also Had the same problem at 85000 0n my 99 silverado ABS light came on motor kept running with the key off. had to pull the fuse to stop the motor from running ran diagnostics test. motor pump circuit open\shorted was the cause. $1000.00 repair cost was estimated Last chevy I will buy if GM doesn't fix it. castorman@vnet.net.
I bought a 1999 C1500 and the week that I was making my first payment, the ABS module went out. I was out of town and my wife started to put the truck in the garage then it had a loud humming noise under the drivers door. We had to pull the fuse to get it to stop. Estimate is $866.00 to fix it. $775 just for the part. The truck has only 35,000 miles, but is 4 years old! No Warranty!!
The same thing happened to my 1999 Silverado with 54000 miles. I disconnected the battery then the EBCM. I didn't think of the fuse. I found a GM replacement part for about $600. How much trouble is it to replace? I haven't talked to the dealer yet, but it looks like their not going to make it right.
This sounds like a BIG problem. My 1st and last Chevy truck. Just had transmission repaired ($1900.00) and now I also get the same humming noise from the ABS. Estimated cost $1000.00. This is NOT fun! Should have bought a Toyota!
I too own a 1999 Chevy Silverado Z-71. My ABS went out at 40k, one month after purchasing the truck. Unfortunately, I bought it used with no warranty. I disconnected the ABS and have driven it since October 2001 like this. No problems, except that I have no ABS, lol. I plan on replacing the system soon since they have brought the price down to $650 in our area due to the high demand. Maybe this means that they are starting to see a trend now?
I too have a 99 Silverado. Same problem as everyone else (humming, ABS, need to disconnect ABS via pulling fuse). This is at 45000 miles. I called GM last night and they said that there is no recall on this and they have no other complaints on this (per the customer service rep.). GM did say that if a GM dealer does a diagnostic, I will have to pay for that and GM can elect to pay for a percentage of my repair costs, but may not. It looks like this is a very expensive job. Also, my 99 eats brakes. At 39000 I needed new brakes and they are very expensive for this model. I'm going to look at other brand trucks. Advise: Pull the fuse and drive without the ABS. Call GM and complain so we can get a recall going. Thanks for this website.
