WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE BRAKES OPERATE PROPERLY UNTIL JUST UNDER 10MPH. AROUND 10MPH IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES FADED AWAY CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LURCH FORWARD. I REPLACED PADS AND ROTORS ON THE FRONT AND BACK THINKING THIS WAS THE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AFTER INSTALLATION OF NEW BRAKE COMPONENTS. I LATER LEARNED THIS WAS AN ISSUE OF THE ABS KICKING AND WAS INFORMED THE ENTIRE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE BEARINGS IN THE HUBS AND COULD NOT AFFORD THE COST OF $280 EACH. SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEN DAILY I ASSUMED I COULD JUST BE CAUTIOUS AND ALLOW EXTRA BRAKING DISTANCE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE PROBLEM. IN MAY OF 2012 I ENCOUNTERED A SITUATION WHERE I HAD TO MAKE AN ABRUPT STOP FROM A SPEED OF 45MPH. AS MY SPEED DECREASED THE ABS ENGAGED CAUSING ME TO LURCH FORWARD AND I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF CRASHING INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I FOUND GM RECALL #05068C FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CORROSION. THE SYMPTOMS IN THIS DOCUMENT ARE IDENTICAL TO THE ISSUE I HAVE EXPERIENCED. I HAVE PERFORMED THE REPAIR PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THE DOCUMENT AND CAN REPORT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED. HOWEVER, IT TOOK A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME AND ONE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO EXTEND THIS RECALL BEYOND THE 2002 MODEL YEAR. I AWARE OF AT LEAST 2 OTHER GM TRUCK OWNERS (2005 MODEL YEAR) THAT HAVE REPLACED THEIR WHEEL HUBS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *JS *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ON SECONDARY ROAD DOING APPROX 30 MPH, WITH 2 VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. THE FIRST VEHICLE HIT BRAKES TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, 2ND VEHICLE APPLIED BRAKES , I APPLIED BRAKES IN MY TRUCK AND PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, ( A MINIVAN WITH A WOMAN DRIVING AND 2 OR 3 CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEATS) I WAS APPROX ONE MILE FROM HOME AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY DRIVEWAY BY USING LOW GEAR AND I HAD MINIMAL BRAKING WITH PEDAL GOING ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. CHECKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY AND FOUND BRAKE LINE HAD BURST DUE TO CORROSION OF STEEL BRAKE LINES. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 55, 271 MILES AND IS 8 YRS OLD . FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH CHEVY TRUCKS FOR YEARS. CHEVROLET AND THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM GAVE ME THE RUNAROUND AND ABSOLUTELY REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY THAT I PAID $2,000 FOR.! WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS MATTER, I WOULD THINK THE NHTSB WOULD FORCE GM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES AS I AM SURE THERE MUST HAVE BEEN MANY ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM, AND, I MIGHT ADD HOW MANY FATALITIES???. DEALER SERVICE MGR. TOLD ME THEY PUT CHEAP LINES IN TO KEEP COSTS DOWN SO PEOPLE WILL BUY THEM. HECK OF A GREAT ANSWER FOR SOMETHING THAT BRAND NEW IS APPROX $50,000 . *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED IN A VERY CONGESTED AREA, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY GOT VERY SOFT AND WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. BRAKING BECAME EXTREMELY LIMITED. WITH THE DRIVERS WINDOW OPEN THERE WAS THE SMELL OF BRAKE FLUID. IF THIS FAILURE HAD OCCURRED 5 MINUTES EARLIER WHILE BRAKING FROM HIGHWAY SPEED IT WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ONCE STOPPED, A TRAIL OF BRAKE FLUID WAS APPARENT AND A PUDDLE HAD FORMED ON THE GROUND UNDER WHERE THE DRIVER SITS. CLOSER INSPECTION SHOWED ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES THAT RUNS FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER ON THE FIREWALL TO THE ABS CONTROL UNIT MOUNTED TO THE INSIDE OF THE FRAME RAIL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD RUPTURED. THIS BRAKE LINE, AS WELL AS THE ADJACENT LINE TO THE ABS CONTROLLER, AND THE LINE FROM THE ABS CONTROLLER TO THE REAR AXLE SHOWED SIGNS OF SEVERE CORROSION. THE SURFACE WAS RED AND LARGE CHUNKS OF CORRODED BRAKE LINE MATERIAL WERE FALLING OFF. THE ABS CONTROLLER, FUEL LINES IN THE AREA, AND THE FRAME RAIL ITSELF SHOWED VERY LIMITED SIGNS OF CORROSION TYPICAL OF A 7 YEAR OLD VEHICLE IN A SALT BELT STATE. 8 MONTHS PRIOR THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALER IT WAS PURCHASED AND A REPORT WAS SUBMITTED STATING THE BRAKE LINES WERE IN GOOD CONDITION. *TR

