| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have owned a 2000 chevy silverado ext. cab 4wd since december of 2001. today i was driving to work, and it was wet out. i was traveling at 25 mph and as i was slowing to a light i completely stopped the truck. there was another car 10 feet in front of me. as i started to pull away at around 4 to 5 mph the car in front of me started to slow because of traffic. when i hit the brake the abs motor started to pulsate so fast the truck wouldn't stop and i never took my foot off the brake pedal. i then moved the shift lever to park and it still wouldn't stop. i then hit the car in front of me and then i finally stopped. the driver in front of me luckily had no damage to his car since i was only driving a few mph. i continued to work. the abs light never came on. as i left work to go to lunch,same day, i was pulling up to a light at a very busy intersection . i slowed way ahead of time and crawled to the light and just as i hit the brake to stop the same thing happened where the abs motor ran continuously and i couldn't stop the vehicle . i threw the truck in park and it still wouldn't stop and was starting to enter the intersection on a red light. i then stepped on the parking brake and it finally stopped. i was almost killed because a semi just started to pass me and he was traveling at about 50 mph. i then turned the truck around and went down the road to my work. as i was parking the truck at my work it happened again,3rd time. the truck is now out of the extended warranty and i can't see paying 1,500 to 2,000 dollars to fix this when it is a manufacturer defect. this particular problem should never happen. there should be a recall for this problem or someone is going to be killed, if that hasn't already happened. i will never feel safe driving a chevy/gm vehicle again and will tell everyone i know about this problem. just so it's understood i'm a very safe driver and have an excellent driving record. *nm |
