SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FIRST FAILURE WAS THE DUAL BRAKING SYSTEM I WAS HOOKED UP TO A TRAILER AND STARTED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY (ABOUT 0.4MILE LONG) AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH WENT TO THE FLOOR BOARDS. THERE WAS NO STOPPING EFFORT FROM THE BRAKES. I USED THE MANUAL CONTROL OF THE TRAILER BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. BOTH BRAKE LINES UNDER THE CAB AREA HAD RUSTED OUT AND RUPTURED AT THE SAME TIME. HAD I BEEN ON THE ROAD AT SPEED THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A CRASH. THE DEALER WHO PICKED UP THE TRUCK COMMENTED THAT THIS HAPPENS "SOMETIMES". HE REPLECED THE LINES WITH NON-GM ONES SO THEY WOULD LAST LONGER. THIS WINTER I WAS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING THE TRUCK IN COLD WEATHER AND NOTED THAT I NEEDED TO OPERATE THE MANUAL FUEL PRIMING PUMP TO GET THE TRUCK STARTED. (TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH THE OPTIONAL DIESEL ENGINE. THE DEALER WHEN WORKING ON THIS NOTED THAT THE LINES WERE VERY RUSTY AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. MY SAFETY CONCERN THIS TIME WAS THE SMALL AMOUNTS OF FUEL WEEPING OUT OF THE RUSTED AREAS UNDER THE HOOD NEAR THE EXHAUST. AND ONTO THE GROUND. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS A GREAT AMOUNT OF RUST OCCURRING ON THE BRAKE AND FUEL LINES. THIS WORRIES ME AS THE TRUCK ONLY HAS ABOUT 36,000 MILES ON IT AND I LIVE IN A STATE (VERMONT) THAT USES SAND AND NOT SALT ON THE ROADS AND TRAVEL ONLY MINIMALLY IN SNOW WITH THE TRUCK. WHEN I WAS HAVING THE FUEL LINES REPLACED AND WHILE THERE THE OTHER TWO CUSTOMERS IN LINE WERE ALSO HAVING RUSTED BRAKE LINES REPLACED. SEEMS LIKE MORE THAN A COINCIDENCE. I HAVE REQUESTED THE RUSTED FUEL LINES FROM THE DEALER AND STILL HAVE THEM IF YOU WANT TO SEE THEM.

