SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
ALL OF THE ROTORS RUSTED AND HAD SEVERE CORROSION PRIOR TO MY TRUCK HAVING EVEN 8000 MILES. YES THAT # OF MILES IS CORRECT ONLY 8000. I WAS TOLD BY OTHER GENERAL MOTOR TRUCK GMC, TAHOE ETC SIMILAR VEHICLES THAT THIS IS NORMAL DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY OF MATERIALS USED. I HAVE PURCHASED NEW AFTER MARKET ROTORS THAT ARE NOT CORRODING AS THE ORIGINALS DID. I HAVE KEPT MY ORIGINAL ROTORS TO REMIND ME OF GM QUALITY FOR MY NEXT TRUCK PURCHASE WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE A FORD F250 2005. I REALLY THINK THAT GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ROTOR PROBLEM, IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF OUR CLIMATE AS I HAVE LIVED IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS AND HAVE OWNED MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC AND HAVE NEVER SEEN ROTORS DETERIORATE LIKE ON THIS 2000 SILVERADO. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO HOLD CHEVROLET RESPONSIBLE THEY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PURCHASE ROTORS FROM INFERIOR VENDERS AND THEN BLAME THE PROBLEM ON THE CUSTOMERS CLIMATE, I AM A FAR WAYS FROM THE NORTHERN STATES. I STILL HAVE NOT HAD MY TAILGATE CABLES REPLACED AS THE DEALER NEVER HAS THEM IN STOCK. BUT THEY ARE STILL GOOD. WHAT ABOUT MY 1996 CHEVROLET S-10 THOSE CABLES HAVE RUSTED AND BROKE AND ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
2000 CHEVY SILVERADO. A WHILE BACK I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. THEY WOULD ENGAGE AT LOW SPEED AND MAKE IT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. A MECHANIC FRIEND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF CORROSION UNDER THE ANTILOCK SENSORS IN THE FRONT WHEEL. HE CLEANED THIS AREA AND THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY VIOLATION ON BEHAVE OF CHEVY. *NM

WHAT IS DESCRIBED WITH THE BRAKES IN THE RECALL INFORMATION IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME YESTERDAY 08/29/05 ON INTERSTATE 69 HERE IN INDIANA. I ALMOST HIT A SEMI TRUCK IN THE REAR IN. I FINALLY GOT MY TRUCK STOPPED BY THROWING IT INTO PARK AFTER NOTHING ELSE WORKED. THEN I WENT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CHARGED ME $264.00 FOR NEW PADS AND ROTORS ON THE REAR WHEELS. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHY DOES GMC NOT DO A TOTAL RECALL ON THE VEHICLE THEY SALE AND THEY PICK THE STATES WHERE THEY WANT THE RECALL TO TAKE PLACE. IN UTAH WE USE SALT ON THE ROADS AND YES WE DO GET SNOW REMEMBER THE WINTER OLYMPICS OF 2002 THIS IS NOT RIGHT FOR THEM TO PICK AND CHOOSE STATES. IF IT A RECALL ON BRAKES IT SHOULD BE NATION WIDE NOT JUST THE ONE'S THEY FEEL IS RIGHT . THIS PUTS MY FAMILY AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY . I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY PICKUP .. PLEASE HELP. *JB

WHEN TRYING TO STOP AT SLOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL KICKS BACK LIKE THE ABS IS ENGAGED. I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF AND RE-APPLY THE BRAKES TO STOP.THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DT: CONSUMER EXPERIENCES A PROBLEM AT SPEEDS OF TEN MILES AND LESS WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE. THIS FELT LIKE FALSE ACTIVATION OF THE ABS SYSTEM. THERE WERE NO BRAKES WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP NO MATTER HOW HARD BRAKE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED. HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP. CONSUMER HAS NOT HAD ANY REPAIRS OR CORRECTIONS DONE TO ABS AT THIS TIME. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT TAKEN TRUCK TO A DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS OF THIS PROBLEM. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
2000 SILVERADO PICKUP. BRAKES WILL NOT STOP VEHICLE- SLOW IT DOWN AND IT ROLLS TO A STOP. LOW SPEEDS. HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY- ESPECIALLY DURING RAIN OR MUDDY ROAD CONDITIONS. STRONGLY BELIEVED TO BE IMPROPER SENSING OR ADJUSTMENT BY ABS SYSTEM. DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY HAWAII NOT PART OF RECALL. IS THIS A MATTER OF WHAT STATES SENDS IN THE MOST VOTES OR A MATTER OF SAFETY? GM HAS A FAULTY PRODUCT- I AND MY FAMILY ARE ENDANGERED AND I WANT IT FIXED- AS DO OTHERS HERE IN HAWAII. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
JUST JOINING THE MASSESS OF GM TRUCK OWNERS WITH FAULTY HUB ASSEMBLY ABS SENSORS. 2000 CHEVY SILVERADO - 50,000 MILES (PROBLEM STARTED AT APPROX 45,000) LACK OF ABILITY IN SLOW SPEED STOPPING CREATED SOME NEAR MISS SITUATIONS WITH GARAGE DOORS AND PEOPLE/OTHER AUTOS IN PARKING LOTS. TEMPORARY SOLUTION WAS TO PULL THE FUSE, A WHOLE LOT LESS DANGER ON THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY ABS THAN WITH IT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE STALLED. UPON CHECKING THE FUSE BOX THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT FUEL PUMP FUSE HAD BLEW OUT. AS LONG AS THE CONTACT KEPT THE FUEL TANK BELOW A HALF A TANK THIS PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR. THE FUEL PUMP FUSE HAD TO BE REPLACED FOUR TIMES. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WILL SHOW INACCURATE FUEL READINGS. HE PURCHASED TWO FUEL PUMPS TO MAKE SURE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BEFORE HE DID THIS WORK ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP. ONE OF CONTACT'S FRIENDS NOTICED ON THE INTERNET SEVERAL OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. HE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. THE WAY HE DEALS WITH THIS PROBLEM IS TO KEEP FUEL BELOW A HALF A TANK. *AK

