2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A POLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES WERE RUSTED, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LINE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000. MA 10/14 *CN

DRIVING APROX. 45 MPH ,CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. DID HAVE ENOUGH BRAKES TO DRIVE TO A SAFE SPOT ,ON A SIDE ROAD.LOOKED UNDER TRUCK AND BRAKE FLUID WAS DRIPPING ON THE GROUND . CRAWLED UNDER THE TRUCK TO FIND BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED THRU. TOOK VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS.THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION .

TRYING TO STOP RUSTED BRAKE LINE BLEW AVOIDED ACCIDENT BY USING PARKING BRAKE

CAME OUT OF A STORE AT A SHOPPING MALL AND NOTICED A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND. A BRAKE LINE BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK AND TRUCK BED HAS RUPTURED CAUSING AN ALMOST COMPLETE LOSS OF FLUID.

BRAKE LINES CORROSION AND LEAKING

HOPPED INTO MY VEHICLE FRIDAY MORNING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. REAR BRAKE LINE RUSTED AWAY. FORTUNATELY IT HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE DAY BEFORE I WAS PULLING MY BOAT ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. THERE'S A SCARY THOUGHT. BTW, VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN OPERATED DURING THE WINTER MONTHS THE PAST THREE YEARS.

NO WARNING!!!(SOFT BRAKES OR DASHBOARD LIGHTS), TRUCK BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED IN TRAFFIC! AFTER STOP LIGHT, IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC. SILVERADO CRASHED INTO SMALL CAR AND THEN, THAT CAR INTO ANOTHER. NO INJURIES, MINOR DAMAGE. I LOVED THIS TRUCK. I HAVE A FOLDER AN INCH THICK ON THIS VEHICLE'S MAINTENANCE! NEVER HAS IT'S SERVICE BEEN IGNORED! CHEVY SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF BRAKE SYSTEM. I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP PARTS USED. MADE IN USA, CHEVY TOUGH!!!! WHAT A BAD JOKE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO AN EMERGENCY LANE. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED AND THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY FRONT BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSED AND THE STATED THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES AND POSSIBLY THE ABS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,038.

MY BRAKES FAILED COMING BACK FROM A 356 MILE TRIP. I WAS BACKING UP MY BOAT INTO THE GARAGE WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED. LUCKILY I STEPPED ON THE PARKING BRAKE AND WAS ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT HITTING SOMETHING. I THINK I AM REALLY LUCKY THE FAILURE DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. THERE LOOKS LIKE 4 BRAKE LINES RUNNING FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER DOWN UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE TO THE ANTILOCK BRAKE UNIT. ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES IN THIS BUNCH BELOW THE DRIVER SEAT FAILED. I WAS SUPPRESSED TO SEE HOW CORODED ALL THE BRAKE LINE ARE. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. LOOKING ON THE WEB THIS LOOKS LIKE AN ISSUE THE MANY PEOPLE HAVE ENCOUNTERED. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS DONE NOTHING.

BRAKE LINING &FRAME. *TR

THE BRAKE LINES RUSTED AND FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. ALL THE BRAKE LINES HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO RUST DAMAGE FROM INFERIOR COMPONENT. *TR

I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE WORK AND AS I ROLLED TOWARDS THE STOP SIGN I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE BUT THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I ROLLED THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND INTO THE NEXT LANE, FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AT THE TIME. WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE I IMMEDIATELY SAW THE TRAIL OF BRAKE FLUID AND UNDER CLOSER INSPECTION I COULD SEE WHERE NOT ONE BUT TWO LINES HAD RUPTURED AT ONCE. I WAS LEAVING TO PICK UP MY SON FROM DAYCARE AND IT IS TERRIBLE TO THINK THAT HE COULD HAVE BEEN THERE AND IT MAY HAVE BEEN A BUSIER INTERSECTION. GM CLAIMS BRAKE LINES FALL UNDER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHICH ROUTINE THEY MEAN. NO GM TECH OR INSPECTOR HAS EVER MENTIONED RUSTY BRAKE LINES. IF THEY WANT TO MAKE THE CONSUMER RESPONSIBLE MAYBE THEY SHOULD TRAIN RESPONSIBLE TECHNICIANS. *TR

