Gm is conducting a recall on all subject vehicles build between may 1999 and october 14, 1999.significant changes were incorporated into production in early october 1999, and vehicles built after that date have lower warranty failure rates.the complaint and warranty data appear to support the effectiveness of these changes. Gm made additional changes in november 1999, february 2000, may 2001, and february 2004.odi will continue to monitor this problem and will take further action, if warranted, in the future.for further technical details see the attached engineering analysis report.

While driving down a 50 mph roadway there was a line of cars slowing for a vehicle to make a turn. When gently pushing the brakes to slow down, brake went clear to the floor and could not slow down. Truck was driven into the ditch to avoid rear-ending vehicles. This happened immediately without warning, all braking prior to this incident was normal. When taken to our mechanic, they advised the brake lines underneath were notorious for rusting out and failing, new stainless steel lines were then installed to correct the problem.

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 equipped with Prinx Tires, Tire Line: High Country, Tire Size: 245/75/R16, DOT Number: 04N18HTPC1323. The contact had the tires rotated by an independent mechanic. Upon inspection of the tires, the contact discovered cracks along the base of the tire treads on all four tires. The contact notified the mechanic about the defect and was given a credit for the remaining mileage on the tires warranty. The contact notified the manufacturer about the failure through voicemail and email; however, the contact never received a response. The contact stated that the four tires were replaced. The tire failure mileage was 21,942. The vehicle failure mileage was 342,422.

The component that failed according to the Chevrolet dealer is the "transfer case pump clips", which came loose inside the transfer case and wore a hole through the case causing the oil to come out. If I would not have noticed the oil on the back of my truck, I could have continued to drive the truck, which could have caused the transfer case gears to lock up the front and rear axles while driving and could have caused me to wreck, causing injury to myself, my family or someone else. I marked the area of the leak with a sharpie as depicted in the photos.

When starting vehicle , after initial dash lights times out, I now get an AIRBAG 9malfunction light). Tried resetting, did not work. Now, every time I start the engine, the comes on and stays on.

Hydroboost valve pump shows a recall.,and it's not working properly

I had to replace the replace the housing on my transfer case as it wore a hole in and was leaking. At a cost of 1200 dollars due to myself catching it early as later with a fully disabled case would have been 2600 dollars. My mechanic who deals in transmission repairs told me this a very common problem for Chevy trucks from 1999 to 2006. He claimed he had done 7 transfer cases in one week and was actually replacing a fully wrecked one for 2600 dollars as I brought mine in to be worked on . It had worn a hole through the transfer case and was leaking. As this seems to be a serious defect . I feel it should have been under a recall and reimbursement should be in order for those who paid out of pocket for repairs. My mechanic also stated that he has replaced them at 35, 000 miles and on up. No rhyme or reason to when they fail or leak.

In the middle of the taxiway, while I was traveling my truck turned off while it was running and did not turn on again, putting my safety at risk by being in the middle of the taxiway, after several minutes the truck was able to be removed from the road, then I was able to investigate that I am not the only one that the same thing has happened to him, there is no Safety Recall in this regard, the GM fabric is aware of these cases but only wrote a TSB, it was diagnosed with the scanner and it gave code U1800, before the event there were no lights warning but after the event there is a check engine light on.

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the power steering failed causing the steering wheel to become hard to maneuver. The contact heard an abnormal sound coming from the hydro boost area when the brake pedal or accelerator pedal were depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed that the intermediate shaft was faulty. The intermediate shaft was replaced however, the failure recurred. The contact requested the dealer to replace the power steering pump but the dealer informed the contact that the failure was caused by the power steering pump. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 115,000.

I BOUGHT A 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500HD 15 YEARS AGO AND GAVE IT TO MY 16 YEAR OLD SON. RECENTLY WE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES AND STEERING WAS ACTING FUNNY AND MAKING A NOISE, SO WE REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND HOSES. THE PROBLEM ONLY STARTED GETTING WORSE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND AN OLD RECALL OR NOTICE RELATED TO THE HYDRO-BOOST RELIEF VALVE THAT WAS DEFECTED BECAUSE OF O-RING FAILURE. JUST SEARCHING THE VEHICLE WILL SHOW SEVERAL SITES REVEALING THE PROBLEM. THE NADA SITE GOES INTO MORE DETAIL ON THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE PARKED THE TRUCK UNTIL A DECISION IS MADE. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE HAS TROUBLE WHEN STEERING AND LOOSES BRAKING.

BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS SLOWLY WITH THE BATTERY RUNNING OUT BECAUSE SOMETHING IS STILL RUNNING IN THE VEHICLE BUT EVERYTHING IS OFF. THE GAS GAUGE GEAR CONTROL LIGHTING ON THE PANEL DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT LOCK SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING WAS CHECKED BY A MECHANIC AND HE ADDRESS THAT SOMETHING IS NOT CONSTANT RUNNING EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING IS TURNED OFF THAT CAUSE THE BATTERY TO RUN DOWN WHEN IT IS OFF. ALSO THE LIGHTS DON'T LIGHT ON THE RIGHT SIDE STAYS ON AND NEVER GOES OFF WHEN RUNNING THE VEHICLE. I NOTICED THIS ON A LOT OF 2500 CHEVY TRUCKS. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN TO BE CHECK. PLEASE HELP US TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM YOU SUN.

BRAKE LINE FAILURE IN SEVERAL PLACES. WAS UNDER VEHICLE PERFORMING AN OIL CHANGE. NOTICED FLUID ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FUEL TANK. INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THE REAR MOST HARD BRAKE LINE LEAKING. CONTINUED TO INSPECT ALL HARD LINES AND FOUND SEVERAL AREAS WHERE LEAKS WERE PRESENT. REMOVED VEHICLE FROM USE AND STARTED REPLACING ALL HARD BRAKE LINES. NEW LINES ARE STAINLESS STEEL THUS I SHOULD NEVER RUN INTO THIS ISSUE AGAIN. GM SHOULD HAVE USED STAINLESS STEEL LINES IN THE FIRST PLACE RATHER THAN PLAIN STEEL LINES. THE ORIGINAL BRAKES LINES BROKE LIKE TWIGS WHEN I BENT THEM TO THROW THEM AWAY. I HAVE NEVER SEEN BRAKE LINES IN THIS TYPE OF CONDITION ON A VEHICLE WITH 130,000 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BRAKE LINE FAILURE ON A VEHICLE LIKE THE CHEVY SILVERADO. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO FORCE GM TO PERFORM A RECALL AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

2003 SILVERADO DRIVERS SEAT HEATER TURNS ON BY ITSELF AFTER START UP AND BECOMES A DANGEROUS DISTRACTION TO KEEP TURNING IT OFF WHILE DRIVING. AFTER READING MANY FORUMS, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THROUGHOUT THE GM LIGHT DUTY TRUCK/SUV LINE OF VEHICLES. THIS ISSUE HAS JUST RECENTLY STARTED TO HAPPEN WITH MY TRUCK. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE RECENTLY IS THAT MY TRUCK IS BEING OPERATED IN MORE DAMP CONDITIONS THAN USUAL INSTEAD OF BEING PARKED IN A DRY GARAGE. I HAVE NOW DISCONNECTED THE HEATING ELEMENTS IN THE SEAT TO STOP FROM GETTING BURNED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE ALSO CHECKED FOR RECALLS BY VIN AND NOTHING WAS FOUND.

VEHICLE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO STOP VEHICLE. HAD TO APPLY EMERGENCY BRAKES TO STOP VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 30 MPH. VEHICLE WAS ON A STATE HWY. VEHICLE WAS GOING STRAIGHT.

REAR BRAKES RUSTED OUT FLUID BURST OUT NO BRAKES TWO YRS AGO. FAST FOREWORD SATURDAY 12/22/2018 BRAKES PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR ,LINE FROM BRAKE BOOSTER TO PROPORTIONING VALVE BLEW OUT RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH.

PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM CAR GEEKS AND THEY SAID IT WAS A GREAT TRUCK AND WE WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM TOWING OUR FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER. WELL WE TOOK IT ON A TRIP TO PHOENIX FROM TUCSON AND WE NOTICED THAT THE TRUCK WAS NOT HANDLING VERY WELL WHEN WE GOT HOME I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WAS GOUGED OUT ALL THE WAY AROUND THE INSIDE BEAD OF THE TIRE ALSO NOTICED THAT ONLY THE UPPER CONTROL ARM HAD BEEN REPLACED AND NOTHING ELSE. ALL OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION WAS IN REALLY BAD CONDITION ALSO. ALONG WITH THE STEERING YOU CAN ONLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL A LITTLE WAYS

BODY AND UNDER BODY RUST AND ROT TO INCLUDE FRAME, BRAKE LINES AND SHOCK MOUNTS. BRAKE LINES FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THANKFULLY AT SLOW SPEEDS AND WAS ABLE TO ACTIVATE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE.

