This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
ABS computer malfunctioned causing loss of anti lock braking feature. ABS motor continues to operate after vehicle is shut down. Dealer disconnected fuse to deactivate the motor.
Vehicle could be turned off and ABS motor would remain on. Repair shop notified, and informed consumer that ABS pump and module needed to be replaced. Dealer notifed. Feel free to provide any further information.
The ABS light came on and the ABS pump runs continuously even after the ignition is turned off. The only way to shut off the pump is to disconnect the battery or the pumps power supply. Chevy says so far that they are unaware of the problem, but they are looking into it.
Transmission causing vehicle to stall. The first shift solenoid broke and the sencond one cracked, the ABS module failed at 73554 miles causing the ABS pump to remain on, consumer had ABS pump disconnected.
ABS brakes operate poorly making it difficult to stop the vehicle. ABS module failed causing the ABS pump continuously operate, component was disconnected causing the ABS to be inoperative.
ABS and brake lights came on while driving 20-30 mph. ABS motor remained running after vehicle was turned off. Vehicle at the dealer. Consumer states ABS makes noise.
Gas pedal sticks every time you start the truck, which makes you lunge forward or backwards every time you drive. I have read numerous complaints on this situation & I think it should be recalled. The ABS system went out and when I took it to the shop they said it was very common for the Chevrolet, Silverado to do that, I think it should be checked on too.
ABS brake boxes failing. Causes box to run with the ignition switch turned off. Fuse must be removed to cut power to box. When power is cut ABS system no longer is in service. Boxes are not replaced at manufactures expense if vehicle is out of warranty. Cost is extremely high for consumer, $1000 to $1400. This problem is occurring with Chevrolet and GMC trucks equipped with ABS brakes. This situation creates a fire hazard, a braking hazard and economic hardship on the consumer.
Electronic braking control module, which is part of the ABS brake system, malfunctioned, resulting in lack of ABS brakes. Also caused battery to drain within 12 hours with vehicle turned off. Consumer disconnected fuse for ABS brakes to prevent battery drain, the motor continues to run after the vehicle is turned off.
ABS light came on at 40 mph. When shutting off engine ABS pump kept running. Dealer determined ABS pump needed to be replaced. Consumer feels Chevrolet should pay for the service of their failed component. Also the steering clunks when going over bumps.
ABS module has failed I have been told by some techs that work in dealerships that this has occured in other makes and models like mine. They are telling me it will cost me $900 to fix it, meantime I have no ABS brakes.
Upon placing vehicle in park ABS brake system was running after vehicle was turned off. Took vehicle to dealer, and mechanic advised consumer to unplug ABS system or have it replaced.
A recall was issued for this problem on 2000 models, however, my truck is a 1999. I doubt this was a coincidence since I had the exact same failure. This part is virtually impossible to abuse under any driving condition. I feel this part is inherently defective and GM should shoulder the $1,000 repair bill.