ON APRIL 11, 2015 I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 SILVERADO 1500 TO WORK. WHILE DRIVING ACROSS TOWN I APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT. MY BREAKS FELT VERY SOFT AND HAD ALMOST NO RESISTANCE. WHILE AT THE STOP LIGHT MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO CREEP FORWARD VERY SLOWLY INTO THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY, THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN SHORTLY THEREAFTER. I CONTINUED APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE WITH NO NEED FOR SLOWING DOWN AND ARRIVED AT MY NEXT TURN. I WENT TO DEPRESS MY BREAKS AND AGAIN THEY WERE VERY SOFT. JUST AS I WAS ALMOST SLOW ENOUGH TO TURN MY FOOT WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. AT THIS TIME THE SERVICE BREAK SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON ALL OF THE ALERT TONES BEGAN. LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT AND COME TO A STOP USING WHAT MINIMAL BRAKING POWER I HAD LEFT. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THAT MY RESERVOIR WAS VERY LOW. I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG BECAUSE I JUST HAD ALL OF MY FLUIDS TOPPED OFF WITHIN THE LAST 15 DAYS WHEN I TOOK IT BECAUSE I HAD 3 BROKEN HEADER BOLTS. AFTER WORK, I CHECKED THE RESERVOIR AND IT WAS TOTALLY EMPTY I INSPECTED THE VISIBLE PORTION OF THE LINES TO FIND THAT ONE OF THEM HAD CORRODED TO THE POINT OF BREAKING (LEAKING ALL THE BRAKE FLUID) AND THE REST WERE EXTREMELY CORRODED ALSO. OVERALL, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WILL BE THE 4TH TIME THIS YEAR IT HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP FOR A COSTLY REPAIR. SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT INCLUDING CLEANING ALL OF THE SALT OFF IN THE WINTERS AFTER EVERY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS FAULTY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE HIMSELF. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED HESITATION ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS BEING APPLIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE AIR CONDITIONER CIRCULATED WARM AIR WHENEVER ACTIVATED. THE BLOWER MOTOR CONNECTOR WAS NOT REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE MOTOR RESISTOR WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I WAS TOWING MY BOAT DOWN A 4 LANE HIGHWAY, APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES FROM HOME. AS I APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT, IT TURNED YELLOW AND I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKING POWER AND I ROLLED THROUGH A RED LIGHT. AS I COASTED I TRIED THE PARKING BRAKE, WHICH ALSO HAD NO BRAKING POWER. AS THIS OCCURRED, I HAD TO ROLL THROUGH ANOTHER RED LIGHT, THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID COLLISIONS. SHORTLY AFTER I WAS ABLE TO EASE THE TRUCK AND BOAT UP A HILL AND ONTO THE SHOULDER. AFTER BEING TOWED TO A DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINED I HAD A COMPLETE BRAKE LINE FAILURE DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION ON ALL THE BRAKE LINES. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES NOW THIS LAST 2 MONTHS MY TRUCK STOPS RUNNING. AT FIRST IT WOULD SLOW DOWN THEN STOP, THE LAST TIME IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN 3 TIMES FROM WORK TO HOME WHICH IS ONLY 10 MINUTES AWAY. THE IGNITION SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM. I AM BRINGING THIS TO EVERYONES ATTENTION JUST IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE HAS THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE. IF I WERE DRIVING 65 OR 70 MILES PER HOUR IT COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE OR ME OR BOTH. MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS ALSO SHOWING A FAULT. IT SHOWS THAT IT NEEDS SERVICED.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED A FLUID PUDDLE IN THE SPOT WHERE IT WAS PARKED. UPON INVESTIGATING,IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT ONE OF THE FRONT BRAKE LINES HAS RUPTURED. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION,ALL BRAKE LINES ARE SEVERELY CORRODED AND SOON TO ACCOMPANY THE RUPTURED LINE. I'M DISPLEASED THAT SUCH A VALUABLE SAFETY ASPECT OF MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN COMPROMISED BY GENERAL MOTORS. I FEEL THAT GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES IN MY 18 YEARS OF DRIVING THAT WERE OLDER AND HAD MORE MILES THAT HAD SHOWN NO SIGNS OF SUCH FAILURE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. *TR

