2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

On January 11, 2011, ODI opened EA11-001 to investigate allegations of premature brake line corrosion failure in model year (MY) 1999 through 2003 General Motors (GM) full-size pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles sold or registered in the following region of the United States that NHTSA has viewed as salt states for investigations of corrosion related issues:Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and …

In a letter dated april 20, 2005, GM notified NHTSA that it had decided that defects that relate to motor vehicle safety exist in certain model year (my) 1999-2002 c/k 1500 series (pbr parking brake system) and my 2001-2005 c/k 2500 and 3500 series (trw parking brake system) pickups with manual transmissions.according to GM, some of these vehicles may have conditions that cause the friction linings to wear to an extent where the parking brake can become ineffective in immobilizing a parked vehicle.GM's action covers an estimated total of 142,585 vehicles.dealers will install a low-force …

Odi opened pe03-057 to assess parking brake ineffectiveness in the subject vehicles.these vehicles are equipped with four wheel disc brakes that incorporate a single-shoe drum-in-hat parking brake independent of the service brakes.complaint and warranty data indicate that the parking brake linings tend to wear out early in the life of the vehicle (at an average of 24 months in service), reducing the parking brake system's torque below that needed to immobilize the vehicle.GM has attributed this accelerated wear to foreign material intrusion and a failure of the brake shoe to properly …

Vehicle Wide Programming (VWP) is a new process to update software on GM Vehicles. It provides the ability via a single selection within Techline Connect to first identify which modules need updating and then proceed to updating affected modules (with some exceptions). The updating of modules is completed in parallel instead of the technician needing to …

TIRE SIZE 75R16, BRIDGESTONE V-STEEL RB215, IS THE BRANDED AND EXACT TIRE ON THE TRUCK WHEN ON 05/23/2026 DRIVING NORMALLY DOWN A LAS VEGAS RURAL ONE-WAY NEIGHBORHOOD STREET I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ONE-WAY STREET (7200 PIRATES COVE) WHERE THERE ARE PARKED VEHICLES ALONG THE SIDES OF STREET FROM RESIDENTS ETC..... ON BOTH SIDES OF STREET IN VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY. AND AS I WAS PASSING THE SMALL RESIDENTIAL INTERSECTION W/ NO STOP SIGNS IN PLACE, THE TIRE IS EITHER SLIICED BY SHARP OBJECT IIN THE STREET OR JUST BLOWN FROM MANUFACTURER DEFECT, HEAT, OR THE LIKES, ANYWAY IT BLOWS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK DIRECTLY BESIDE A VEHICLE PARKED ALONG THE RIGHT SIDE HEADING EASTBOUND, WHEN IT BLOWS THE VEHICLE DROPS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE LOSES CENTER OF CONTROL AND DESPITE EFFORTS TO AVOID, IT CAUSES MY COLLISION WITH THE PARKED CAR ON THE RIGHT, BECAUSE IT IMMEDIATELY WENT FLAT TO RIM, AND I WAS COLLIDED INTO, THE REAR-END OF A UNOCCUPIED VEHICLE WHICH THEN COLLIDED SLIGHTLY WITH VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT WHICH LIGHTLY REAR-ENDED A THIRD PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF IT ALSO UNOCCUPIED AND PARKED. AND THE AIRBAG THEN DEPLOYED WITHIN THE VEHICLE ON IMPACT. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN WORST OUTCOMES, MY DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURIES, OR SOMEONE ELSES INJURIES. AND THIS HAPPENED WITH NO WARNING PRIOR TIRE ISUES OR PUNCTURES AND VERY LIMITED TREAD USE OR TIRE PROLONGED ROAD EXPOSURES AND OTHER WEAR AND TEAR RELATED ACTIONS/ACTIVITIES. SO IM ISSUING HIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE THAT IS A RATHER SERIOUS DEF

My heater started to shut off then I’d turn it off then turn it back on then it’d come back on again. That went on for a few days. Started my truck in the morning and let it warm up for a few moments when I hear truck is on fire. The fire was in the cab of the truck. It was investigated and they said fire started in the right side of the dash which is where the faulty part is from what I’ve learned about other Chevy trucks same make model and year as my truck

Instrument panel stopped working. Speedometer, fuel gauge and ammeter not working.

