Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The ABS brakes were used for the first time this past winter since I have owned the truck. After they came on, the pump never shut off even after I shut the truck off at work. I had to pull the ABS fuse in order for the hydraulic pump to shut down. Two Chevrolet dealers have told me that I need a new computer component (module) and pump that is only sold together. The cost for parts and labor will be over $1,000. As of now, the ABS light and parking brake light are on and I do not have the funds to fix this.”

Has there been a recall , will chevy take care of this problem? Also the pulley or compressor for the heating and air makes a noise when I use the air system in my truck. I own a 1999 chevy Silverado z71, and I feel chevy should help me out and fix these problems. Also the fog lights have never worked on the truck and daniels would not fix them for me.”
