| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1999 chevy silverado. last week i went to the chevy dealership and had them fix the wheel speed sensor under the recall for the abs activation. i told them that i pulled the fuse for the abs motor a while back and i didn't have a replacement. to my surprise, he said that fixing the wheel speed sensor would not fix the abs problem i was having. he said this without any details as to why i pulled the fuse. he said that the problem was the abs motor. he said that the circuit packs within the motor are shorted and the motor would have to be replaced. it seemed like he has seen this problem many times before. even seemed annoyed when i asked further about it. i got the feeling that he has to answer questions about this all the time. everyone i know with this same vehicle is having the same problem. the mechanic i use to go to told me that he sees this problem all the time on chevy's and gms from around 1999. he owns a 2000 gm sierra and is having the same problem. gm put out a recall for the abs, but are not fixing the problem completely. chevy dealership told me it would cost about $800.00 to replace the motor. i feel like gm took the cheap way out by fixing the wheel speed censor. is everyone else with this problem being fooled thinking that their abs problem is going to be fixed with this recall that is currently out? why is gm concerned about one safety issue (the cheap one) and not another (the expensive one)? *nm |
