The Abs module light comes on and the brake warning light after driving normally and occasionally on its own and after a bump in the road. The abs system is unavailable/disabled when the light is on, the abs system has stopped and the light turned on when applying the brakes hard to avoid other vehicles and other actions such as steering away to avoid an accident arenecessary. While doing research on this problem I discovered that many gm/gmc pickup trucks have this problem with abs failure and the only sure repair being to replace the abs/ebcm module, there are codes stored for the abs system showing it has failed and stopped working. This problem is so large that an aftermarket industry has grown to address this issue providing rebuilt modules. I worked for a chevrolet dealership for 19 years and am an ase master technician and tested my own silverado and have had to replace my abs module, at my own cost as nearly all other owners, to ensure that I and my wife will be safe while driving. Please make the manufacturers responsible and liable for repairs/replacement so that the truck owners and others sharing the roads stay safe and alive.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2001","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"SILVERADO 1500","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11613397,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"09/05/2024","dateComplaintFiled":"09/09/2024","vin":"1GCJC39G81F","components":"SERVICE BRAKES","summary":"Front right brake overheated.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2001","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"SILVERADO 3500","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11533991,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/20/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"07/24/2023","vin":"1GCJC39G81F","components":"ENGINE","summary":"While driving engine cuts off intermittently, usually will restart.

On I-75 in FL recently, while coming off the ramp and increasing speed, the steering wheel began to wobble back and forth violently. As the road surface was wet, I lost control briefly. Once home, I began investigating the problem. I went back to Pep Boys and they inspected and said the tire was separated and they would give me a credit, but they've discontinued that model tire and I'd have to buy 2 new tires. I could not afford that. So they placed it on the rear and I left mad. A month later the steering wobble returned. I then went elsewhere to have it investigated and they said two more were separated. It turns out 3 of the 4 tires I bought are separated so much they are unsuitable for use on the front and make noticeable vibration in the rear when placed there. Date codes on all of my tires are within two sets of weeks of each other, 1717 and 2717 and all are from the same factory. I placed the best two of the 4 on the back and have to replace them all now as there's no way to use any on the front as it's dangerous. They've discontinued this line, but it needs a recall. Pep Boys is coping out of their responsibility. It is Pep Boys Futura Scrambler A/P, 265/75R16.

WHILE TRAVELING ON A LEVEL HIGHWAY AT 35 MPH A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME FROM A GAS STATION AND I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD. I FELT A PULSE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR I WENT UP OVER A VERY HIGH CURB, OVER A WALKWAY AND THROUGH A PARKING LOT. I JAMMED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO BRING IT TO A STOP. LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND THE FRAME IS COVERED WITH BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. ANOTHER GUY STOPPED TO SEE IF I WAS O.K.. I HAD HIM PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK. YOU COULD SEE THE FLUID SQUIRTING OUT OF 2 CORRODED, RUPTURED BRAKE LINES. HAD THE TRUCK TOWED. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH METAL CORROSION ON THIS TRUCK SINCE DAY ONE. THE REAR BUMPER HAD EXTENSIVE RUST IN 3 YEARS. WENT TO DEALER, GOT THE RUN AROUND. I REPLACED ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS WITH LESS THAN 35,000 AND THE PADS WERE MAINTAINED DURING THIS TIME. WENT TO DEALER, DEALER SAID THAT WAS NORMAL WEAR FOR A ROTOR. GIVE ME A BRK. IT SOUNDS LIKE BAD METAL WAS USED THROUGHOUT THIS TRUCK. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2001","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"SILVERADO 1500","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":10458330,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/01/2012","dateComplaintFiled":"05/14/2012","vin":"1GNFK16T31J","components":"SERVICE BRAKES","summary":"THE BRAKES WENT OUT - NOT TOTALLY OUT I BUT HAD TO PUSH THE BREAKS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE CAR TO SLOWLY STOP.

THE TRUCK NOW (OCT 2010) HAS 50,300 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AND SERVICED REGULARLY. AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH REAR ROTORS AND BRAKES, THEN AT APPROXIMATELY 36,400 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT ROTORS, BRAKES AND THE ALTERNATOR. AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES THE DRIVERS DOOR POWER WINDOW MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AND ALL THE BRAKE LINES AND SPEED SENSORS ON THE TRUCK HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW WITH 50,300 MILES, THE TRUCK IS SITTING IN MY DRIVE WAY NEEDING ANOTHER ALTERNATOR AND THE REAR BRAKES / ROTORS ARE WORN OUT AGAIN. SINCE I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK I HAVE ALREADY SPENT APPROXIMATELY $2800 ON BRAKES, BRAKE LINES, WHEEL / SPEED SENSORS AND NEW ROTORS AND REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND POWER DOOR MOTOR. THE TRUCK HAS STRANDED ME TWO TIMES WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED AND ONCE WHEN THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT. IT APPEARS THAT THE DEALERSHIPS AND GM KNOW ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS BUT JUST TRY TO GET THEM PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD. WHEN I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS I OFFERED TO HAVE THE METAL / ROTORS ANALYZED TO DETERMINE WHY THEY FAILED BUT GM WASN'T INTERESTED. THEY PAID HALF ON THAT REPAIR AND REQUESTED THAT I LEAVE THE ROTORS WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS LUCKY BOTH TIMES WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED BECAUSE WE WERE GOING SLOW AND ON RURAL ROADS WITH MINIMAL TRAFFIC, THE OTHER TIME THE TRUCK STRANDED US WE CAMPING ON A HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT WHEN WE WERE ABOUT 10 MILES FROM THE CAMP. THESE TRUCKS ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEMS ARE VERY DANGEROUS. I THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A TECHNICAL REVIEW CONDUCTED TO EVALUATE THE MATERIALS USED FOR THE ROTORS AND THE BRAKE LINES. WHEN MY BRAKE LINES WERE REPLACED THEY CRUMBLED LIKE FLAKES OF RUST AND THE ROTORS BOTH FRONT AND BACK WERE DAMAGED FROM WHAT APPEARED TO BE OVERHEATING. THERE WERE SURFACE STRESS FLAWS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROTORS.

