| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I woke up to a dead battery yesterday on my 1999 z71 silverado. i jumped the vehicle and drove to the local auto parts store to replace the battery since it was the original and i did not want to get stranded in 0 degree weather. in route, my abs light came on and a loud motor sound came from under the vehicle. this noise did not cease once i turned the vehicle off. i replaced the battery & drove to my dealer. he opened the hood and pulled the abs fuse and said "you can fix it this way or the expensive way for $1500." i plan on keeping the vehicle for a couple more years and drive three small children in this vehicle so safety is of my utmost concern. the dealer replaced the ecbm for over $1100. there are many complaints on this site as well as numerous other forums. this is not an isolated problem. gm needs to do the right thing and issue at least a recall to inspect these units as they are in an area on the vehicle that is subject to road debris & corrosion. and ultimately reimburse any silverado owners for expenses incurred to replace this unit. how many complaints does it take to get an action out of chevrolet? hopefully they respond before someone gets hurt. *jb |
