FAILURE OF BRAKES AT LOW SPEED, ALMOST STOPPED, WHICH SEEMS TO ENGAGE ABS AND CLICKING SOUND, BUT STOPPING IS VERY DELAYED. HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF MY DRIVEWAY AND OUT INTO INTERSECTIONS. GM REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER RECALL CASE NUMBER 05V379000 BECAUSE THEY SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE GROUP. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED IN DRY WEATHER COMING UP TO A LINE OF TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT. APPLYING THE BRAKES THE ANTI-LOCK MECHANISM KICKED IN AND MY BRAKING ABILITY WAS SEVERELY DECREASED TO THE POINT I ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE NOT REPLACED AND PARTS YET, BUT I HAVE DISCOVERED RECALL 05V379000 THAT SEEMS TO BE THE CULPRIT. FOR SOME REASON MINNESOTA IS NOT INCLUDED AS A SALT BELT STATE. BELIEVE ME, THERE'S PLENTY OF SALT APPLIED TO THE ROADS IN MINNESOTA DURING WINTER. *JB

PARKING BRAKE
PARKING BRAKE FAILURE. WHEN NEW THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL WENT EASILY TO THE FLOOR, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD HOLD ON A HILL WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. DEALER ADVISED THAT ALTHOUGH TIS DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT, IT WAS A NEW DESIGN AND WAS WORKING PROPERLY. WITHIN A COUPLE OF YEARS, ENGAGING THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL DIDN'T DO ANY GOOD - THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT HOLD ON A HILL. I COULD NOT ADJUST BRAKE MYSELF AS IT APPEARED TO BE SOME SORT OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM RATHER THAN A REGULAR ONE. MECHANIC ADVISED THAT JOB WOULD COST $100. SO BE IT. CHEVY WOULDN'T COVER IT. NOW, BRAKE WILL, AGAIN, NOT HOLD AND CHEVY WON'T DO ANYTHING. *NM

PARKING BRAKE
PARKING BRAKE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS BUT NOT FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS OF THE SAME YEAR AND MAKE. WHILE PARKING ON A STEEP HILL I FOUND OUT MY PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT HOLDING. I BOUGHT NEW BRAKES AT DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME MANUAL TRANSMISSION PICKUPS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. AFTER READING RECALL NOTICE I DISCOVERED IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS MY AUTOMATIC PICKUP HAD. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED ON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PICKUPS. 2001 CHEVY HALF TON 2 WHEEL DRIVE PICKUP. *JB

STEERING:COLUMN
STEERING COLUMN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT FAILS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 30,000 MILES. FIRST FAILED AT 30K, SECOND 60K, THIRD 100K. FAILURE STARTS WITH LIGHT CLUNKING SOUND AND PROGRESSES TO LOUD CLUNK AND LOOSENESS IN STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER AND GM ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM INCLUDING EVEN THE 2005 MODELS. THE QUALITY OF STEERING FELL GETS QUITE VAGUE IF NOT REPLACE BEFORE NOISE GETS LOUD. *NM

PARKING BRAKE
PARKING BRAKE FAILURE ON 2001 CHEVROLET 1500 SERIES PICKUP. CONSUMER REPORTS MAGAZINE PUBLISHED A SAFETY ALERT FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM STATING THAT 1999-2005 MODELS ARE AT DANGER BECAUSE OF FRICTION THAT COULD MAKE THE PARKING BRAKE INEFFECTIVE. OUR UNDERSTANDING IS A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, BUT NOT FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE. WE TOOK ONE OF THE TRUCKS FROM OUR BUSINESS FLEET (COMPRISED OF 15-20 CHEVROLET 1500 SERIES PICKUP TRUCKS) TO BE INSPECTED TODAY AND IT FAILED BECAUSE OF THIS PARKING BRAKE FAILURE. THERE WAS ANOTHER GENTLEMAN AT THE INSPECTION PLACE WITH A CHEVROLET 1500 TRUCK WHILE WE WERE THERE, AND HIS TRUCK FAILED FOR THE PARKING BRAKE ALSO. WE CONTACTED MORITZ CHEVROLET, A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AND THEY STATED THAT THEY SEE LARGE #S OF VEHICLES COME IN FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE AUTO INSPECTION ESTABLISHMENT SAID THEY SAME THING - THEY FAIL COUNTLESS NUMBERS OF 1999-2005 CHEVROLET 1500 PICKUP TRUCKS FOR PARKING BRAKE FAILURE. IT IS GOING TO COST US $200 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. CHEVROLET CLEARLY KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED AT ONCE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *JB

STEERING
I STARTED HAVING A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE STEERING OF MY 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO 4WD PICKUP. THE DEALER SAID THE STEERING SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO INADEQUATE LUBRICATION. IT COST ME OVER $300. AFTER THAT, I SPOKE TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. AN ONLINE SEARCH SUGGESTS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS, TOO. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO? *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ANTI LOCK BRAKES ENGAGE AS TRUCK IS COMING TO A STOP, FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS CAUSES AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE AND SOME LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. THIS IS ALSO VERY DISTURBING TO THE DRIVER WHO FEELS THEY DO NOT HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. SAME PROBLEM THAT 1500 SERIES CHEVY SILVERADOS ARE HAVING. *NM
