Upon leaving parking spot. The ABS light on the dash came on and the ABS unit started to run as if stopping on a slippery surface. Stopping and shutting off the truck did not stop the ABS unit and it continued to run. The only way I could get it to stop was by pulling the 60 amp fuse under the hood.
In my research of 1999 Chevrolet, Silverado, all owners I have contacted have had this component fail. Chevrolet has chosen to replace this device at their cost all of them. Some of these vehicles were under warranty, some were not. Mine was not replaced due to the mileage on the vehicle. The ABS is a safety device and there is obviously a problem since everyone I know - this is greater than 10 owners - have had this device fail. I think this is a safety issue with the 1999 Chevrolet's Silverado and should be addressed.
The ABS system on this vehicle needs to be recalled due to the large amount O F failures occuring on low mileage as well as the outragious amount to repair.

Consumer states when the vehicle is in 4-wheel drive, and he accelerates quickly, and then lets up on the brakes, the ABS goes into effect without consumer touching the brake pedal, this only happens when there is snow/ice on the roads, consumer has no control of the braking, consumer contacted the manufacturer and was informed that they were aware of the problem and had no plans of correcting it.
The anti-lock brake pump, a major componet, of the ABS system, continues to run constantly. This causes a drain on the battery. The pump must be disconnected to prevent battery drain. Disconnecting disables the anit-lock system. At only 22,000 miles this is obscene! dealer refuses to pay for repair.