TIRES, STRUCTURE
I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY BECAUSE I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE FREEWAY AND WAS PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT OF THE AUCTION THAT I WAS ATTENDING. WHEN I HEARD A NOISE I PARKED THE TRUCK AND LOOKED BACK TO SEE A WOMAN ROLLING A TIRE TOWARDS ME. SHE SAID YOU LOST YOUR TIRE. SURE ENOUGH THE TIRE ALONG WITH THE MECHANISM THAT DROPS AND RAISES THE TIRE CAME OFF THE FRAME. I`M SO GLAD IT HAPPENED IN THE PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE FREE WAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY SON WAS DRIVING, WE WERE RETURNING FROM PRESCOTT AZ. WE WERE ON A SMALL DOWN HILL PART OF THE ROAD WHEN THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. I TOLD MY SON TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND TRY TO RESTART IT. THAT FAILED, IT MADE THE SAME NOISE AS A DEAD BATTERY WOULD. I TOLD HIM TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. HE DID SO AND PUT THE TRANSMIT ION IN PARK. I TOLD MY SON TO TRY AND RESTART IT AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED MY CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCK IN 2003 NEW OFF THE LOT AT [XXX] IN ROSEVILLE CALIFORNIA. WITHIN A COUPLE YEARS, I MADE A LEFT HAND TURN AT AN INTERSECTION AND LOST POWER. I NEARLY HIT A HOMELESS MAN WITH A SHOPPING CART, AS I CAME UP OVER A SIDEWALK. I CALLED CHEVY AND GOT TOWED BACK IN. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A SOLENOID? THEY FIXED IT AND THAT WAS THAT. A YEAR LATER, I AM DRIVING DOWN A BUSY MAJOR STREET AND MAKE A LEFT TURN. AS TURNING I LOSE POWER AND MY TRUCK DIES. CARS BEHIND ME HONKING. LIGHT CHANGES TO RED AND CARS STILL BEHIND ME. NOW OTHER LIGHTS ARE GREEN. I TURN MY KEY AGAIN AND IT TURNS ON AND I GET OUT OF THE WAY. I HAVE 4 TEENAGERS IN MY TRUCK WITH ME SCREAMING. I TAKE MY TRUCK TO [XXX] AND THEY TEST DRIVE. NOTHING HAPPENS. THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX. COULDN'T GET IT TO DIE ON THEM. A YEAR LATER, MAKE A U TURN ON BUSY STREET. IT DIES AND LOSES POWER. I HAVE NO BRAKES AND NO STEERING. CARS HONKING. AGAIN TAKE IT TO [XXX]. NOTHING. A YEAR LATER, TAKING A CAR LOAD OF WOMEN OUT TO DINNER AND DRINKS. ALL HARD WORKING MOTHERS. I AM THE ONLY NON DRINKER. AT MIDNIGHT I AM TAKING THE WOMEN HOME. U-TURN AT INTERSECTION, AND TRUCK DIES. AGAIN. NO BRAKES OR STEERING. SCARED WOMEN. TURN IT OVER AND IT GOES. I TAKE MY TRUCK TO [XXX]. THEY HAVE JUST MOVED TO ANOTHER BUILDING DOWN THE STREET. ALL MY RECORDS OF IGNITION PROBLEMS GONE. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHERE ANY OF THEM WENT. THEY TEST DRIVE. NOTHING. THEY HAVE YET TO FIX ANYTHING ON IT. IT HASN'T DONE IT IN OVER A YEAR. BUT NO TELLING WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN. IT JUST HAPPENS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE MY TRUCK WAS BEING SERVICED, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE STEEL HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AND RUSTED AT THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRAME. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE LINES COULD RUPTURE AT ANY TIME DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF HEAVY RUSTING. THE BRAKE LINES APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE WHEN VIEWING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL WELL, BUT ON CLOSER EXAMINATION, WHERE THE LINES COME DOWN THE FIREWALL AND TRANSITION TO ON TOP OF THE FRAME RAIL (BELOW DRIVER'S FEET) IS WHERE THE EXTREME RUSTING HAD OCCURRED. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR REPLACEMENT BRAKE LINES, I WAS MADE AWARE OF THE SCOPE OF THIS ISSUE AND THE VEHICLES INVOLVED WITH THIS ISSUE. I WAS SHOCKED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS ISSUED FOR BRAKE LINES FAILING SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE. SINCE INSPECTING MY VEHICLE, I HAVE INSPECTED SEVERAL OTHER FRIENDS VEHICLES IN THE AFFECTED MODEL YEARS WITH ALL OF THE VEHICLES HAVING EXTREME CORROSION OF THE BRAKE LINES. I FEEL THAT THIS IS VERY WIDESPREAD IN THE RUST BELT STATES, BUT THAT NUMEROUS OWNERS ARE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM A 2 WEEK VACATION (30 MILES FROM HOME) SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON A CITY STREET IN WOODLAND, CA, THE TRUCK JUST SHUT DOWN, NO STEERING, NO BRAKES, NO ENGINE, TOTAL ELECTRICAL SHUTDOWN. IT WAS EVERYTHING I COULD DO TO MAKE THE TURN AND PULL TO THE RIGHT. AT THE TIME I WAS PULLING MY 2009 BIGHORN FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER. IT WAS A SCARY TIME. I FINALLY STOPPED, LUCKY THERE WAS NO CARS PARKED ON THE RIGHT NEAR THE CURB. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THEN WE CONTINUED THE TRIP HOME TO WINTERS, CA. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO IMLER DIESEL IN SACRAMENTO TO CHECK THE ENGINE OUT. THEY REPLACED THE INJECTORS WHICH WE HAD AGREED TO DO PRIOR TO MAKING THE TWO WEEK TRIP. THE NEXT TRIP WAS TO BODEGA BAY ON JANUARY 14, 2014. WE TRAVELED ABOUT 100 MILES. AGAIN WE WERE PULLING OUR FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER. SLOWING DOWN FROM 55 MPH TO 15 MPH, PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN DORAN BEACH PARK AT BODEGA BAY, THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN AGAIN.I CAME SO CLOSE TO HITTING A TREE. ONCOMING TRAFFIC STOPPED JUST IN TIME AS THE SPEED LIMIT AT 55 MPH SEEMED TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING GIVING ME TIME TO RESTART AND MOVE OFF THE HIGHWAY. MY WIFE AND I WERE BOTH SHAKEN UP A BIT, BUT ALSO FEELING VERY LUCKY NOT HAVING A CRASH. WE CONTINUED HOME 4 DAYS LATER. WE PARKED THE TRUCK.THE MILEAGE WAS 143579 AT THE START OF THE TRIP AND 143819 AT END. I HAVE NOT USED THE TRUCK SINCE. I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS LUCKY TWICE, DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO RISK A THIRD TRY. LOOKING BACK, THE SHUTDOWN DID HAPPEN TWO OTHER TIMES BUT I WAS NOT PULLING THE FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE DATES.

MY 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAS NOW HAD TWO BRAKE LINE FAILURES (ONE IN 2010 AND ONE IN 2013) RESULTING IN NO BRAKING ABILITY. IN BOTH CASES THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS QUICKLY USED TO AVOID A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. BOTH INCIDENTS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING WITHIN CITY DRIVING CONDITIONS. BOTH BRAKE LINE FAILURE WERE DUE TO CORROSION ACCORDING TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE A BRAKE CALIPER AND A FRONT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY (DUE TO ABS SENSOR FAILURE).

STARTED THE TRUCK AND PUT INTO REVERSE. THERE WAS NO BRAKE AND NO STEERING CONTROL. I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ALL FLUIDS WERE TOPPED OFF AS NORMAL AND I REGULARLY MAINTAIN THIS VEHICLE. AFTER REVIEWING THIS ISSUE IN THE DIESEL FORUM NUMEROUS DURAMAX OWNERS HAVE ENDURED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH SOME ENDING IN CRASHES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!! SIMULTANEOUS BRAKE AND STEERING FAILURE. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WOW! I TRIED CHATTING WITH GM AND WAS DUMPED DURING THE CHAT. NO HELP THERE! I'LL TRY AGAIN! *TR

THE BRAKES FAILED WHILE I WAS HOOKING THE TRUCK TO A TRAILER. I WAS BACKING THE TRUCK TO ALIGN THE BALL TO THE HITCH AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. VERY LUCKY THIS HAPPENED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND NOT GOING DOWN THE ROAD WITH A 8,000 TRAILER BEHIND IT. I LIVE IN OHIO, BUT THIS IS A TWO WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK THAT IS USED STRICTLY TO TOW A RACE CAR TRAILER. IT'S NEVER BEEN DRIVEN IN THE SNOW. COST ALMOST $800 TO REPLACE EVERY BRAKE LINE ON THE TRUCK AS THEY WERE ALL BADLY RUSTED AND IT WOULD BE JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ANOTHER LINE FAILED. *TR
