Chevrolet Silverado Service Brakes, Hydraulic Antilock Safety Report | June 01, 2004
Reported on June 01, 2004
| MY ABS BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY ON MY 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500. WHEN I TRY TO STOP THE ABS CAUSES THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PUSH BACK AT ME AND DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO FULLY STOP IN A SAFE DISTANCE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND THE ENTIRE WHEEL ASSEMBLE WAS CLEANED TO REMOVE RUST FROM THE HUB. THEY SAY THAT IS CAUSING THE ABS SENSOR TO SEND FALSE READINGS. YET THEY SAY IT IS NOT GOING TO BE A RECALL ISSUE BECAUSE IT ONLY HAS BEEN REPORTED BY A FEW PEOPLE. WELL I AM NOW REPORTING THIS IN HOPES OF A MORE PERMANENT SOLUTION SUCH AS A RECALL. I READ THAT THEY RECALLED THE TRUCKS IN CANADA BUT NOT HERE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME GOING AS SLOW AS 5 MPH AND AS FAST AS 40 MPH. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS REALLY HURT. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN MY TRUCKS ABILITY TO STOP NOW. *JB | |
