| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1999 gmc sierra half-ton pickup truck with only 29k miles. last week, on my way to work early in the morning, my abs pump activated, unable to shut off even with ignition turned off. local garage had to pull power to shut off. subsequent gm inspection resulted in being told the abs control module was corroded and needed to be replaced at a cost of nearly $1000 dollars, much more if the pump was damaged also. i now have only normal, no abs, brakes. and both abs and brake lights are on in dash. this is a known defect and since canada has recalled for this problem the us should too. most of us will drive with only std brakes because we cannot afford to pay out a thousand bucks for fixing something that should never have happened in the 1st place. and this is a safety issue here in snow country. |