NOTICED BRAKE FLUID ON THE FLOOR OF MY GARAGE AS A RESULT OF BRAKE LINE RUST THRU. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THAT ALL OF THE STEEL LINES IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM WERE CORRODED AND REQUIRED REPLACING. EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL HAS LEAKED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY AND THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NEARLY ON THE FLOOR, NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT HAS ACTIVATED INDICATING A BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. BECAUSE I HAVE PRIOR EXPERIENCE WORKING ON VEHICLES, I KNEW ENOUGH NOT TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE TRUCK. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES ON THE TRUCK BECAUSE THE DEFECTIVE STEEL BRAKE LINE MATERIAL HAS FAILED OR IS NEAR FAILURE THROUGHOUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM. *TR

MY CHEVY TRUCK IS A 2003 WITH 52000 MILES ON IT, ONE OWNER,THE ABS SENSORS IN THE FRONT WHEELS HAVE FAILED 3 TIMES NOW, WHAT'S SCARY IS UNLIKE OTHER VEHICLES, THE BRAKES FAIL WHEN THIS HAPPENS, OTHER VEHICLES THE ABS JUST SHUT OFF, STILL HAVE BRAKES, ALSO I AM ABOUT TO PUT ON MY 3RD SET OF BACK BRAKES IN 52000 MILES, STILL ON THE FIRST SET OF FRONT BRAKES, SHORTLY AFTER PUTTING DISC BRAKES LIKE THIS ON THE REAR THEY WENT BACK TO DRUMS, I ALSO NOTICED THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES LOOK PRETTY BAD WITH CORROSION, AND THE FUEL LINES, THEY MOUNTED THEM RIGHT UP AGAINST THE FRAME SO THERE IS NO WHERE FOR WATER AND ROAD CRUD TO DRAIN, BEING AN ENGINEER MYSELF, I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, THE TRUCK LOOKS VARY NICE UNTIL YOU LOOK UNDER IT, ALL LOOKS LIKE 200000MI 20 YR OLD JUNKER. THE ATTEMPTS THEY MADE TO PROTECT THE BACK DISCS ARE A JOKE, THE INFERIOR MATERIAL USED FOR SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES IS CRIMINAL, AND THEN MOUNTING THEM TO SOMETHING THEY KNEW WAS GOING TO ROT PREMATURELY LIKE THE FRAME IS UNCONSCIONABLE.......AND NO RECALLS ON NONE OF THESE ISSUES IS A SURE SIGN NOBODY CARES. ONE MORE NOTE MY FRIEND HAD A 2002, AND HE HAD HIS BRAKE LINES RECALLED, 2003 ARE IDENTICAL, NO RECALL ?? ONE MORE THING, IN THE FIRST 1000MI MY BRAKE BOOSTER UNIT HAD TO BE REPLACED.. I WILL KEEP THIS SILVERADO UNTIL IT TURNS TO DUST , WHICH PROBABLY WON'T BE LONG , I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A GM FAN, AND HAVE THREE OTHER GM VEHICLES, MY TRUST IN THEM

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES FAIL AS WELL AS THE SPEEDOMETER. *TR

WHEN STARTING UP TRUCK I HEAR A CLICKING SOUND THEN IT GOES AWAY. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. *TR

