FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2000 CHEVY SILVERADO1500 V6 STALLS WHEN DRIVING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO INDICATE ANY ISSUES WITH ENGINE. DEALER REPLACED CATALYTIC CONVERTER BUT CANNOT OFFER ANY REASON AS TO WHY THIS OCCURS. I HAVE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS, DISTRIBUTOR AND ROTOR BUTTON. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY AND CAN NOT BE TRACED TO ANY ONE SOURCE BY ME. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES IT WAS RAINING. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I LOSE THE ABILITY TO USE THE BRAKES AND IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL.*TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON THIS DATE I WAS OUT SHOPPING ,WHEN I APPROACHED A REDLIGHT. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND FELT NO RESPONSE. APPLIED MORE PRESSURE AND FELT ABS PULSE ABOUT 4 TIMES. THEN THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HIT A HONDA ODYSSEY IN THE REAR,THAT CONTAINED 3 SMALL CHILDREN AND THEIR FATHER. LUCKILY, NO INJURIES. LOOKS LIKE A BRAKE LINE FAILED, WHY?????????? THE STATE OF RI IMPOUNDED THE TRUCK FOR AN INVESTIGATION,THE RESULTS OF WHICH I COULD HAVE WRITTEN AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. THEY ONLY STATE THE OBVIOUS. THEY HAVE ALSO SEIZED THE PLATED AND SUSPENDED THE REG. UNTIL ALL REPAIRS ARE MADE AND CERTIFIED . AGAIN I ASK WHY WOULD A BRAKE LINE FAIL ON AN 8 MODEL YEAR OLD VECH. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING TO ME. *TR
