RUSTY BRAKELINES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TRUCK, FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON, SHUT DOWN CAUSING ME TO LOOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKE CAPABILITY. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN TO RE-START THE TRUCK. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE DONE THE SAME THING EACH TIME TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED ONCE IN 2002 THEN CONSTANTLY 4-5 TIMES A YEAR AND AGAIN TODAY. GM HAS TOLD ME IN THE PAST THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD CAUSE THAT ISSUE. I COULD NOT GET MY LOCAL CHEVROLET SHOP MANAGER TO GIVE ME A STRAIGHT YES OR NO ANSWER REGARDING WHETHER MY PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ISSUES BEING EXPERIENCED BY EFFECTED GM MODELS WITH IGNITION PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE DUE TO THE RECALLED IGNITION SWITCHES AS I HAVE HAD THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LOOKED AT AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND AN ISSUE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE TRUCK TO SHUT OFF RANDOMLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THEN TURN RIGHT BACK OVER AFTER SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL!! I BELIEVE THAT THE CURRENT RECALL DOES NOT COVER ALL OF THE VEHICLES THAT ARE TRULY AFFECTED. I HAVE HAD MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED AND HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT TO THIS POINT.

ABOUT 165,000 MILES BRAKE PEDAL STARTED TO PULSATE AT LOW SPEED WHEN STOPPING.STARTED OUT ONLY WHEN I WOULD BE TURNING LEFT,NOW DOES IT GOING STAIGHT,ABOUT 170,000 MILES NOW.HAD NEW CALIPER ON DRIVER SIDE,NEW HUB ASSEMBLIE AND SENSOR ON PASSENGER SIDE,BRAKE SYSTEM FLUSHED,STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE PEDAL PULSATING,DOES NOT MATTER WHAT KIND OF ROAD I'M ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ABS KICKED IN; HOWEVER, THERE WAS A LOSS OF BRAKE FUNCTION. THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLE WAS DRAMATICALLY REDUCED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A WHEEL BEARING SENSOR FAILURE. THE ENTIRE WHEEL BEARING WITH THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED AND FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V379000. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

ABS STOPPED BRAKE PEDAL FROM GOING DOWN. BY THE TIME I LIFTED AND PUMPED AGAIN VEHICLE STRUCK YOUNG GIRL. TRAVEL WAS ABOUT SIX FEET. THERE IS A RECALL IN OTHER STATES BUT NOT KY.

WAS STARTING OUT OF DRIVEWAY ON SLIGHT SLOPE. APPLIED BRAKES AND ANTILOCK SYSTEM KICKED IN. UNDER 5MPH. ROLLED IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. A TRUCK HAD TO VEER TO AVOID COLLISION WITH US. BECAME AWARE THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT VEHICLE HADN'T BEEN RECALLED BECAUSE IT IS IN KENTUCKY. #05V379000 RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO KY BECAUSE OF SALT FOR SNOW AND GRAVEL ROADS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO FORCE THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,610.

WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING REAL SLOW OR PARKING THE ANTILOCK BRAKES KICK IN MAKING I DIFFICULT TO STOP. I TALKED TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING FOR ME. ALTHOUGH IT IS THE SAME DESIGN ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE RECALLED ON RECALL #05V37900, THE SAY MY TRUCK IS NOT COVERED. *TR

I OWN A 2002 CHEVY SILVERADO, AND I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES FAIL ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES THE FIRST TIME I ENCOUNTERED THIS ISSUE WAS IN EARLY JANUARY WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I WENT TO SLOW DOWN I HAD NO BRAKES AND MY VEHICLE ROLLED INTO THE STREET LUCKILY I WASN'T GO VERY FAST AND THERE WERE NO CARS COMING SO I DIDN'T GET HIT. THE REPAIRS COST ME 175$, THAT WAS REPAIRING THE PROBLEM TO BARE MINIMUM (SINGLE BRAKE LINE REPLACEMENT). AFTER I FIXED THAT ISSUE I RAN INTO ANOTHER PROBLEM, THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM WILL NOW SPONTANEOUSLY TURN ON WHEN I COME TO A STOP, IT RESULTED IN A THREE CAR CRASH, I WAS GOING TO BACK INTO A PARKING SPOT AND WHEN I PULLED MY TRUCK FORWARD I TRIED TO STOP AND THE ABS LOCKED UP MY TRUCKS BRAKES (NOT SLIPPERY OUT) AND FORCED ME TO HIT TWO OTHER VEHICLES, ONE WAS MAJORLY DAMAGED AND ANOTHER WITH MINOR YET STILL SEVERE DAMAGE, THIS ACCIDENT ENDED WITH ME PAYING MORE IN INSURANCE AND HAVING TO FIX THE DAMAGES ON MY OWN VEHICLE OUT OF POCKET. I WILL ALSO IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE NEED TO REPLACE ALL MY BRAKE LINES BECAUSE THEY ARE ON THE VERGE OF FAILING AND I AM BEING PRICED NEAR 900$ FOR THE REPAIRS, I AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH THE ABS PROBLEM IS GOING TO BE BECAUSE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN PARKED EVER SINCE THE INCIDENT, THE BRAKES ARE COSTING ME A LOT OF MONEY AND HARDSHIP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE VEHICLE STOPPED, THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000. UPDATED 04/06/15*LJ UPDATED 9/27/2017*CN

AS I WAS DRIVING I APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. AS I APPLIED THEM, THE PEDAL NEVER OFFERED MUCH RESISTANCE AND EVENTUALLY WENT TO THE FLOOR. I SUSPECTED THAT A FLEXIBLE BRAKE LINE HAD RUPTURED SO I GOT OFF THE STREET AS QUICKLY AS I COULD. I EXAMINED THE INSIDE OF ALL OF THE WHEELS WHERE I THOUGHT THAT BRAKE FLUID MIGHT BE EVIDENT. THERE WAS NONE TO BE SEEN. I LIMPED HOME WITH THE VEHICLE AND EXAMINED IT MORE CLOSELY. THERE WAS A MAJOR LEAK UNDER THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE IN A RIGID BRAKE LINE LEADING TO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE CONTROLLER. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT GM HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR RUSTED BRAKE LINES. IN MY OPINION THESE LINES SHOULD BE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY MATERIAL TO BE FOUND. GM, HOWEVER, MUST NOT THINK THAT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS WARRANTS ANY BETTER MATERIALS THAN THE RUST PRONE METAL THAT THE BRAKE LINES ARE MANUFACTURED FROM. *TR

I T-BONED A MINI VAN THAT FAILED TO TO YIELD ON A TURN AT 35 MPH, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

TRAVELING ON A GRAVEL ROAD @ ABOUT 45 MPH. OTHER THAN BEING GRAVEL, THE ROAD IS VERY SMOOTH. HEARD A LOUD BANG AND FELT IT IN THE VEHICLE AND IN THE STEERING WHEEL. FOUND DRIVER'S SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING REAR MOUNTING SHACKLE HAD BROKEN ALLOWING LEAF SPRING TO SLAM AGAINST THE BOTTOM OF THE BED, PUTTING AN UPWARD DENT IN IT.
