On the approx. Date listed i had a problem with my abs. System running non stop. When i approached a local dealer about this issue, i was told it would be a few thousand dollars to fix or i could just pull the fuse and ignore the lights that would be on so this is what i did. I was recently notified that this problem could now be fixed for much less ($1500). *nm

My 1999 chevrolet 1500 z71 has had numerous abs failures. A few very close calls. The dealer or mechanic haven't heard of a recall. I understand that the abs module is telling the system that one wheel is slowing down as if a skid erroneously which activates the abs taking the driver out of the equation. Sombodys going to die. Please forward any info to the e-mail address i listed . Thank you. *ak
