SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
LIKE MANY OTHER GM TRUCKS, THE STEEL BRAKE LINE RUSTED AND FAILED. I WAS BACKING BY BOAT ON TO THE RAMP WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED. THE WEIGHT OF THE BOAT AND THE STEEPNESS OF THE RAMP PULLED BY TRUCK IN TO THE BAY. THANK GOD MY FAMILY WAS OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE NHTSA MUST MANDATE THAT GM FIX ALL SEVERELY CORRODED BRAKE LINES AT EITHER A REDUCED OR NO-CHARGE FEE TO OWNERS. I AM BEING TOLD THAT A LARGE PORTION OF THE $1,200 LABOR FEE WILL BE FOR BENDING OF REPLACEMENT LINES. AT A MINIMUM, GM SHOULD BEAR THE COST OF THE LABOR INVOLVED IN BENDING OF THE LINES AS THEY REFUSE TO PROVIDE PERFORMED LINES TO THEIR DEALERS. IF THE GOVERNMENT (WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE CITIZENS) REALLY CARES ABOUT SAFE VEHICLES - AND WE SEE SOME OF THE 'THINGS BEING RECALLED NOWADAYS" - WHY ON EARTH ISN'T GM BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR RECALLING GM TRUCKS WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY EXAMPLES OF BRAKE LINE FAILURES!

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TOWING MY 12000LB. 5TH WHEEL ON INTERSTATE 95 JUST SOUTH OF PALM COAST FL. I PULLER OVER TO CHECK THE BRAKES ON THE 5TH WHEEL. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, BECAUSE THE BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED THROUGH. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN SNOW. HAD TO FLAT-BED TRUCK TO LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. THEY REPLACED TWO LINES. ON MAY 1, 2014, THE OTHER REMAINING LINES RUSTER THROUGH AND THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER AGAIN. NO WARNING, EITHER TIME. NEVER HAD A BRAKE LINE RUST THROUGH. TRUCK ONLY HAD 67,000 MILES ON IT. LUCKILY, IT DIDN'T QUIT TOWING 12000 IBS. DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY. ..UPDATED 06/26/14 *BF

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES. CLOCK RESETS ITSELF. TURNED KEY TO START, NO DASH LIGHTS, NO NOTHING..I RETRIED AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES, IT STARTED. FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING, NO POWER TO IT I WAS TOLD. FUEL PUMP WAS NEW 2/10/13. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE 4/18/2013. CONNECTIONS WERE CLEANED AND RESET. THIS ALL WORKED FINE UNTIL 3/12/2014. SAME SITUATIONS STARTED AGAIN. BUT AS BEFORE IT WOULD ALWAYS EVENTUALLY START. SAME DIAGNOSIS, FUEL CONTROL MODULE AND A SOME OTHER EXPENSIVE STUFF. 3 WEEKS AGO IT DIDN'T START, WOULD GRIND WITH NO FIRE. FUEL PUMP ISN'T GETTING POWER. I'M DEAD IN THE WATER. ONE OF MY SONS WORKS AS A CARPENTER, WELDER AND SHIPPING SPECIALIST FOR A CLASSIFIED GOVERNMENT FACILITY. THIS FACILITY HAS TOP NOTCH MECHANICS TO DO ALL THEIR MAINTENANCE INCLUDING AUTOS, GOING OUTSIDE OF THE FACILITY IS NOT AN OPTION. THESE MECHANICS HAVE 7 CHEVY 1500S OF VARIOUS YEARS THEY HAVE TO KEEP RUNNING. THEY'VE OFFERED THAT ALL OF THEIR TRUCKS HAD THE SAME ISSUES AS MINE AT ONE TIME. FOR THE FIRST 2 THEY DID THE MODULE REPLACEMENT STUFF JUST LIKE I DID. JUST LIKE MINE THOSE FIXES WENT SOUTH AGAIN. WHAT THEY DID THEN WAS TO CHANGE OUT THE ENTIRE IGNITION MODULE WITH AN IMPROVED VERSION. THEY'VE DONE IT FOR ALL 7 VEHICLES AS THE ISSUES OCCURRED, ALL ARE NOW WORKING WELL, SOME FOR YEARS. I'M TRYING THAT NEXT. THERE MAY BE SOME SECURITY ITEMS TO FIX. IT SEEMS TO SIMPLE TO ME, BUT AS I LOOK AT ALL OF THE INTERFACES OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE IGNITION MODULE, I'M GIVING IT A SHOT. BY THE WAY BATTERY CONNECTIONS ARE GOOD, GROUNDS ARE GOOD, FUSES ARE GOOD, I HAVE A BASIC 2007, MANUAL WINDOWS AND NO REMOTE STUFF. IF THEY'LL LET ME I'LL POST THE RESULTS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BREAKING OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES ON MY 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO PICK UP TRUCK. IF YOU NEED TO PULL A LITTLE HARD ON THE DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR BECAUSE IT HAS SNOW OR ICE ON IT (OR IT IS JUST LOCKED), IT BREAKS OFF. THE HANDLES ARE MADE OF PLASTIC. MY SAFETY CONCERN IS THIS: IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT AND UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR MYSELF, A RESCUE PERSON MAY GRAB THE HANDLE A LITTLE TOO HARD AND IT BREAKS OFF, THUS THEY WILL BE UNABLE TO GET ME OUT OF THE CAR QUICKLY. I HAVE ASK GM IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS AND THEY SAID NO. LIKE I SAID I HAVE REPLACED THE HANDLES 3 TIMES AND THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 50000 MILES ON IT. *TR