I THEN BEGAN TO SEARCH THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE MODE WITH GM TRUCKS THAT HAVE THE 8.1 L ENGINE FROM THIS PERIOD AND THAT A SAFETY RECALL (07V521000) WAS DONE ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE OEM CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE;, AT THIS TIME NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AND THE TRUCK IS NOT BEING USED. I FEEL THAT GM DOES NOT HAVE CONTAINMENT OF THIS FAILURE AND THAT ADDITIONAL VIN NUMBERS INCLUDING MINE NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL. FROM SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER FAILURE OCCURRENCES OUTSIDE THE CONTAINMENT RANGE. THE OLD PART IS AVAILABLE AND GM SHOULD REPLACE THE DEFECT BEFORE AN ACCIDENT DOES OCCUR CAUSING INJURY, DEATH, AND/OR LITIGATION. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2001","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"SILVERADO 2500 HD","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":10285452,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"09/17/2009","dateComplaintFiled":"09/27/2009","vin":"1GCHK29GX1E","components":"ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING","summary":"THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE, THIS FAILURE MODE HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES, TWICE WHILE PULLING A 12,000 LBS.

THE MAIN SAFETY PROBLEM IS THE SOFTWARE BUG THAT DOESN'T RECORD THE BAD CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE FIRST 20 OR SO INCIDENTS WERE ANNOYING. WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED SHUTTING DOWN WHILE GOING DOWN A 10% GRADE ON A TWISTING MOUNTAIN ROAD IT GOT SCARY. LUCKILY I WASN'T PULLING THE 15000 POUND TRAILER THAT I OFTEN PULL. THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS AT ONE PARTICULAR ENGINE TEMPERATURE AND IT DOESN'T SET A DTC. IT TOOK ME THREE MONTHS OF SEARCHING THE WEB TO FIND THE PROBLEM.

ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH CLEAR CONDITIONS, HE WAS TRAVELING TO AN APPLE ORCHARD IN CONNECTICUT. TRAVELING ABOUT 30 M.P.H., HE NOTICED A LARGE VEHICLE BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY. AS A DUMP TRUCK OPERATOR, HE IS WELL AWARE OF THE LIMITED VISIBILITY IN THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND HOW DIFFICULT IT WOULD BE FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP. SO, HE PUSHED THE BRAKES IN HIS VEHICLE AND THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE. REALIZING HIS BRAKES HAD FAILED, HE IMMEDIATELY REALIZED HE NEEDED TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH THE SECOND VEHICLE. HIS QUICK RESPONSE AND EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE WHEEL ALLOWED HIM TO MISS THE SECOND VEHICLE. HE DIDN'T WANT TO HIT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE IMPACTED THE DRIVERS SIDE. INSTEAD, HIS TRUCK BOLTED INTO A STONE WALL, FLIPPED AND ENDED UP IN BETWEEN TWO TREES. HIS AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. HE LANDED IN THE YARD OF SOMEONE'S HOME AND THE HOMEOWNER CALLED THE POLICE. THE POLICE SITED IN HIS POLICE REPORT THAT THE AIR BAG FAILED AND THE BRAKES APPEARED TO FAIL AS WELL. MY FATHER ENDED UP WITH A FEW SCRAPES AND BRUISES AND HE IS JUST GLAD EVERYONE INVOLVED WAS ALRIGHT. CHEVROLET NEVER TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS MATTER.

AFTER THE FIRST SNOW STORM I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHO SIMPLY RECONNECTED EVERYTHING AND COMMENTED: WE HAVE HAD ABOUT 45 SIMILAR CASES JUST THIS MORNING. HE COMMENTED THAT THE WIPERS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED IN SUCH HEAVY SNOW. THE SNOW BUILT UP UNDER THE WIPER ARM, PUTTING STRESS ON THE INTERNAL LINKAGE BELOW THE SHEET METAL, AND CAUSED THE LINKAGE TO POP APART. HE SUGGESTED THAT I NOT DRIVE IN SUCH HEAVY SNOWFALL, OR THAT I KEEP THE LINKAGE CLEAR OF SNOW BUILDUP. I POINTED OUT THE OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR PULLING OVER EVERY TEN MINUTES TO CLEAR AWAY SNOW FROM UNDER THE WIPER AND ALL HE COULD RESPOND TO THAT WAS: \"FORD HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS CHEVROLET ON THESE WIPER LINKAGES COMING APART\". THE SECOND STORM WAS LAST NIGHT. I CAREFULLY REMOVED ALL SNOW FROM THE HOOD, FROM AROUND THE WIPERS, FROM ON TOP OF THE ROOF (SO SNOW COULD NOT SLIDE OFF IT ONTO THE WIPERS) AND AFTER 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE PASSENGER WIPER FAILED WITH A LOUD MECHANICAL NOISE. I STOPPED AND MEASURED THE SNOW THICKNESS ON THE HOOD AT LESS THAN ONE INCH. I HAPPEN TO HAVE A DIGITAL CAMERA WITH ME AND TOOK SEVERAL PICTURES OF THE DEPTH OF THE SNOW IN THE DARK WITH A FLASH ATTACHMENT.