I WAS STARTING UP MY 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO THIS MORNING TO GO TO WORK WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL QUICKLY WENT TO THE FLOOR BOARD. AFTER ROLLING BACKWARDS FOR A LITTLE I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I RECEIVED THE "SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM" MESSAGE ON THE CONTROL CLUSTER. LOOKING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, I COULD TELL A BRAKE LINE HAD BROKEN OR HAD A SIGNIFICANT LEAK AS THERE WAS A PUDDLE BY THE FRONT PASSENGER AXLE. I AM WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK AND HAVE MISSED AT LEAST A HALF DAY OF WORK. READING THROUGH THE WEBSITE REPORTS, I AM EXPECTING A LARGE BILL FROM THE RUSTED BRAKE LINE REPAIRS THAT SEEM TO BE COMMON IN THIS CHEVY VEHICLE. BEING IN THE MILITARY MY TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN A NUMBER OF STATES, BUT NOT IN ANY NORTHERN STATES OR ON SALTED ROADS. I UNDERSTAND THAT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO DATE BY CHEVY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS SEVERE RUST ON THE FRAME AND REAR SHACKLES. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT BOTH THE FRAME AND THE REAR SHACKLES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND SURGED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A PILE OF BRICK BOULDERS. THE DRIVER SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE BACK SHOULDERS, AND NECK. THE THREE YEAR OLD PASSENGER IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT SUFFERED AN INJURED BACK. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT RECEIVED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. AN INVESTIGATOR WAS SENT TO THE HOME TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE, BUT COULD NOT LOCATE A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000. ..UPDATED 11/21/16 *BF UPDATED 03/07/17*LJ UPDATED 9/27/2017*CN

I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO DOWN THE ROAD AND WHEN I WENT TO SLOW DOWN MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AFTER GETTING PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT I INSPECTED THE LINES AND SAW THAT THEY ALL HAD BUSTED AND WERE ALL VERY RUSTY I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE STATED IT WASN'T WORTH FIXING DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE RUST ON THE FRAME AND GAS LINES IT WOULD COST MORE THAN THE TRUCK WAS WORTH. *TR

AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, I HAD JUST LEFT A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN MY BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY. THE BRAKE PETAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND RATHER THAN RISKING A COLLISION WITH ANY CARS OR PEOPLE, I DROVE INTO A SNOW BANK. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK TO LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM, THE METAL BRAKE LINE HAD SPLIT AND WAS LEAKING FLUID. WHEN THE BRAKES FAIL ON YOUR CAR, IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN YOU NEED THEM LEAVING YOU TO MAKE SPLIT SECOND DECISIONS, AND IN MY CASE THAT CONSISTED ENTIRELY OF NAVIGATION AS THERE WAS NO TIME TO THINK ABOUT USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE POSSIBLE OUTCOMES IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AN HOUR BEFORE OR AFTER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY. MY TRUCK IS WELL MAINTAINED, AND IS FREQUENTLY SERVICED BY A CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE I ALWAYS HAVE ANYTHING REPAIRED THAT THEY SUGGEST FIXING. AS THIS TRUCK CARRIES BOTH FAMILY AND EMPLOYEES, SAFETY IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE AND THIS IS A FRIGHTENING PROBLEM THAT SHOULD RESULT IN A RECALL. I AM HAVING ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED TODAY...IT IS GOING TO COST ME ALMOST $2000 AND THAT IS BECAUSE MY CHEVROLET DEALER IS NOT CHARGING ME FOR THE TOW, OR LABOR. *TR

WHEN THE TRUCK IS CRANKED AND AT IDLE AND IN MOTION THE HEADLIGHTS AND ALL PANELS BLINK. THE LIGHT ON THE PANELS DO NOT COMPLETELY GO OUT BUT IT DIMS. THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE WENT COMPLETELY OUT A FEW TIMES WHILE IN MOTION. WHEN THE INTERIOR LIGHT IS ON IT ALSO BLINKS AND DIMS. AT TIMES THE RADIO GOES HAYWIRE AND STARTS GOING THROUGH ALL OF THE STATIONS. THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND WE NOTICED THAT THE WIRING THAT GOES TO THE HEADLIGHTS IS VERY BRITTLE AND WHERE THE CONNECTORS PLUG INTO THE BULB WERE BURNT AND THE PRONGS ON THE BULB WERE ALSO BURNT AND MELTED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME AND WE CAN'T SEEM TO FIND WHAT IS CAUSING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW,DOOR, AND MIRROR PANEL ONLY HALFWAY WORK. SOMETIMES THE DRIVERSIDE WINDOW WILL GO DOWN AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T THE DRIVER SIDE PANEL WILL NOT CONTROL THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR, LOCK, OR WINDOW EITHER. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND LOCK PANEL WILL NOT WORK EITHER. *TR

