SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:BODY
WAS DRIVING MY 2000 1500 AND HAD BRAKE FAILURE. UPON INSPECTION NOT ONLY DID I FIND EXTENSIVE RUST ON LINES BUT MY REAR SHACKLES ARE ROTTING THROUGH AND SOME PLACES ON THE FRAME. STARTED TO THINK THERE NO WAY THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO THIS TRUCK. ONLY 140000 MILES THIS HAS GOT TO BE A CASE OF POOR QUALITY. NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CHECKED ON BUT IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX. I DID SLIDE OFF THE ROAD BUT I CAME TO A SAFE STOP IN A FIELD LUCKILY MY E-BRAKE WORKED AND NOBODY ELSE WAS AROUND. COULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AND TAKE CARE OF IT. CHEVROLET SHOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT BUT THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US, THEY JUST WANT THEIR MONEY. ALSO THERE IS A LOT OF RUST ON BODY OF TRUCK, LIKE ACTUAL HOLES IN BEDSIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE ROCKER PANEL IS BAD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION ,SINCERELY CHEVY TRUCK OWNER:( *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
MY WIFE AND I DROVE OUR TRUCK TO TOWN ABOUT 10 MILES. I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT SPONGY SO WE FINISHED OUR BUSINESS AND DROVE HOME, WHEN WE PULLED INTO THE DRIVE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT STOPPED. I CHECKED THE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS EMPTY SO I PUT SOME FLUID IN AND ASK MY WIFE TO PUSH BRAKE PEDAL AS I LOOKED AROUND. I SAW BRAKE FLUID SPRAYING OUT FROM UNDER THE CAB ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I GOT UNDER IT AND SAW THE BRAKE LINES WERE LEAKING AND THEY WERE REALLY RUSTED. IT LOOKED LIKED THE BRAKE LINE RUPTURED DUE TO CORROSION. *TR