AIR BAD SERVICE LIGHT IS GOING ON. PLUGGED IN COMPUTER AND IT STATED THAT THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR IS FAULTY. AFTER CHECKING BOTH SENSORS NOTHING IS WRONG.

TAILGATES CABLES NEEDS TO BE REPLACE IT....

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL OF ALL GAUGES INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER AND GEAR SELECTION ' GAUGES CAN QUIT WORKING WITH NO WARNING , LEAVING THE DRIVER UNAWARE OF SPEED OR DISTANCE TRAVELED. ALSO NOT KNOWING WHAT POSITION THE GEAR SELECTOR IS IN . ( PARK, NEUTRAL , DRIVE ETC. ) COULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO DRIFT AWAY ON IT OWN WITH NO ONE BEHIND THE WHEEL WHEN NOT BEING DRIVEN . CAN HAPPEN AT ANY MOMENT , ANY PLACE !

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT SIGNAL IT TURNED YELLOW. KNOWING THAT I WASN'T GOING TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION BEFORE IT TURNED RED I HIT THE BRAKES TO STOP. WHILE PUSHING DOWN ON THE BRAKES EVERYTHING FELT NORMAL WITH RESISTANCE FROM THE PEDAL UNTIL ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE PEDAL LOST ITS RESISTANCE OR PRESSURE AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD LITTLE TO NO BRAKES. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME AS I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. I THEN PULLED OVER AND AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION FOUND THAT THE REAR HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINE HAD FAILED DUE TO CORROSION. CORROSION THAT WAS CAUSED BY USING INFERIOR PRODUCTS THAT CANT SUSTAIN THE ELEMENTS IT'S USED IN. I NOW SEE THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT GM HASN'T INFORMED ITS OWNERS OR RECALLED. SHAME ON THEM. WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO DIE BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN ON AN ISSUE SUCH AS BRAKE FAILURE. THEY GOT LUCKY IN MY CASE.

THE BRAKE LINE KEEP RUSTING OUT ON THESE VEHICLE AND THAT IS VERY DANGOURES TO ME AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE RODE

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE BREAKING ON THE 6.0 ENGINE. I THINK GM SHOULD DO THIS REPAIR SINCE I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE AND THIS IS VERY COMMON. IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED. I HAVE PUT UP WITH THIS AS IT STARTED AS A SMALL LEAK BUT IS GETTING WORSE.

THE ISSUE I'M REPORTING TOOK PLACE IN MY 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500HD VIN: [XXX] BUT THE VEHICLE ITSELF WAS NOT AT FAULT. THE PROBLEM WAS FROM A EVERSTART MAXX BATTERY SERIAL# JCH1600480782 MANUFACTURED BY JOHNSON CONTROLS INC, SOLD BY WALMART. I NOTICED A PROBLEM ON 7/25/2017 AFTER DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN NEEDING TO USE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER TO CLEAN INSECTS OFF TO IMPROVE VISIBILITY. WHEN I USED THE CONTROL TO ACTIVATE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER ARRIVING HOME I ATTEMPTED TO FILL THE WASHER FLUID BUT IT WAS ALREADY HALF FULL. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK AND NOTICED LEAKING WASHER FLUID. I THOUGHT MAYBE THERE WAS A LEAK SOMEWHERE SO I INVESTIGATED IT. TO GET TO THE WASHER BOTTLE THE BATTERY MUST BE REMOVED AND WHEN REMOVED IT WAS EVIDENT THAT THE BATTERY WAS LEAKING ACID EVERYWHERE. SOME ACID DID GET ON MY CLOTHING AND ATE THROUGH IT BUT THANKFULLY NONE MADE CONTACT WITH MY SKIN. THE BATTERY SITS ABOVE THE WASHER BOTTLE, PUMP, LINES, AND BATTERY TRAY - ALL OF THESE COMPONENTS WERE DESTROYED BY LEAKING ACID. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH JOHNSON CONTROLS INC, THE MAKER OF THE BATTERY AND THEY SEEM DISINTERESTED IN WHAT HAPPENED. I HAVE SAVED ALL DAMAGED PARTS, RECEIPTS, AND CORRESPONDENCE SO FAR. IN THE FOLLOWING PICTURES YOU WILL SEE THE WHITE CORROSION FROM THE ACID LEAK AND THE PARTS THAT WERE DESTROYED LEAVING THE WINDSHIELD WASHER INOPERABLE WHILE DRIVING AND REDUCING VISIBILITY. I'LL ALSO INCLUDE A PICTURE OF THE SHIRT THAT CAME INTO CONT

