I OWN A 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO [XXX]. I HAVE EXPERIENCED BRAKE LOSS WITH THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKING ACTION. THE DEALER HAS CHANGED THE MASTER AND DONE OTHER WORK. NONE OF THIS HAS CORRECTED THE LOSS OF BRAKING. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED UNDER NHTSARECALL 05V379000. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE TROUBLE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. I WANT THE RECALL EXTENDED TO INCLUDE ALL VEHICLES OF THIS TYPE. *JB UPDATED 07/16/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

WHILE NIGHT DRIVING ON A COUNTRY ROAD AT 55 MPH, I DECIDED TO TURN UP THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS OF MY 2001 CHEV. SILVERADO 2500HD PICKUP. WHILE TRYING TO FIND THE DASH LIGHT ADJUSTMENT WHEEL, I ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED THE DOME LIGHT OVERRIDE SWITCH. WHEN IT ENGAGED, EVERY LIGHT ON THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, EVEN THE DASH LIGHTS. I DESPERATELY HELD THE WHEEL IN WHAT I HOPED WAS A STRAIGHT LINE AND BRAKED TO AS QUICK A STOP AS POSSIBLE. FORTUNATELY, THE TRUCK WAS STILL ON THE ROAD WHEN IT STOPPED. I GOT THE LIGHTS TO WORK AGAIN BY TURNING THE MAIN HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 05V379000, REGARDING THE SERVICE BRAKES HYDRAULIC ANTILOCK.

THIS IS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM RATHER THAN AN INCIDENT. THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO DOES NOT WORK. I SAW IN YOUR DEFECT INVESTIGATION GM'S REPLY WAS OVER USE OR IMPROPER USE BY CONSUMERS. THIS IS UNTRUE. MY PARKING BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR ON THE DAY I BOUGHT IT AND STILL DOES. IT DOES NOT AND NEVER HAS BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE. *JB

REAR BRAKE PADS DO NOT MAKE FULL CONTACT WITH BRAKE DISC. OUTER CIRCUMFERENCE OF BRAKE DISC IS UNTOUCHED BY BRAKE PAD WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. I ESTIMATE THAT REAR BRAKES ARE LESS THEN 50% EFFECTIVE DUE TO LACK OF PAD CONTACT. REAR DISCS WERE DEFECTIVELY CAST SO THAT FINAL MACHINING MISSED THE OUTER CIRCUMFERENCE OF DISC. I HAVE DIGITAL PHOTOS TO VERIFY. *JB

OUR 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500HD DIESEL 2WD PICKUP TRUCK CONSISTENTLY EXPERIENCE FALSE ACTIVATION OF THE ABS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL AT ABOUT 5 MPH, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE HARD TO STOP AND CAUSING IT TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE MARCH 2005. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR CRASHES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. WE UNDERSTAND THIS PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED BY RECALL CAMPAIGN 05V379000, BUT WE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM GM. WHEN WE CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS RECALL, WE WERE TOLD THAT IT IS VIN SPECIFIC, AND THAT OUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. WE WERE ADVISED THAT WE SHOULD TAKE OUR VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER AND PAY FOR ITS DIAGNOSIS. IF THE DEALER AND GM AGREE THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER RECALL 05V379000, THEN GM MIGHT REIMBURSE US FOR THE REPAIRS. WE DO NOT THINK WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS FOR A PROBLEM THAT GM IS AWARE OF AND HAS ISSUED A MAJOR RECALL. WE BELIEVE THAT GM HAS OMITTED SOME SMALLER CLASSES OF VEHICLES TO REDUCE ITS COST OF THIS RECALL. *JB

I HAVE A 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO VIN [XXX]. I AM EXPERIENCING AN ABS ACTIVATION WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT SLOW SPEEDS. THERE IS NO ABS LIGHT THAT GOES ON, BUT I CAN FEEL AND HERE THE ABS ACTIVATING. THIS IS CAUSING A GREATER STOPPING DISTANCE THAT IS HARD TO ESTIMATE. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO COME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING OTHER VEHICLES, AND PEOPLE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ROUGHLY IN NOVEMBER, AND CONTINUES EVERYTIME THE TRUCK IS USED. I CANNOT GIVE AN ACCURATE NUMBER OF TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, BUT IT WOULD BE MORE THAN 50 TIMES. PLEASE HELP ME. THE DEALER TELLS ME THERE IS A RECALL FOR THESE TRUCKS, BUT WHEN I CALL CHEVY, THEY TELL ME MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS TRUCK WAS JUST PURCHASED FROM A DEALER THAT TOOK IT IN AS A TRADE. THE PREVIOUS OWNER LIVED IN MICHIGAN WITH THIS TRUCK UNTIL TRADING IT IN HERE IN WISCONSIN (ALSO IN THE SALT BELT).
