SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SUSPENSION:FRONT
WHEN ROTATING MY TIRES AT 29,000 MILES, I INSPECTED THE FRONT DISC BRAKES ON MY TRUCK. I NOTICED THAT TON BOTH FRONT WHEELS. THE DISC BRAKE PADS WERE ONLY TOUCHING THE ROTORS IN AN AREA OF 1/2" ON THE INSIDE OF THE ROTORS. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED BY THE WARRANTY BECAUSE IT HAD MORE THAN 25000 MILES. I HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS AT MY OWN EXPENSE OF $400. *TR

WHILE RETURNING FROM FLORIDA THE NOISE INCREASED AND THE RIGHT FRONT HUB BEARING FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 32,000 FOR $500. APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS LATER, THE LEFT SIDE FAILED AND THE DEALER REPLACED IT AND I HAD TO PAY $100. DURING THE SUMMER THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $120. *TR

LAST WEEK I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING IN MY TRUCK. INVESTIGATED AND FOUND INSULATION WAS MELTING OFF HEATER BLOWER WIRES AT PLUG UNDER DASH. THREE OF THE WIRES HAD A HALF INCH OF EXPOSED CONDUCTOR SHOWING AT PIGTAIL. AT SAME TIME, MY HEATER FAN SWITCH QUIT WORKING AT THE TWO HIGHEST SPEED SETTINGS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON INTERNET, I HAD TO REPLACE BLOWER RESISTOR AND WIRE PIGTAIL. FAN SWITCH WORKS NOW, BUT VENT SELECTOR SWITCH DOESN'T WORK NOW. MELTED WIRES COULD HAVE CAUSED TRUCK TO CATCH ON FIRE. I HAVE OLD RESISTOR AND MELTED PIGTAIL. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEV SILVERADO TRUCK WHERE THE ABS SYSTEM COMES ON AT 15KMS OR LESS. THIS HAPPENS ON MATTER THE ROAD CONDITION, ITS STARTED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. NOW IT COMES ON ALL THE TIME, EVERYTIME I STOP. WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT THE ABS COMES ON WHEN BELOW 15KMS, SCARELY WHNE YOUR NOT EXSPECTING IT. I REASEACHED THIS AS TO WHY OR IF THERES ANY RECALLS. I FOUND OUT THE 1999-2002 CHEV SILVERADO'S HAD RECALLS ON THESE VEHILCES FOR THIS PROBLEM. PROBLEM IS THAT IT STATED THAT IT'S CAUSED FROM CORRISION IN THE HUB, GIVING A WRONG SIGNAL TO THE ABS SYSTEM. *TR