IN JANUARY 2004, I BOUGHT A NEW CHEVY 3500 DURAMAX DIESEL TRUCK. SINCE MARCH 2005, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE INJECTORS REPLACED A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES. NOW AT 202,000 THE INJECTORS NEED REPLACED AGAIN. CHEVY WILL NOT HELP OUT ON THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE READ THAT EVERYONE SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THIS DEPARTMENT SO THAT THIS CAN BE INVESTIGATED. IN NOVEMBER 2011, SOMEONE WAS TOLD THERE WERE NOT COMPLAINTS. BEING A CHEVY OWNER WITH THESE INJECTOR PROBLEMS, I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN. HOPEFULLY, THIS DEPARTMENT WILL CONDUCT THE INVESTIGATION AND HELP ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM GET A RESPONSE FROM CHEVY TO DO SOMETHING. THESE TRUCKS ARE NOT CHEAP AND JUST BECAUSE WE USE OUR TRUCKS AND PUT MILES ON THEM, AND THEY HAVE REPEATED FAILURES, WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BEAR THE BURDEN. THIS PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK IS IN THE DESIGN. HOW MANY PEOPLE REPLACE INJECTORS EVERY 30-40K MILES? THIS IS WHAT I HAVE HAD TO DO OVER THE LAST 7 YEARS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BEGAN TO SLOW FOR UPCOMING TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE LAST INCH OR SO OF BRAKE TRAVEL SEMI-ENGAGED SOME BRAKING ALLOWING ME TO STOP (WHILE APPLYING EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL). AT THE DEALER WAS INFORMED THAT ONE BRAKE LINE HAD CORRODED SO BAD THAT IT BURST, AND ALL OTHER LINES SHOULD ALSO BE REPLACED AS THEY SHOWED THE SAME RUSTED, CORRODED CONDITION. QUOTED A PRICE OF NEARLY $3000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THEM ALL. I'VE NEVER SKIMPED ON MAINTENANCE, AND SINCE THIS IS A GREAT VEHICLE (BESIDES THIS ISSUE), I'M GIVING THE GO-AHEAD FOR THE WORK. HAD I BEEN TRAVELING ANY FASTER, OR THERE HAD BEEN MORE CONGESTION, A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOUGHT MY TRUCK NEW IN 2004 AS MY RETIREMENT VEHICLE. I HAVE ONLY 42,000 MILES. I HAD MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED TWO YEARS AGO UNDER A DEALER WARRANTY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETER. WITHIN THE PAST WEEK MY TRANSMISSION HAS RANDOMLY SLIPPED FROM A DEAD STOP AS WELL AS DOUBLE CLUNKED FROM A DEAD STOP. MOST RECENTLY, THE AC IS RANDOMLY BLOWING OUT HOT AIR. I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A GOLF CART INSTEAD. SINCE THE TRUCK IS NOW 7+ YEARS OLD IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I'M HOPING THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND LEAVE ME STRANDED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY ON A HOT SUMMER DAY. NOTE: I WAS A VICTIM OF THE US FIDELIS EXTENDED WARRANTY SCAM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE ON MY WIFE'S 2003 CHEVY 2500 HD SILVERADO CAUSED BY CORRODED BRAKE LINES, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WISE TO HAVE THE BRAKE LINES ON MY 2004 CHEVY 2500 HD SILVERADO CHECKED. UPON INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE LINES BY FITZGERALD AUTO IN FREDERICK, MD (WHERE I BOUGHT MY TRUCK, AND WHERE MY WIFE'S TRUCK HAD JUST HAD ITS BRAKE LINES REPLACED), THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY CORRODED. SOME AREAS OF THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED SO BADLY THAT THEY WERE FLAKING OFF. I WAS INFORMED BY THE TECHNICIAN AND THE SERVICE ADVISER THAT REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE LINES IS IMMINENT. AND WHILE IT WAS ALREADY CLEAR TO ME FROM THE VISUAL INSPECTION, THEY BOTH BELIEVED REPLACING THE BRAKE LINES NOW WAS NECESSARY TO AVOID BRAKE FAILURE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE TOTAL COST FOR MY TRUCK'S REPAIR WAS $1408.95. THIS IS AN 8 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, AND THE BRAKE LINES SHOULD NOT BE IN SUCH BAD CONDITION IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. I HAVE INSPECTED MY NEIGHBOR'S 2004 FORD F250 AND HIS BRAKE LINES LOOK BRAND NEW (THOUGH THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL BRAKE LINES). I HAVE INSPECTED A 2007 CHEVY AVALANCHE, AND THAT VEHICLES BRAKE LINES LOOK BRAND NEW (THOUGH THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL BRAKE LINES). WHATEVER MATERIAL WAS USED ON MY (AND MY WIFE'S) MODEL YEAR TRUCK(S), IT WAS SUBSTANDARD, AND CAUSES A HAZARD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY VEHICLE READ 0 MPH WHEN I AM DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THERE ARE TIMES IT WILL SHOOT TO 120 MPH AND OTHERS IT WILL BE IN BETWEEN REGARDLESS OF MY ACTUALLY SPEED. ADDITIONALLY, THE GAS GAUGE GOES PAST FULL WHEN I AM NEAR EMPTY AND VICE VERSA. SOMETIMES THE GAS GAUSE STICKS IN THE MIDDLE SO I NEVER KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER FOR GOING OVER THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN MY GAUGE TOLD ME I WAS DOING THE SPEED LIMIT. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY BECAUSE MY GAUGE TOLD ME I WAS 3/4 FULL WHEN I WAS ON EMPTY. I KNOW AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS A SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE AND VEHICLES WHO WERE LESS THAN 80K MILES OR GOT FIXED PRIOR TO JULY 2011 THEN THEY WERE COVERED. HOWEVER, NOTHING WAS DONE FOR THE VEHICLES AFTER THAT DATE. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS GM OWNERS WITH TRUCKS RANGING FROM 2003-2007 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND WE ARE BEING FORCED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED OUT OF POCKET FOR OVER $500. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND ALL OF THE VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE ON MY CAR AND WAS TOLD BY GM THAT THE DEALER DIDNT SUBMIT THE NEW OWNER INFORMATION DESPITE ME BUYING FROM A GM DEALER. I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO ENFORCE THIS SAFTEY ISSUE AND RECALL THESE VEHICLES TO BE COVERED BY GM NO MATTER WHAT THE MILEAGE IS.
