NHTSA Complaint #10127567 — 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO

MY FATHER FATHER-IN-LAW IS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND WAS DOING SOME WORK ON MY 1999 SILVERADO AND NOTICED THAT THE ABS MOTOR WAS CONTINUALLY RUNNING. TO STOP THIS HE HAD TO PULL THE FUSE. I RECENTLY DROVE MY TRUCK FROM MINNESOTA TO CALIFORNIA AND ON NUMBEROUS OCASSIONS I HAD TROUBLE STOPPING. I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK STILL WAS SLOW TO REACT. MOST OF THE TIME THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME, BUT THERE WERE A COUPLE TIMES WHEN I ALMOST REAR ENDED SOMEONE. I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I LIVE IN OVERSEAS. THE TRUCK IS LEFT IN MINNESOTA AND I DRIVE IT WHENEVER I AM HOME FOR VACATION. ONCE I MOVE HOME NEXT YEAR I WILL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IF CHEVY HASN'T SENT OUT A RECALL. HOW MANY STORIES LIKE THIS DOES IT TAKE FOR CHEVROLET TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED ABOUT AN ABS MOTOR THAT WON'T STOP RUNNING UNLESS THE FUSE IS PULLED? I SURE HOPE CHEVY DOES SOMETHING SOON.
