SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE BRAKES OVERHEATED AND THEY SMOKED WHEN DRIVING ON LONG STEEP GRADES, ALSO WHEN DOWN SHIFTING, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SLOW OR STOP. THE BRAKES WERE NOT ADEQUATE FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED, THE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED, THE REAR BRAKE DRUMS WERE CLEANED, AND THE BRAKE SHOES WERE ADJUSTED. (THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM) THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THESE PROBLEMS. THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE SUGGESTED THE CONSUMER PURCHASE A 2001 MODEL WHICH HAD THE REVISED BRAKING SYSTEM. *NLM *SCC *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY BRAKES FAILED AFTER ACCELERATING FROM BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THE LIGHT TURNED YELLOW BEFORE WE WERE INTO THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED, SPEED WAS LESS THAN 10 MPH. I ATTEMPTED TO STOP ON A BUMPY DRY SURFACE WHILE BRAKING THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS BRAKES WERE WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS SET BY MANUFACTURE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS DEALING WITH THE ABS SYSTEM ON THE SILVERADO. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *NLM

PARKING BRAKE
PARKING BRAKE (EMERGENCY BRAKE) ON MY 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE. HAVE DISCOVERED THROUGH INTERNET WEB SITES THAT IT IS NOT JUST MY VEHICLE, BUT THOUSANDS HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM. DISCUSSED WITH THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE POOR/FAULTY DESIGN BUT WILL NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM UNLESS, OF COURSE, I WANT TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM BY IT NOT BEING ABLE TO HOLD THE VEHICLE. FEEL NHTSA SHOULD FORCE GM TO INSPECT AND FIX ANY THAT HAVE A PROBLEM BEFORE THEY END UP GETTING SUED BECAUSE SOMEONE'S CHILD GOT RUN OVER BY A ROLLING VEHICLE. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR DEATHS OR INJURIES TO OCCUR BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT IT!*JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
WHILE TRAVELING TO WORK ON A ICY ROAD, MY ACCELERATOR STUCK AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. IT THEN RELEASED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD WHERE IT STUCK AGAIN. I LOST CONTROL OF THE PICKUP AND SLID INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC WHERE I HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION. THE ACCELERATOR STICKING WAS THE CAUSE OF THE WRECK AND I BELIEVE THAT CHEVY IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. *JB
