SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
CHEVY SILVERADO Z71 4X4 IN NOVEMBER 2005, I HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE ABS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE LIGHTLY APPLYING MY BRAKES THE ABS STARTED TO CHATTER AND I COULD NOT STOP FAST ENOUGH AND HIT A LIGHT POLL WITH THE RIGHT SIDE FENDER AND BUMPER. I GOT OUT TO LOOK TO SEE WHY I SLID, BUT THE SURFACE WAS CLEAN AND DRY. I WAS PUZZLED, ON THE DRIVE HOME IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS TIME COMING TO A STOP AND AGAIN LIGHTLY APPLYING THE BRAKES THE ABS SHUTTERED, THIS TIME STOPPING INTO CROSS INTERSECTION TRAFFIC. I WAS NOW SCARED AND THE SLOWER I DROVE THE WORSE IT WAS, I APPROACHED A SCHOOL ZONE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND A CHILD RAN ACCROSS THE STREET AND AGAIN I BRAKED BUT I COULD NOT STOP QUICK ENOUGH AND STRUCK THIS CHILD, NOT SERIOUSLY BUT ENOUGH TO KNOCK HIM DOWN. I GOT HOME PARKED THE TRUCK AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP BECAUSE LAST YEAR I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY AT THE CHEVY DEALER GETTING A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB, AND SEVERAL SERVICE ITEMS COSTING THOUSANDS AND I WAS JUST TAPPED OUT AND I FIGURED I WOULD WAIT TILL I GET SOME MONEY. I HEARD THE OTHER NIGHT ON THE NEWS ABOUT A RECALL ON THIS VERY ISSUE SO I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT MY VIN NUMBER [XXX] IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THE ABS SPEED SENSOR PROBLEM.

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
WHILE DRIVING 2000, CHEVROLET, SILVERADO AND COMING OFF THE EXIT RAMP FROM THE HIGHWAY VEHICLE LOST POWER ASSIST STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS ALMOST HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND R VEHICLE RAN OFF THE ROAD. IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A VEHICLE NEXT TO CONSUMER'S VEHICLE HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID HITTING IT. WHEN I GOT THE TRUCK BACK HOME AND STARTED INSPECTING IT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. BEING A LICENSED TECHNICIAN I FOUND THAT POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED. HAVING ACCESS TO REPAIR INFORMATION WAS ABLE TO FIND GMC RECALL 205010 CONCERNING THE FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP. WHEN CONTACTING TAYLOR CHEVROLET AND TALKING TO MIKE IN SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE, AND TO CONTACT GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEN I CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THIS WAS THE EXACT SYMPTOM THAT THE RECALL STATED, BUT THEY TOLD ME IT DID NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE. THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SOMEONE SHOULD FIND OUT HOW MANY MORE TRUCKS WERE DRIVING WITH FAULTY POWER STEERING PUMPS BEFORE SOMEONE GOT KILLED.*AK