4 RUGGED TERRAIN T/A LT265/75R-16 PURCHASED AT ODOMETER 91681. TIRES ROTATED AT 100955. FOLLOWING HAPPENED WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING. ON 8/19/2015, ODOMETER 109831, VEHICLE VIBRATING, FOUND BUBBLE (TREAD SEPARATION) ON LEFT REAR TIRE. TIRE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. ON 8/4/2017, ODOMETER 121840, VEHICLE VIBRATING, FOUND BUBBLE (TREAD SEPARATION) ON RIGHT REAR TIRE. HAVE NOT TAKEN TIRE TO DEALER YET. FRONT TIRES SEEM TO BE "SINGING" WITH A "RHYTHM" (BEST I CAN EXPLAIN). I'M HAVING ALL CHECKED OUT TODAY. I DON'T TRUST THESE TIRES ANYMORE.

NOT MY VEH. NEVER HAS BEEN, TOLD DEALER 3 TIMES, STILL GETTING NOTICES.

GAUGE CLUSTER MALFUNCTION REDUCED ENGINE POWER

5 OUT OF 8 EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE BROKEN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE AND 2 ON DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE 120K MILES ON VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW. 3 TIMES THE DRIVERS SEAT BACK BROKE ON THE RIGHT SIDE LOWER WELD ON SEAT BACK FRAME.

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE BREAKING CREATING A FIRE HAZARD FROM THE HOT EXHAUST REACHING THE WIRING HARNESS, IT IS ALSO CREATING FUMES IN MY CAB. FIRST NOTED A NOISE A WEEK AGO, FOUND IT TO BE A EXHAUST LEAK AND THE LEAK HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. I AM UNABLE TO NOT DRIVE TO THE TRUCK DUE TO WORK.

ROCKER PANELS AND CAB CORNER RUSTED OUT, WAS ABLE TO PUSH MY FINGER THROUGH THE PAINT. HAD THEM REPLACED IN SPRING OF 2014. REPLACED A REAR BRAKE LINE AT THE TIME DUE TO EASE OF ACCESS WITH BOX REMOVED. SPRING OF 2016, I HAD A FRONT BRAKE LINE FAIL WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. HAD ENOUGH BRAKING LEFT TO STOP INT TIME. REPLACED FRONT BRAKE LINES DUE TO RUST. REAR SECTION OF FRAME IS RUSTING ALONG WITH LINES ON DIESEL FUEL COOLER AND FRONT CONTROL ARMS. THIS IS NOT MY PRIMARY VEHICLE. WE USE IT FOR TRIPS AND TO PULL OUR CAMPER. I HAVE TRIED TO DRIVE IT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE ON SALTY AND SLOPPY ROADS. THE PAINT ON OUTSIDE AND THE INTERIOR LOOKS GREAT. I AM CONCERNED ON HOW MUCH LONGER IT WILL BE SAFE TO DRIVE AND TOW.

BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED AND CORRODED TO THE POINT THAT THEY ARE LEAKING AND DEVELOPING SMALL CRACKS IN THEM.

THE VEHICLE GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE LOSES POWER TO ABOUT 20 MPH. IF DRIVING 70 MPH IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE SUDDEN REDUCED ENGINE POWER WILL CAUSE A SEVERE ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY KILL SOMEBODY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING THE LAST FEW MONTHS. *TR

THE BRAKE LINE TO THE FRONT BRAKES BURST AND RESULTED IN NO BRAKES. IN 2013 THE BRAKE LINE TO THE REAR BURST AND HAD THE SAME RESULT. FORTUNATELY I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT IN EITHER CASE. I REPAIRED THE REAR BRAKE LINE AND I EXPECTED YOUR ORGANIZATION TO ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE MY RESEARCH INDICATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED TO ISSUE A RECALL. THERE IS A REASONABLE EXPECTATION THAT A VEHICLE IN GOOD CONDITION THAT IS TEN YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 100,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE ITS BRAKES FAIL COMPLETELY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. WHY ARE THESE VEHICLES ALLOWED TO BE PRODUCED WITH BRAKE LINES MADE OF MATERIALS THAT WILL CERTAINLY FAIL IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IN BOTH INSTANCES, I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A DRIVER, ESPECIALLY AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER HAS THEIR BRAKES FAIL AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. YOU SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE VEHICLES INVOLVED.

