SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
GAS PEDAL STICKS EVERY TIME YOU START THE TRUCK, WHICH MAKES YOU LUNGE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITUATION & I THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE ABS SYSTEM WENT OUT AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THEY SAID IT WAS VERY COMMON FOR THE CHEVROLET, SILVERADO TO DO THAT, I THINK IT SHOULD BE CHECKED ON TOO.*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO OPERATE WHEN SWITCHED ON REGARDLESS OF SPEED OR MODE. THIS PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE IN THE LAST WEEK OR TWO, AND I AM GETTING READY TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO A TRUSTED NON-DEALER REPAIR FACILITY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. IS THIS PROBLEM COMMON WITH GM PRODUCTS (ESP. CHEVY TRUCKS) OF THAT AGE? IT IS A SAFETY-RELATED ISSUE. THE DATE CITED ABOVE IS ONLY THE MOST RECENT OF SEVERAL FAILURES.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT. MY BRAKES HABITUALLY FAIL IF I HIT A BUMP WHILE BRAKING, AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER THAT MY BRAKES ARE OPERATING WITHIN THE NORMAL SPECS FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THE DRIVING CONDITIONS IN MY AREA. THEY DO NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I USE MY PERSONAL VEHICLE TO RESPOND TO FIRES AND MEDICAL EMERGENCIES, AND AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT EN ROUTE TO HELP SOMEONE. ALSO, MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OCCASIONALLY GOES INTO NEUTRAL WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, OR WILL NOT ENGAGE UPON PUTTING IT IN 'DRIVE', BUT THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO DUPLICTE THE PROBLEM, SO THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIX IT. MY FUEL PUMP HAS FAILED AND BEEN REPLACED MORE THAN ONCE. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS REPEATEDLY FAIL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.*AK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE COMPONENT FAILURE. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY HAD MANY TRUCKS COME IN WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED, AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD RECALL OTHERS TO CHECK OUT PROBLEM BEFORE WE HAVE ANY FATALITIES. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED.**** DIMS 11 IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****761182. *AK *JB
