SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE EBCM (ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE) FAILED, LEAVING ME WITH NO ANIT-LOCK BRAKES. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY MOUNTED THIS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK (EXPOSED TO ALL ELEMENTS) RATHER THAN UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. IN FACT, CHEVROLET MUST BELIEVE THE SAME THING, BECAUSE THEY CHANGED THE DESIGN IN 2000 (THEY NOW PUT THIS COMPONENT UNDERNEATH THE HOOD). I KNOW THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE (SEE DISCUSSION THREAD "SILVERADO ABS MODULE FAILURE" ON HTTP://WWW.4X4REVIEW.COM/DISCUSSIONS/CHEVY/). FURTHERMORE, CHEVROLET WANTS TO CHARGE ALMOST $1800 TO FIX THIS ($711 FOR JUST THE PART, BUT SPECIAL TOOLS ARE REQUIRED TO CALIBRATE IT). I THINK THIS COST IS PROHIBITIVE (ALMOST 10% COST OF THE VEHICLE) TO MANY PEOPLE, CAUSING THEM TO NEGLECT THIS REPAIR AND GO WITHOUT ABS. THE CENTRAL POINT OF THIS COMPLAINT IS THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND CHEVROLET REFUSES TO PROVIDE ANY COST ASSISTANCE.*AK.WATER CAN ALSO GET INTO THE HYDR, PUMP AND BRAKE DOWN THE BRAKE FUEL,CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE.

STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)
AT APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MILES THE STEERING COLUMN DEVELOPED A RATTLE THAT WAS LOUDER WHEN TURNING OR DRIVING ON BUMPY ROAD. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING MODULE AT APPROXIMATELY 26,000 MILES. THE SAME BEHAVIOR BEGAN OCCURING AT APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES. MECHANIC INDICATES THAT THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING MODULE HAS EXCESSIVE PLAY. MANUFACTURER DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM, AND I HAVE STOPPED DOING BUSINESS WITH THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF SHODY SERVICE.*AK

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
TIRE TREAD SEPARATION ON THE FRONT TWO TIRES AFTER LESS THAN TWO YEARS. "CUPPING ON THE BACK TWO TIRES AND POSSIBLE TIRE TREAD SEPARATION" EVEN AFTER PROPER ROTATION. TIRES WERE SOLD TO ME BY DON OLSEN TIRES PLUS OF NORTH WOODLAND BOULEVARD, DELAND, FLORIDA, AND WERE RETURNED TO THEM AND CONSEQUENTLY REPLACED. THEY SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED YOU OF THE DOT # OF THOSE TIRES AND THAT THERE WERE INHERENT DEFECTS. I AM UNSURE OF THE ACTUAL DOT #, AS I GOT THAT FROM THE REPLACEMENT TIRES, SORRY. THE REST IS CORRECT.*AK

TIRES
IN FEBRUARY OF 2002 THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS REPLACED FOR RADIAL PULL. ON SUNDAY 6/2 THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS REPLACE FOR TIRE SEPARATION. ON WEDNESDAY 6/5 BOTH REAR TIRES FAILED DUE TO TIRE SEPARATION AT DIFFERENT TIMES. THE MILAGE FOR FOUR FAILURES WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000 PLUS OR MINUS 250 MILES. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VAN AND THE TIRES WERE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. I BELIEVE THAT FOUR DIFFERENT TIRE FAILURES ON THE SAME VEHICLE INDICATES A SERIOUS QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE WITH ALL THE TIRES FROM THAT MANUFACTURING LOT.*AK