ATTEMPTED TO STOP VEHICLE, BRAKES FAILED (LATER FOUND TO BE DUE TO CORROSION) CRASHED INTO GARAGE. *TR

DRIVING MY '03 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 (108,850 MILES ON THE VEHICLE) ON MY WAY TO GET MY OIL CHANGED, MY BRAKES SEEMED TO ALL OF A SUDDEN LOOSE MOST OF THEIR STOPPING ABILITY. I FIRST NOTICED IT APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AFTER TRAVELING ON A STRETCH OF HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH. I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL IN MUCH FURTHER THAN NORMAL. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON INDICATING A PROBLEM. THE NEXT SET OF LIGHTS, MAYBE A 1.5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, SAME THING, PUTTING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. THIS TIME A "SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM" LIGHT FLASHED FOR A SECOND THEN WENT AWAY. I HAVE NOW TRAVELED ABOUT 6 MILES FROM THE FIRST INDICATION OF PROBLEMS TO WHERE I WAS GETTING MY OIL CHANGED. AS I PULLED INTO THERE PARKING LOT, VERY SLOWLY (LESS THAN 5 MPH), I ONCE AGAIN HAD TO PUT THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO COME TO A STOP. I LOOKED UNDER MY TRUCK TO NOTICE FLUID DRIPPING FROM THE BRAKE LINE UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE MECHANICS THERE SAID THE LINE WAS SHOT AND RECOMMENDED NOT DRIVING IT TIL IT WAS FIXED. THEY WERE NOT SETUP TO WORK ON BRAKE LINES AT THIS SHOP, SO I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO ANOTHER MECHANIC. MY BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERALLY RUSTED. THE THING THAT CONCERNED ME THE MOST WAS HOW QUICKLY THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY WARNING, AND BY THE TIME THE WARNING LIGHTS DID COME ON I ALREADY HAD NO STOPPING ABILITY IF I WAS TRAVELING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. GM REALLY NEEDS TO CONSIDER THIS POOR DESIGN IN THE MATERIAL THEY USE FOR THEIR BRAKE LINES, BEFORE SOMETHING LIKE THIS LEADS TO SOME ONES DEATH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE IGNITION MODULE NEEDED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

SECOND FAILURE OF BRAKE LINES DUE TO ROAD SALT. FIRST TIME BACK BRAKE LINES. THIS TIME FRONT BRAKE LINE. MECHANIC SAID BRAKE LINES HE USES NICKEL AND WILL NOT ROT. HOW COME THE TRUCK IS NOT MADE WITH NICKEL BRAKE LINES? THIS WILL COST ME CLOSE TO ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS! EVERY MECHANIC I TALKED TO REPAIRS SEVERAL OF THESE PROBLEMS A MONTH. SOME JUST A FEW YEARS OLD. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THIS TIME WITH MY KIDS AFTER SLED RIDDING AND COMING DOWN A HILL TO A BUSY INTERSECTION READY TO STOP THEN NO BRAKES. WHEN YOU USES THE BRAKES YOU SHOULD HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT ARE GOING TO WORK. NOT GO TO THE FLOOR AND NOT WORK. WHY CUT CORNERS ON BRAKE LINES. IN CASES GM DOES NOT KNOW YOU NEED BRAKE LINES TO STOP. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

LUCKILY WE WERE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN THE BRAKES WENT OUT ON THE TRUCK. WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED A WEEK EARLIER WHILE WE (MY FAMILY OF 4) WERE TRAVELING ON RT 70 HAULING A GOLF CART WE AND/OR ANOTHER FAMILY MAY HAVE SUFFERED SEVERELY OR POSSIBLY DIED BECAUSE OF RUSTY, CORRODED BRAKE LINES. WE LIVE IN MARYLAND, HAVE SERVICE AT LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND MAINTAIN OUR VEHICLES WHICH INCLUDES WASHING/CLEANING THE VEHICLE, SO THERE IS NO REASON THAT AT 107000 MILES THE BRAKE LINES SHOULD HAVE CORRODED. OUR ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR OF BRAKES/BRAKE LINES IS 1681.00. WE WILL GET THE VEHICLE FIXED BUT AFTER READING OTHER REPORTS ABOUT CHEVY TRUCKS AND BRAKES I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO SEND IN MY COMPLAINT. LUCKILY NO LIVES WERE LOST BUT GM SHOULD CONSIDER A RECALL BEFORE THEY GET SLAPPED WITH LAW SUITS. *TR