INVOLVING MY 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO C2500HD, VIN: [XXX]; WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THIS VEHICLE,ON A FLAT SURFACE IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ROLL. NARROWLY MISSING ANOTHER VEHICLE...MINUTES EARLIER I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON A MAJOR MICHIGAN HIGHWAY. THERE IS BRAKE FLUID LEAKING NEAR THE CENTER OF THE VEHICLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE DEFLATED DUE TO A FRACTURED ALUMINUM RIM. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES LEAKED AND WERE REPLACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION. THE FRONT BRAKES FAILED WHILE DRIVING. THE GAS LINE LEAKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER WERE ACTING ERRATICALLY, SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ 110 MPH AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED, THE TACHOMETER WOULD READ 0- 1000 RPM AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS, HAD TO SEND CLUSTER FOR REPAIR. MAIN GROUNDING STRAP WAS BROKEN DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION AND REPLACED AFTER BEING TOWED TO DEALER. AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT IS ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS IS MY THIRD EVENT RELATING TO BRAKE LINE FAILURE. THIS EVENT, I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SPONGY. FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWED A LEAK OF BRAKE FLUID ABOVE MY FUEL TANK AND AT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. THERE APPEARS TO BE FLUID ON THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK BEHIND THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO INSPECT THE LINE ABOVE THE FUEL TANK AT THIS TIME. I HAVE ATTACHED A PHOTO OF THE WET FRAME BEHIND THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. IT SHOWS A RUSTED BRAKE LINE. THE FIRST TWO EVENTS MY JUVENILE SON WAS DRIVING. FOR ALL EVENTS WE WERE EXTREMELY FORTUNATE TO BE OPERATING IN OUR YARD, SO NO ACCIDENTS. THE FIRST TWO EVENTS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO. INSPECTING THE BRAKE LINES THAT FAILED, SHOWED THAT THESE LINES WERE SEVERELY RUSTED. AS A MATTER OF FACT, INSPECTING THE LINES THAT ARE VISIBLE, THEY ALL SHOW SIGNS OF RUSTING. I AM FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO REPAIR THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION, SO I DO NOT HAVE ANY DEALER PAPERWORK TO DOCUMENT THE REPAIRS. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS OF GENERAL MOTOR TRUCKS OUT THERE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND LIKE MYSELF DECIDED TO JUST REPAIR IT THEMSELVES, AVOIDING THE COMPLAINT PROCESS. OR, I QUESTION IF, LIKE MYSELF, THEY EVEN HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT. PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR THE LAST EXPRESSION OF FRUSTRATION. FINALLY, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DIE FOR THIS TO BECOME SERIOUS ENOUGH FOR A RECALL ORDER? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS VERY SERIOUS MATT

TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY WHEN SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD. PULLED OVER AND WITHIN SEVERAL MINUTES THE WHOLE TRUCK WAS ON FIRE.

MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT RECEIVED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 196,000.

THE BRAKE LINE SYSTEM IS INCREDIBLY RUSTED. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MUCH CORROSION BEFORE ON A VEHICLES BRAKE LINES. LUCKILY, THE LINE THAT RUNS FRONT TO BACK RUPTURED WHILE MOVING SLOWLY DOWN MY OWN DRIVEWAY! I LOOKED AT THE REST OF THE LINES UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK AND WAS AMAZED AT THE CONDITION OF THESE LINES. I AM VERY DISTURBED THAT THESE LINES ARE SO BADLY EFFECTED BY "NORMAL" NEW ENGLAND ROAD CONDITIONS. IT IS QUOTED FROM THE DEALER THAT IT WILL COST ME $1300.00 OR MORE TO REPLACE THE LINE SET. DISGRACEFUL.
