SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE CHEVROLET SILVERADO IS TOO SENSITIVE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE THE SYSTEM ACTIVATED WHEN IT SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO EXPERIENCE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES.I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM.I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH YOUR OFFICE SEVERAL YEARS AGO,BUT HAVE YET TO SEE ANY ACTION TAKEN TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM

STRUCTURE
ON THE 2002 SILVERADO CHEVY PU TRUCK, THERE IS A PLASTIC COVER OVER A BAR UNDER THE DASH BOARD, NEAR THE GAS PEDAL. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE TIP OF THE SOLE OF A DRIVER'S SHOE CAN GET SNAGGED ON THAT PIECE OF PLASTIC WITH THE EFFECT THAT THE DRIVER'S FOOT IS HELD DOWN OF THE GAS PEDAL. ONE DRIVER EXPERIENCED THAT.

IT DOESN'T HAPPENED ALL THE TIME, BUT HE IS AFRAID THAT MAY CAUSE HIM TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. MANUFACTURER5 WAS NOT DCONTACTED. DEALER WAS CONTACTED, AND STATED THAT GMC HA ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. BUT IT WOULD COST THE CONSUMER IF IT WAS NOT BROKEN, AND THE WARRANTY WILL NOT REPLACE IT UNLESS BROKEN.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS, SUSPENSION:REAR:SHOCK ABSORBER
MY 2003 CHEVROLET DURAMAX TRUCK THAT I RECENTLY PURCHASED, SHEARED THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SHOCK MOUNT OFF AFTER HITTING A CUT OFF TREE STUMP IN SOME TALL GRASS. NOT KNOWING THIS OCCURRED, THE FOLLOWING MORNING ON 7/27/03, I WENT TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN ALONG A BUSY HIGHWAY IN NINILCHIK, ALASKA, AND HAD BREAK FAILURE. CHECKING, I FOUND A SHEARED SHOCK MOUNT AND WITH THE BREAK LINE ATTACHED TO THIS BRACKET WITH A BOLT, IT TOOK THE BREAK LINE OUT AS WELL. AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE TOWED TO HUTCHENSONS CHEVEROLET IN SOLDOTNA, ALASKA THE REPAIRS WERE MADE AND I LEFT. BEFORE MAKING IT BACK TO NINILCHIK, AK. I ALMOST REAR-END A VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAD NO BREAKS. CHECKING OUT THE SHOCK MOUNT AGAIN, I FIND THE WELD HAD NOT HELD AND BROKE AGAIN AND TAKEING OUT THE BREAK LINE AGAIN. HUTCHENSON CHEVROLET REFUSED TO BOLT TO ANY OTHER PLACE OTHER THAN WHERE THE MANUFACTURE HAD BOLTED IT BEFORE. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE OFF ROADING NOT KNOWING THIS HAZORD EXIST AND IT DOES ON ALL OF THE NEWERCHEVROLET TRUCKS.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS ON MY 2000 CHEVROLET TRUCK. AFTER 18,600 MILES ALL FOUR ROTORS HAVE STATED TO FALL APART. THE SURFACE WERE THE PAD CONTACT HAVE GREAT AMOUNT OF CORROSION AND THE ROTOR MATERIAL FLAKED OFF. SOME HAD VOIDS ABOUT TWO INCHES IN DIAMETER AND DEEP ENOUGH THAT THE PADS NO LONGER MADE CONTACT WITH THE SURFACE OF THE ROTOR. THE MATERIAL THAT RUSTED OFF GOT IMBEDDED INTO THE PADS SO THEY WERE LESS EFFECTIVE ON THE REMAINING SURFACE MATERIAL OF THE ROTOR. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHEN THE TRUCK DID NOT WANT TO STOP PROPERLY. I HAD MY LOCAL GARAGE CHECK THE BRAKES AND THEY INFORMED ME ABOUT THE ROTORS. THEY REBUILT THE REAR BRAKES. I THEN TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL CHEVY GARAGE AND THEY REPLACED THE FRONT AT NO COST.*AK