AT LESS THAN 18000 ODOMETER MILES, THE DTC CO265-EBCM MOTOR RELAY CIRCUIT HAD A FAULT. THE THREE: ABS, BRAKE AND SERVICE BRAKE NOW LIGHTS CAME ON. ON 1/12/2015 THE RUSTED EBCM GROUND HAD BEEN REMOVED AND CLEANED AS PER THE 2003 CHEVROLET K SILVERADO - 4WD SERVICE MANUAL DOCUMENT ID:2245394. THIS PROCEDURE DIDN'T SOLVE THE BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM. THE SYSTEM IS APPARENTLY THE SAME IN 1999 TO 2007 SILVERADO YET GM ONLY RECALLED AND REPLACED COMPONENTS THROUGH THE 2002 MODEL. IT APPEARS TO ME TO BE ANOTHER GM MANUFACTURING COVER UP AND NHTSA SHOULD BE PRESSING GM TO COVER THIS SITUATION. BRAKES ARE GOOD TO HAVE IN MINNESOTA ABS BRAKES EVEN BETTER, I PAID FOR THEM, BUT THEY WERE NOT PROVIDED BY GM! *TR

I RECEIVED A REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY I WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH AND WHEN IT CAME ON I COULDN'T TRAVEL MORE THAN 35 MPH. I WAS AFRAID FOR MY AND MY PASSENGERS LIFE AS WE WAS ON THE VERGE OF BEING HIT. I HAD THE CHECK ENGINE CODES CHECKED AND RECEIVED 7 DIFFERENT CODES. *TR

AFTER MY TRUCK RECEIVED A REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE A DECELERATED THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKED UP. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THE ENGINE DIES. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE RESTARTS AND OPERATES NORMALLY FOR AN UNPREDICTABLE INTERVAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER AND OTHER MECHANIC SHOPS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE REASON FOR THE POWER FAILURE AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CAUSE IT TO DUPLICATE FAILURE WHEN THEY HAVE IT. THIS SUDDEN UNEXPECTED CONDITION IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT OCCURS AND RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNUSABLE FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN SHORT USAGE. *JS

THIS TRUCK HAS MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES SO THE BRAKES ARE NOT OVERUSED. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT THE BRAKE LINE BROKE AND MY PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR. WHEN LOOKING ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS IS NORMAL I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEIR BRAKE LINE BREAK IN THE SAME SPOT. A TRUCK SHOULD BE BUILT TO LAST MORE THEN 10 YEARS SINCE THEY WILL BE SOLD AND RESOLD MANY TIMES IN IT'S LIFESPAN. I DO LIVE IN SALT BELT, HOWEVER I ALWAYS SPRAY THE SALT OFF MY TRUCK AFTER I DRIVE ON SALTY ROADS. AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE RUST UNDER MY TRUCK EXCEPT THE BRAKE LINES. THIS IS CRAZY THAT A 5000 LB WORK TRUCK HAS CHEAP BRAKE LINES ON IT, JUST SO CHEVY CAN SAVE $5 PER VEHICLE. THERE SHOULD BE A MIN REQUIREMENT ON PARTS THAT AFFECT THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. AND AS TO HAVING THE LINES INSPECTED? HOW CAN SOMEONE INSPECT A LINE AND VISUALLY SEE THAT IT IS ABOUT TO BREAK. YOU CAN SEE THAT YOUR BRAKE PADS ARE GETTING LOW AND THEY NEED CHANGED. CAN I SEE THAT THE METAL IS GETTING PRETTY THIN ON MY BRAKE LINES AND THEY NEED CHANGED?? NO. ALL BRAKE LINES GET A DEGREE OF RUST ON THEM, HOW CAN SOMEONE TELL IF THEY NEED CHANGED, TILL THEY BURST. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A DOWN HILL ROAD WITH A STOP SIGN AT THE BOTTOM. I BEGAN TO PRESS THE BRAKE AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I COULD NOT GET THE TRUCK STOPPED AND ENDED UP IN AN EMPTY FIELD TO AVOID A WRECK WITH IMPACT. THERE WAS A HUGE WET SPOT ON THE STREET WHERE BY BRAKES FAILED. VERY SCARY WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. THE BRAKE LINES WERE ALL RUSTED AND HAD GIVEN WAY. ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR SHOP (AND THE INTERNET) THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. I AM ALSO NOW HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY INSTRUMENT PANEL GOING CRAZY. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SAY I AM TRAVELING 110 WHEN I AM ROLLING UP TO A STOP SIGN. THE FAN BLOWER WILL BE ON 0 AND IT WILL BLOW OUT AT FULL FORCE AND WILL NOT TURN OFF, EVEN AFTER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. THIS ULTIMATELY RESULTS IN A DEAD BATTERY. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE SEVERAL JUMP STARTS. THIS ISSUE ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC IS A "KNOWN ISSUE" WITH THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER, MY VIN # PRODUCES NO RESULTS FOR RECALLS. SO LIKE MY SILVERADO BREAK DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ISSUES, THE SEARCH RESULTS HAVE LEFT ME STRANDED AS WELL, ONLY THIS TIME I AM NOT WALKING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY SMALL CHILDREN. *TR