2007 CHEVY SILVERADO BRAKE LINES RUSTED OUT. LUCKILY I WASN'T DRIVING. NOTICED WHILE CAR WAS PARKED. OIL ALL OVER THE GROUND. CHEVY CHARGED ME 480 FOR NEW BRAKE LINES. RIDICULOUS. I HAVE HAD CARS 20 YEARS OLD AND LINES NEVER RUSTED. DEALER ADMITTED THEY AREN'T STAINLESS STEEL FROM FACTORY. PEOPLE CAN DIE FROM THIS IF THEY ARE DRIVING, LINES LEAK, THEY HAVE NO BRAKES. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THE EVENING OF MARCH 10 2013 AROUND 1700 HOUR MY BROTHER A SINGLE MAN, WAS FATALLY KILLED IN HIS 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO K1500 PICK-UP TRUCK, APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE FROM HIS HOME ON A PAVED COUNTRY ROAD. HE WAS PR0NOUNCE DEAD @ 1730 HOUR. THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED, YET THE REPORT WILL SHOW THAT HE WAS TRAVELING ON A DOWN HILL SLOPE WHERE HE SWERVED OFF THE PAVEMENT TO THE RIGHT AND THEN OVER CORRECTED BACK ON TO AND CROSSED THE PAVEMENT ON THE LEFT AND THEN BACK ACROSS THE HI WAY ON THE RIGHT IMPACTING A BRIDGE EMBANKMENT OVER TURNING OVER HITTING A TREE, RESTING RIGHT SIDE UP. HIS AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED. WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NOT ANY THING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS MECHANISM, FURTHER THAT THE CRASH WAS NOT HEAD ON. THIS VEHICLE IS TOTALLY DESTROYED. I HAVE IT IN STORAGE FOR ANY ONE INSPECTION. MY BROTHER WAS NOT EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE, I DO BELIEVE, SHOULD THE BAGS HAD DEPLOYED, MY BROTHER WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY. ALSO, FURTHER HIS STEERING FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER INDICATED HE HAD NO POWER STEERING AND FINALLY, THE SKID MARKS ON THE GRAVEL EDGE AND NOT ON THE PAVEMENT, GIVE AN INDICATION, THERE WERE NO POWER ASSISTED BREAKING ALL ADD UP TO THE FACT THE VEHICLE LOST ITS ELECTRIC POWER BY THE KEY SWITCH ACCIDENTLY SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS DOOR LOCKS WILL CYCLE ON AND OFF, EXTERIOR LIGHTS AND DASH DISPLAY WILL GO OFF, WIPERS WILL FREEZE, ALL GAUGES WILL GO ZERO AND TWO OR THREE WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON SUCH AS STABILITRAK, ABS BRAKES OR SERVICE AIR BAGS. LIGHTS ETC WILL GO OFF FOR 5 SECONDS WHICH IS DANGEROUS. I TOOK IT TO STEWART CHEVROLET IN COLMA ON 2/3/14, THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM ON ROAD TESTS BUT WERE UNABLE TO GUARANTEE A FIX IF THEY REPLACED THE BODY CONTROL MODULE OR APPLIED TSB 08-07-30-0216 DOC ID# 2776388. HOW DO I GET THIS SAFETY ISSUE ADDRESSED? *TR