The vehicle was being driven in a parking lot, fortunately, when there was a loud snapping noise that resulted in the total loss of steering control. The vehicle was moving at about 5 MPH at time of the incident. 10 minutes prior, it was being driven on the Freeway at 60 to 65 MPH. In the parking lot, at the time of the steering failure, it was put into Park, ignition was turned off and a Tow service was called to tow vehicle home. The next day, I (the owner) inspected the steering system and found the reason it failed. A threaded connection on the "Pitman Arm" had snapped in half, terminating the connection between the steering column and the center link, causing catastrophic failure of steering system. The vehicle was transported to a repair facility where my diagnosis was confirmed. The Pitman Arm was replaced, at a cost of about $600.00 and returned to service. There were no warning signs, that I was aware of, prior to the component failure. In my opening sentence, I use the term "fortunately" , which truly is an understatement . Had the incident occurred 10 minutes earlier while on the freeway or if it hadn't occurred in a parking lot at a relatively low speed, I don't even like to think about the death, injury and damage that would have occurred.

When I try and use my left turn signal the hazard lights turn on!! Read numerous instances of this problem online with no solutions! A gentleman online referred me to turn this in to you(nhtsa.gov). The problem is ongoing!!

The undercarriage or frame of our recent purchase of our 2003 used chevrolet k1500 silverado was discovered recently after purchase to be rusted through and through and chipping off day by day. A private master mechanic has looked the truck over and said that it was not safe to drive. Upon further investigating, the panels that hold up the roof of the truck underneath the interior panels are rusting through and through to the point of breaking. Dealership we bought it from just shrugged their shoulders and said basically oh well, it was sold as is. under the truck on the frame where the wheels are attached, forgive my descriptions but im no mechanic, looks like they can break off at any minute. we have ony about 3/4 of a front and back bumper we later discovered, and the roof of the truck looks as if it had rusted and messed up beause someone before us put plaster to redo the roof of the truck. im scared to put my mother in law in this truck to go anywhere because if it got into a wreck... it would be devestating for everyone. truck has been in a wreck before. pictures and truck is available for inspection upon request,

My truck is a older model Chevrolet Silverado pickup HD the problem is it say engine power reduced. I have had it worked on a few times and keeps reducing if engine power.

UNKNOWN. I went out to the to go somewhere, got in and noticed several big cracks.

I was driving in normal conditions around 45 mph with the air conditioner on high. Smoke starts pouring out from underneath the dash on the passenger side and once I get stopped the blower motor resistor had caught fire. I was able to put the fire out myself no incident report was filed. It caused damage to my dash but I was able to extinguish it rather quickly to avoid further damage. I just bought this pick up for my 17-year-old son and if he had of been driving things could’ve been a lot worse especially if his reaction time is any slower than mine.

My engine has been giving me lean condition codes p0171, p0174 and truck is lacking performance really bad and coolant problems too please message me back

IGNITION WILL NOT INTERMITTENTLY START VEHICLE. DASH LIGHTS COME ON

RUSTED OUT AND LEAKING BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES UNDER THE DRIVERSIDE DOOR WHERE THEY ARE ATTACHED TO THE FRAME.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER- THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS IS THE SPEEDOMETER IF I HIT A BUMP THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING MY TRUCK SOMETIMES DIES ON ME GOING DOWN THE ROADS, I RECENTLY TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND TOLD ME IT'S A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BUT SINCE MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WASNT WORKING COULD NOT NARROW IT DOWN.. WINDSHIELD- FRONT MAKES A WHISTLE SOUND WHEN YOUR GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT.. BATTERY- BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO AND SOMETHING KEEPS DRAINING IT SOMETIMES CAUSING IT TO HAVE HESITATION AND BOGS OUT.

NEW OPTIMA RED TOP KEEPS DRAINING. SECOND NEW BATTERY IN A MONTH. DEAD OVER NIGHT. I'VE READ THERE'S A RECALL ON OTHER VINS. YET MINE IS DOING THE SAME BATTERY DRAIN THING. LEFT MY WIFE AT MCDONALD'S TODAY HIGH AND DRY! WTF! DON'T MAKE ME GET A FORD!

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM DOWNTOWN SUDDENLY MY TRUCK LOST POWER AND I HAD TO LIMP HOME ,FRIEND CHECKED TRUCK AND FOUND TROUBLE CODE P2135 REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND ALSO SAID FOR ME TO CHECK IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM .

THE CONTACT DROVE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.*DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LINDSAY CHEVROLET (5605 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, WOODBRIDGE, VA 22191, (571) 200-4754) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A FRACTURED BRAKE LINE AND THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED AND CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT REPAIRED A PORTION OF THE BRAKE LINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,799.