I LEFT MY HOME AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES BEFORE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. I WAS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES.UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ENGAGED THE TRANSMISSION. AT THIS POINT THE PEDAL SEEMED TO TRAVEL FURTHER THAN USUAL. I LEFT THE PARKING LOT AND DROVE ABOUT 200' BEFORE HAVING TO STOP; THIS TIME THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD BUT SLOWED THE VEHICLE SOMEWHAT.(AT THIS POINT THE DASH SHOWED A CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM).BY DRIVING UNDER 30 MPH I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE LINES WERE RUSTED AS WERE THE CALIPERS. PARTS AND LABOR=$1700 THE TRUCK IS 12 YEARS OLD WITH ONLY 26,910 MILES ON IT. *TR

EARLIER THIS YEAR HAD MONROE MUFFLER AND BRAKES REPAIR A BRAKE LINE. LAST WEEK A SECOND LINE RUSTED THROUGH. PEP BOYS STATED THREE LINES NEEDED REPLACEMENT. *TR

WAS COASTING DOWN A HILL AND WENT TO STEP ON THE BRAKES. THE PEDAL THEN FELT VERY SOFT. THE TRUCK PROCEEDED TO STOP AFTER SEVERAL FEET LONGER THAN NORMALLY. THE NEXT TIME I STEPPED IN THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH VERY, VERY LITTLE RESISTANCE. THE TRUCK HAD TO BE MANUALLY DOWNSHIFTED TO COME TO A STOP. HAD TO LIMP THE TRUCK HOME AND ONLY LIGHTLY USE THE BRAKES. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BECAME INOPERABLE AND WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON A DAILY BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE BRAKE LINES ARE CORRODED AND BRAKES GAVE OUT. I NARROWLY MISSED HITTING MY NEIGHBOR'S CAR. THERE WAS NO WARNING, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I PUT ON THE EBRAKE. IT WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED IT NEEDS ALL NEW BRAKE LINES. ESTIMATE IS $1215 PLUS TAX. THIS TRUCK HAS HAD ALL OF ITS SERVICE DONE AT THE LOCAL DEALER AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. I BOUGHT IT CERTIFIED USED WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD ME, "TOO BAD, IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY, NOTHING WE CAN DO". I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! THIS IS NOT SOME POS TRUCK. THIS IS A GOOD TRUCK AND GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM, EVEN THE DEALER TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS KNOWN, BUT NO RECALL. VERY UPSETTING SINCE MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. NO BRAKES!! COME ON GM, THIS IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO FIX YOUR REPUTATION. *TR

