Read full complaint

I HAVE A 1999 CHEVROLET 1500 SILVERADO PICK-UP. THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYSTEM AT SLOW SPEEDS. (BELOW 20 MPH) THE BRAKING SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY GOES INTO ABS MODE WHEN STOPPING AT A SLOW SPEED AND NO AMOUNT OF PEDAL PRESSURE WILL STOP IT. GM DEALERS ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, BUT WANT TO REPLACE THE SYSTEM AT A HUGE COST TO THE CONSUMER. IT SURE SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW TO ME, AS WELL AS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS P/U HAS 74,000 MILES ON IT, AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT'S BRAKES. THANKS. *AK

ABS LIGHT CAME ON. STOPPED TRUCK AND HEARD LOUD "CLICKING" NOISE. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER (CORONA CHEVROLET). DEALER SAID "IT'S YOUR ABS PUMP. IT WILL COST $1000 DOLLERS TO FIX. COULD CAUSE A FIRE. DO YOU WANT US TO FIX IT?" WHAT ELSE COULD I SAY? THE DEALER DID THROW IN A "FREE" OIL CHANGE ($19.95 VALUE).