OIL PRESSURE GAUGE PEGGED OUT AND NOT WORKING ALSO GEAR SELECTOR LIGHT NOT WORKING CAN'T TELL WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN

TAKATA RECALL. WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, TRUCK SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, WHILE I WAS TURNING.I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO START IT BUT NOTHING. I BELIEVED IT TO BE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND HAD IT TOWED TO A MUFFLER SHOP. AFTER FIXING THE PROBLEM TRUCK STILL WOULD NOT CRANK. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED ONCE AGAIN TO MY RESIDENCE. BEFORE THIS I WOULD HAVE TO MAKE 2-3 ATTEMPTS TO CRANK THE TRUCK BEFORE IT WOULD START. ALSO PRIOR TO THIS I NOTICED I HAVE NOT BEEN GETTING AS GOOD OF GAS MILEAGE AS I SHOULD AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND SEEN A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH MY SAME MODEL TRUCK HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THEIR FUEL PUMP.

THE REAR FUEL TANK STRAP HOLDING THE FUEL TANK TO THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE HAS RUSTED/CORRODED AND FAILED. THE RESULT WAS THE TANK STRAP SEPARATING FROM THE PORTION NEAR WHERE THE STRAP BOLTS TO THE FRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON PRIMARY CITY ROADS DURING THIS ISSUE. THE SEPARATED FUEL TANK STRAP THEN RUBBED AGAINST THE REAR PORTION OF THE DRIVE SHAFT NEAR THE REAR AXLE HOUSING. THIS CAUSED IT TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE AND ENTER THE ROADWAY. AFTER THE RETAINING STRAP FAILED, THE REAR PORTION OF THE FUEL TANK WAS THEN HANGING DANGEROUSLY LOW TOWARDS THE ROADWAY.

EMAIL FROM CONGRESSMAN SCHNEIDER ON BEHALF OF HIS CONSTITUENT REGARDING TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. *LD *TR

BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO WARNING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO RUN OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION AND STOP THE VEHICLE SLOWLY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE, I COULD SEE BRAKE FLUID POURING OUT OF THE BRAKE LINES UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THERE APPEARED TO BE SIGNIFICANT CORROSION ON THE BRAKE LINES WHERE THE FLUID WAS NOW POURING OUT.

AT ALL TIMES DURING OPERATION, THE SUBJECT VEHICLE HAS A 'SERVICE AIR BAG' MESSAGE ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, ALONG WITH THE RED ILLUMINATED SYMBOL INDICATING AIR BAG PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I'VE FOUND VIA INTERNET SEARCHES, THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON ON THE CHEVY TRUCKS. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE PROBLEM WOULD PREVENT THE AIRBAG(S) FROM OPERATING IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, BUT I CANNOT ASSUME THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD ACTUATE IF/WHEN NEEDED, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. IT CERTAINLY SEEMS THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL, WITH A REQUIREMENT FOR GM TO CORRECT THE DEFECT AT NO CHARGE TO THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES. INDICATIONS ARE THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL FRAME IS BREAKING AIRBAG LIGHTS ON DASH IS MESSING UP

THE BRAKE LINES ON MY 2003 SILVERADO 1500 ARE RUSTING COMPLETELY OUT. TWO YEARS AGO I HAD TO REPLACE A PORTION OF THE PASSENGERS FRONT BRAKE LINE BECAUSE OF CORROSION. LAST YEAR I HAD TO REPLACE THE LINE THAT GOES FROM THE ABS TO THE REAR FLEXIBLE HOSE FITTING. TODAY I DISCOVERED THAT A LINE FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER IS LEAKING, I HAVEN'T GOTTEN UNDERNEATH TO SEE IF IT IS THE FRONT OR REAR SUPPLY LINE. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAD A 1968 CAMARO FOR 19 YEARS, SOLD IT IN 2004 AND IT'S BRAKE LINES WERE IN PERFECT CONDITION NEVER A PROBLEM. THAT'S 36 YEAR OLD AND NEVER A PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A 2006 COLBALT SS, IT'S LINES ARE OKAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE A COATING ON THEM THAT PROTECTS THE METAL. WHY DOESN'T THE TRUCK HAVE THE SAME COATING? IS SOMEONE GOING TO HAVE TO DIE OR BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED. BY THE WAY ALL THE FAILURES HAPPEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, APPLYING THE BRAKES, NOT WHEN I WAS STANDING STILL.

THE TPS THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CHECK ENGINE CODE KEEPS GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE TPS CODE GOES OFF THE ENGINE LOSES TOTAL POWER AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WE HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL REMAINING EVEN AFTER REPLACING DIFFERENT WIRES.