I EXPERIENCED COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES WITHOUT NOTICE. FORTUNATELY I WAS DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WITH SPEED LIMITS <20 MPH. BRAKES STARTED FEELING STRANGE WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, I TRIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO SLOWING OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH THAT I COULD RUB UP AGAINST THE CURB TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. VEHICLE TOWED TO GARAGE. MECHANIC STATED THAT COMPLETE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED DUE TO CORROSION. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME A MECHANIC HAS COMMENTED ABOUT EXTENSIVE CORROSION IN THE UNDER CARRIAGE. LAST TIME WAS WHEN THE COMPLETE FUEL LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CORROSION. *TR

WHILE LOOKING AT MY TRUCK AFTER GETTING IT BACK FROM THE SHOP GETTING ALL 4 OF THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED, I NOTICED THE FUEL LINES ARE LEAKING AND EXTREMELY CORRODED. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CHEVY LOVER, AND THIS IS MY FIRST NICE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. BOUGHT USED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014. SO FAR WE HAVE NOTICED THAT JUST ABOUT EVERY RECALL FROM THE PAST WAS NEVER FIXED ON OUR TRUCK, SO WE HAD TO SHELL OUT ALMOST $900 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE LINES FRONT TO BACK. NOW THE FUEL LINES, THE WINDSHIELD SEEMS LOOSE, THESE ARE ALL RECALLS FROM THE PAST. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO PUT A TIME FRAME ON RECALLS CONSIDERING SOME PEOPLE MAY NEVER FIND OUT TIL IT'S TOO LATE, AND OTHERS MAY NOT FIND OUT TIL SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH SUBDIVISION APPROX. 20 MPH I APPLIED BRAKES. PEDAL DROPPED TO FLOOR, SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKES WITH NO WARNING. BRAKE FLUID IS LEAKING FROM DRIVER SIDE LINES REAR OF MODULE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM DUE TO GALVANIC CORROSION. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ?? *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 SILVERADO 1500 DOWN A 3 LANE WIDE ROAD IN CONGESTED TRAFFIC UP TO A STOPLIGHT AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 15-45 MPH. I NOTICED THAT MY BREAKS FELT DIFFERENT THAN THEY NORMALLY DID, REQUIRING ME TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET "MODEST" BREAKING, NOT NEARLY THE NORMAL EMERGENCY/QUICK BREAKING ACTION I'M USED TO. AFTER SLOWLY COMING TO A STOP, I NOTICED THAT IF I HELD THE BRAKE PEDAL AT THE SAME PLACE/SAME PRESSURE, THE TRUCK STARTED ROLLING AGAIN! I EVENTUALLY HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER 2 STOPLIGHTS WITH THESE SIMILAR SLOW BRAKING CONDITIONS, THE RED "BRAKE" LIGHT ON THE DASH LIGHT LIT UP AND A MESSAGE OF "SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM" POPPED UP ON THE DASH PANEL. WITH SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS OF NEARING RUNNING INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, I PULLED OFF THE MAIN HIGHWAY TO A LOCAL MIDAS LOCATION, AND THEIR TECHNICIANS EXAMINED THE TRUCK IN THE PARKING LOT. THE HOOD STARTED SMOKING FROM UNDERNEATH AND MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL. MY FRAME NEAR THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WAS COMPLETELY SOAKED IN BREAK FLUID, AND WHEN WE PRESSED DOWN ON THE BREAKS, WE COULD VISUALLY SEE THE LEAK COMING FROM THE RUSTED THROUGH BREAK LINES. THE SMOKE WAS FROM THE LEAKING BRAKE FLUID, AND COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN RUST DO SO MUCH DAMAGE AND CREATE SUCH A SAFETY HABIT IN MY 13 YEARS OF DRIVING AND MAINTAINING MY VEHICLES. THE STEEL BRAKE LINES WERE COMPLETELY CAKED IN RUST, AND HAD CLEARL

BRAKE LINES FAILED IN 2 PLACES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DUE TO CORROSION. RUSTED THROUGH UNDER THE DRIVERS DOOR AND AT THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR CALIPER. TRAVELING 40MPH APPLIED BRAKE TO MAKE TURN, INITIAL BRAKE RESISTANCE, THEN PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. REMOVED FOOT AND REAPPLIED PEDAL.
