SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN YOU APPLY THE PARKING BREAK THROUGH A FOOT PEDAL ON THIS YEAR OF TRUCK AND THEN PULL THE HANDLE TO RELEASE IT THE PARKING BREAK WILL ONLY COME BACK A LITTLE UNTIL YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY REACH DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND PULL THE PARKING BREAK FOOT PETAL BACK UP TO OPERATIONAL HEIGHT WHERE THE PARKING BREAK (EMERGENCY BREAK) IS NO LONGER APPLIED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE CABLE IS STILL CONNECTED AND WILL ONLY BRING THE PARKING BREAK BACK UP AROUND A INCH UNTIL YOU HAVE TO PULL IT THE REST OF THE WAY BACK.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, SUSPENSION
I STARTED TO NOTICE MY BRAKES AND STEERING COMPONENTS ARE VERY UNSAFE, MY STEERING WHEEL HAS TO MUCH PLAY, SOMETHING INSIDE THE STEERING MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHEN I HIT A BUMP, THE BRAKES DON?T OPERATE CORRECTLY, THE TRUCK SHAKES AND MAKES THE STEERING VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES DUE TO THE SHAKING AND VIBRATION. I WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE LEAKING HYDRAULIC FLUID. BUT TO SUM IT ALL UP TODAY ON 06-02-2020, I REALIZED THE TRUCK IS ONLY GETTING WORSE AND GETTING HARDER TO STEER AND THE BRAKES CAUSE THE STEERING TO MAKE IT EVEN HARDER TO DRIVE WITH ALL THE SHAKING AND PULLING TO THE SIDE AND ALSO I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL BE REALLY HARD AT TIMES AND THEN REALLY LIGHT AT TIMES. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
FRAME IS RUSTY TO THE POINT OF BEING A SAFETY HAZARD. JUST ABOUT EVERY SILVERADO FROM 1999 TO 2013 I SEE ON THE ROAD HAS A VERY RUSTY FRAME. MEANWHILE A FRIEND'S COUSIN HAS A 1969 CHEVROLET C-10 PICKUP THAT HAS SEEN MANY WINTERS AND BEEN SITTING IN A FIELD, AND THAT FRAME LOOKS 100 TIMES BETTER THAN MY 2004. THIS IS A CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. ALSO MY BRAKE LINES RUSTED AND BURST ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT (ANOTHER VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN LEFT IGNORED). TO WHOMEVER IS READING THIS, THINK ABOUT ANY FAMILY MEMBERS WITH A SILVERADO AND WHAT DANGER THEY CAN FACE FROM A COMPANY THAT GOT AWAY WITH DARK METHODS AND IS FACING ZERO PUNISHMENT.