WHILE DRIVING MY WIFE'S 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 THROUGH THE STATE INSPECTION LANES TOTAL FAILURE OF THE BRAKES. UPON INSPECTION OF THE AREA WHERE FLUID WAS DRIPPING ALL THE BRAKE LINES TO THE ABS WERE SEVERELY CORRODED. AT LEAST ONE OF THESE LINES FAILED WHILE DOING THE BRAKE CHECK DUMPING THE WHOLE SYSTEM ON THE FLOOR. THANK GOD IT WAS IN THE INSPECTION LANE AND NOT WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH MY GRANDSON IN THE VEHICLE OR MY PREGNANT DAUGHTER IN LAW! THE VEHICLE INSPECTOR SAID THIS IS NOT THE FIRST CHEVY TRUCK THAT HAS HAPPENED IN HIS LANE AND I SHOULD CHECK FOR ANY RECALLS. THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AS ALL THE LINES FRONT TO BACK WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AND SYSTEM FLUSHED AND FILLED.

HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP THAT SAID THAT LINES CORRODED AND FAILED. THEY DESCRIBED HOW THEY WOULDN'T ONLY REPLACE CORRODED LINE SINCE OTHER LINES WOULD BREAK OFF. FAILED TO MENTION THAT THIS IS COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR 1999-2003 TRUCKS IN NORTHEAST. QUOTED $150.00 FOR KIT AND $850 FOR LABOR TO INSTALL. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY BOB FISHER (READING, PA) DEALERSHIP EACH YR. SINCE 2015 SO I'M CONCERNED THAT THEY NEVER INDICATED THAT THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CEASED TO FUNCTION WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 170,000.

TAKATA RECALL, I CONTACTED HERNDON CHEVROLET AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME SINCE TAKATA HAS NOT SENT THEM REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. THEY FURTHER STATED THAT TAKATA WOULD NOT BE SENDING REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS SENSE THEY WERE BANKRUPT. HERNDON CHEVROLET REFUSED TO EVEN CONTACT ME IF REPLACEMENT PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE . I THEN CALLED LOVE CHEVROLET OF COLUMBIA AND WAS TOWED BY THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT'S THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS AT THIS TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP, THE DRIVER DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. AFTER DEPRESSING THE PEDAL A SECOND TIME, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN AND THE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD. A CRASH ALMOST OCCURRED DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINES LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE RAIL HAD RUPTURED DUE TO RUST AND CORROSION. THE BRAKE LINES WERE REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 210,000.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

JUST HAD WORK DONE ON THE TRUCK AND IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE AUTOSHOP MY BRAKE LINE BURST CAUSING ME TO HAVE NO BRAKES. LIMPED THE TRUCK DOWN THE STREET TO MY WORK UNTIL I COULD TOW IT HOME. THERE IS NO REASON EVEN WITH LIVING IN A SNOW STATE THAT MY BRAKE LINES SHOULD HAVE FAILED.

MY BRAKE LINE RUSTED OUT CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE AND MY FUEL LINE RUSTED OUT CAUSEING FUEL LEAK. THE BRAKES WENT OUT IN MOTION FUEL LINE ALSO.

THE BATTERY KEEPS BEING DRAINED WHEN ENGINE STAYS TURNED OFF. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS 2003 SILVERADO ISSUE WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS. WHEN I RESEARCHED ON A RECALL I FOUND THE RECALL NUMBER (02066) BUT IT STATES THAT OUR TRUCK VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED BUT THEN WHY HAVE I BOUGHT 4 BATTERIES JUST THIS YEAR ALONE? PLEASE HELP BECAUSE IT NO LONGER CRANKS UP AT ALL. I HAVE TO JUMP THE TRUCK EVERY TIME I HAVE TO TURN IT ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION WITH A SEMI TRUCK. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD WHERE IT WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE CRASH DID NOT FIT THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

THIS ACTUALLY DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH AN ACCIDENT. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON OUR CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 DOESN'T WORK EXCEPT FOR THE SPEEDOMETER. THE MILEAGE ON THIS VEHICLE IS 68,901, HOURS DRIVEN 2,498.6. I CAN'T TELL WHAT THE AMOUNT OF GAS, OIL PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE, ETC. IS. I REALLY THINK WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE THIS PANEL SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER.

LUCKILY, I WAS ON MY STREET NEAR MY HOUSE WHEN MY BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. THE BRAKE PEDDLE WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR...I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK. I FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINES AND WHEN I USED THE INTERNET I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK.

ON 2/20/2017 MY 2003 SILVERADO HAD A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKE SYSTEMS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME, DUE TO PREMATURE BRAKE LINE FAILURE, CAUSED BY BRAKE LINES THAT WERE NOT DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND ROAD SALT USED IN MICHIGAN, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD AND DRIVEN.
