Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: Parked my 1999 chevrolet k pickup at a store and just before i turned the engine off, the abs light came on. when the ignition was off, there was a grinding noise from under the vehicle. apparently the abs module was still running. i crawled under the vehicle and unplugged it. when i took it to my gm mechanic, he told me that the ebcm shorted out and apparently happens frequently to this model. it cost me $781 for the part plus labor of $202.50. i was unimpressed, especially to find out that there has been so much problem with this and that there is no recall for it. can you help? isn't this a safety issue? my vehicle only has 50496 miles on it.*ak