I HAVE HAD ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ON MY 2000 CHEV. SILVERADO. THIS MORNING I PULLED INTO MY DRIVE AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE TRUCK. MY GRANDCHILD WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD HE JUMPED OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME. I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE CONSIDERING A RECALL ON THE BRAKES ON THESE VEHICLES - PLEASE, PREVENT FURTHER INCIDENTS BY MAKING GM FIX THIS PROBLEM!!

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
TWO COMPLAINTS, SAME VEHICLE SYSTEM: BRAKES. 1. MY FRONT BRAKES FAILED WHILE DRIVING @20MPH THRU A RESIDENTIAL AREA..SAILED THROUGH A STOP SIGN BUT FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS AT THE INTERSECTION. HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET MINIMAL STOPPING ABILITY. NO FLUID LEAKAGE. MASTER CYLINDER LEVEL WAS STILL AT 'MAX'; TRUCK WAS TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP (PROCARE); FOUND BOTH FRONT BRAKE LINES BLOWN DUE TO SEVERE RUST; REAR BRAKE LINES OUT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL APPEARED FINE. WHY WOULD THE BRAKE LINES RUST THROUGH ??? 2. DURING THIS REPAIR, PROCARE STATED THAT THEY FOUND THE REAR ROTORS SEVERELY RUSTED AND WOULD NEED REPLACED...AGAIN! [SUPPOSEDLY, PROCARE STATED THAT OTHER LARGE GM VEHICLES (SIERRA, TAHOE, TRAILBLAZER, SUBURBAN, ETC) HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH RUSTING ROTORS.] REAR ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE 11/26/2002 @19K MILES DUE TO SEVERE RUST. FRONT ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED 9/5/2003 @26K MILES DUE TO SEVER RUST. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT USED IN ANY EXTREME CONDITIONS NOR IS IT USED FOR A BUSINESS. WHY ARE THE ROTORS RUSTING ?? IS GM USING SUBSTANDARD PARTS? COMPLAINTS TO THE CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER 1-800-222-1020 (AS IN THE PAST) ARE FUTILE AND USELESS AT THIS POINT.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, CHILD SEAT
THE STRAPS ON MY BABY'S CAR SEAT DO NOT TIGHTEN EASILY. REPEATED TIGHTENING OF THE STRAPS LED TO PLASTIC FATIGUE ON THE PIECE THAT CONNECTS TO THE STRAPS. WE HAD TWO OF THESE CAR SEATS WITH MY FIRST CHILD. WITH THE FIRST ONE, DOREL JUVENILE GROUP SOLD ME ANOTHER CAR SEAT AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE. WITH THE SECOND CAR SEAT TO EXPERIENCE THIS TROUBLE, DOREL TOLD ME THAT THEY HADN'T RECEIVED ANY OTHER CLAIMS OF THIS PROBLEM. NOW WITH MY SECOND CHILD, WE MOSTLY HAD TROUBLE WITH THE CAR SEAT WHEN IT WAS IN THE REAR FACING POSITION. DOREL SHOULD AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE CAR SEAT THAT LEADS TO PLASTIC FATIGUE. THIS CAR SEAT IS THE COMFORT RIDE MODEL NO. 22-400-BRD. THERE WASN'T A BOX TO CHECK FOR THIS PARTICULAR CAR SEAT. THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. *SC

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
INTERMITTENT BRAKE SLIPPAGE WAS NOTICED. BRAKES WOULD ENGAGE, THEN ACTUALLY FELT LIKE THEY WEREN'T HOLDING, SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCE. PROBLEM WORSENED QUICKLY AND WITHIN A FEW DAYS HAPPENED ON ALMOST EVERY STOP. REPAIR SHOP CHECKED ROTORS AND PADS, AND DECLARED THEM OKAY. THEY SUSPECTED SOMETHING WITH ABS, FOUND AT LEAST ONE ABS RECALL NOTICE, AND SUGGESTED REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT BOTH FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSORS WERE BAD, AND REPLACED BOTH AT A COST OF NEARLY $600. BRAKES FUNCTION CORRECTLY NOW. VEHICLE IS 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 AND PROBLEM FOLLOWS SYMPTOMS AND REMEDY ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA PE05020.

DT: CONTACT STATES: HE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ABS BRAKING PROBLEM THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED BY GM. HE HAS HAD AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING THE ABS PROBLEM. HE WAS GOING APPROX. 33 MPH WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO APPROX. 11 MPH AND HE DID NOT HAVE ANY BRAKES. HE GLIDED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. GM PAID FOR THE REPAIR COST AND THE RENTAL CAR; BUT HE WANTS THE DAMAGE DONE TO HIS CAR PAID FOR BY GM. HE HAS HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE THIS. HE HAD NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS PUT ON AT 45,000 MILES. *NM THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) FAILED DUE TO CORRODED BRAKE SENSORS. *TT
