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.
While traveling at 30 mph, ABS light illuminated. Driver parked/turned off ignition, and heard a humming noise under vehicle. Driver had to unplug a wire so battery would not go dead. Driver felt this was unsafe, brakes might not work. Consumer states that the ABS module is under or behind the drivers side tire, everytime it rains, it gets wet and causes it to rust, consumer states that over time this causes the system to short out.
The ABS motor failed and needs to be replaced. The motor itself costs almost $800. More than 90% of my miles are highway miles. At my 40,000 mile brake check, the technician said I was only 30% into my original brake pads. I have heard of numerous failures of this component from other Silverado owners. This is an important safety feature of this truck and it should be recalled and repaired by the manufacturer. My brake warning system is now disabled until this ABS motor is replaced.
ABS light came on while driving also, when engine was shut off fan kept going. Dealer replaced ABS motor. The rear window on passenger side leaks water. Driver side window rattles when closing door. Driver door squeaks when opening and closing. The front seat belt locks up. The front end was leaking due to front differential vent failure. Wiper blades failed. Driver?S seat would not move due to seat adjuster failure. The ABS light came on because the ABS motor was defective. Transmission was leaking. The battery was leaking and was replaced. The coolant light came on due to a leaking water pump.
While coming to a stop from 10mph ABS motor came on and will not shut off even when ignition key is shut off. Removed fuse and now have two warning lights. Contacted dealer and they claimed this was an unheard of failure. After reading other reports on your website for the same problem with this truck I find that hard to believe. With as many failures as you have there should be a recall and repairs done at manufactures expense.
I understand from reading that these ABS modules go out often. Anything relating to the brakes would seem to be a saftey issue. Not to mention that the part itself is over $700 at the dealer which is the only place you can get it. The location seems to be a prime place for water to leak inside the module.
While driving 35 mph and applying the brake the ABS system failed. Brakes locked up, and ABS light came on. Dealer inspected vehicle, and determined ABS system needed to be replaced.
Emergency brake has been adjusted 4-5 times. When applied, brake holds vehicle, but pedal goes to the floor. Also, dealer replaced brake pads. Daytime running bulb blew out after it had just been replaced. Rear window assembly was leaking, power window was slow going up. Transfer case was replaced due to a clunk noise, transaxle shaft replaced due to leaking. Front brake hose experienced an abrasion. Vehicle was leaning, dealer adjusted front torsion bar.
While driving home, the ABS light came on in my dashboard. I pulled over and there was a loud buzzing noise coming from under the truck. This is the ABS pump running continuously. After driving home (1 mile from where the light came on) I turned off my truck. The noise continued to run. I disconnected the battery terminal and the noise stopped. I have contacted GM concerning this and have not received any help thus far. It concerns me that a major component of my brake system would fail at such low mileage. This could have been dangerous had the roads been snow or ice covered. Please help me in this problem. I am not alone in this problem with my truck. There are numerous other owners that have posted their problems on the internet. This needs to be taken care by GM as soon as possible. I am not currently driving my truck until I hear something stating that it is safe to drive with a malfunctioning brake system.
Pump motor relay in ebcm shorted causing pump motor to remain on. Needs ebcm, diagnosed by ginn motor co. On 1-21-02 (no problem with them, fine folks). This is a manufacturer design error. This module should have never been placed in the wheel well area where it isn't protected. There are numerous reports of these failures on various internet sites and this needs to be recalled. Cost to repair this is $951.50, not including the $72 diagnosis I paid. I declined repair and will drive without ABS. Contacted Chevy once today....of many more to follow. Ok, Chevrolet... your turn... are you commited to making the most dependable, longest lasting trucks?
ABS light stays on. Consumer lifted hood and noticed ABS pump is running. Cause unknown. The ABS control module failed due to loose or worn out seal, which the module was mounted. Consumer states that the ABS control module is located under the truck and mounted to the frame, this was subject to water after the seal came loose, causing it to fail.
When starting vehicle, consumer heard a loud noise under the truck, and then turned the vehicle off, but noise continued, conseumr was informed by a mechanic that the ABS system was not functioning correctly.
