SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS MOTOR FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE MOTOR ITSELF COSTS ALMOST $800. MORE THAN 90% OF MY MILES ARE HIGHWAY MILES. AT MY 40,000 MILE BRAKE CHECK, THE TECHNICIAN SAID I WAS ONLY 30% INTO MY ORIGINAL BRAKE PADS. I HAVE HEARD OF NUMEROUS FAILURES OF THIS COMPONENT FROM OTHER SILVERADO OWNERS. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE OF THIS TRUCK AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER. MY BRAKE WARNING SYSTEM IS NOW DISABLED UNTIL THIS ABS MOTOR IS REPLACED.*AK

TIRES
THIS IS THE SECOND TIRE OF THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT THE RUBBER HAS SEPERATED FROM THE CORD ON THIS VECHICLE. THESE WERE NOT ANY OF THE TIRES LISTED ON RECALL BUT HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ME TO DEAL WITH. THE FIRST WAS REPLACED BEFORE THE RECALL WAS MADE ON ANY OF THE TIRES AND THAT IS DOCUMENTED FOR REPLACEMENT. THE SECOND TIRE THAT SEPARATED RUBBER WAS ON 02-03-02. IS IT POSSIBLE THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR TIRE ALSO. I WANTED TO REPORT IT SO THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF DOCUMENTATION IF THERE IS A FAILURE IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THIS TYPE AND MODEL OF TIRE. I HAVE LOST CREDIBILITY FOR SAFETY IN FIRESTONE TIRES AT THIS POINT AND INTEND TO REMOVE THEM ALL FROM MY VEHICLE ASAP. THANK YOU FOR ANY INFORMATION OR ASSISTANCE THAT YOU MAY OFFER.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHILE COMING TO A STOP FROM 10MPH ABS MOTOR CAME ON AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN IGNITION KEY IS SHUT OFF. REMOVED FUSE AND NOW HAVE TWO WARNING LIGHTS. CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED THIS WAS AN UNHEARD OF FAILURE. AFTER READING OTHER REPORTS ON YOUR WEBSITE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE. WITH AS MANY FAILURES AS YOU HAVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPAIRS DONE AT MANUFACTURES EXPENSE.

SEATS
DRIVERS SEAT FAILED TO LOCK INTO POSITION, THIS WAS SECOND OCCURRENCE. WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, DRIVER WAS THRUST AGAINST STEERING WHEEL HITTING CHEST AND FACE AND INJURING WRIST, KNEES HIT THE DASH, SEAT RAN ONTO LEFT FOOT. SEATBELTS DO NOT HELP AS THEY ARE ATTACHED TO THE SEAT. WHEN DRIVING, SEAT SLIDES FORWARD AND BACKWARD FREELY. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE SEAT SLIDES FORWARD, CAUSING THE FOOT TO HIT THE BRAKES HARDER, THEREBY CAUSING AN ABRUPT STOP. LUCKILY MY CHILDREN WHO WERE PASSENGERS AT THE TIME HAD THEIR SEATBELTS ON OR THEY WOULD HAVE HIT THE DASH. MOST VEHICLES NEVER HAVE THIS OCCUR IN THEIR LIFETIME, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A YEAR AND A HALF. FIRST TIME WAS AUGUST OF 2000. COST TO REPLACE IS OVER $500. I FEEL THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN OPERATING, ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPING. THE SEATBELTS DON'T HELP AS THEY ARE ATTACHED TO THE SEAT. MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME IS IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT THESE BRACKETS WILL NOT HOLD!!! I AM A 120 POUND WOMAN, I DO NOT ADJUST THE SEAT OFTEN, I KEEP IT POSITIONED ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK. MY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR COULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THESE RAILINGS TO BREAK. I HAVE CHILDREN WHO WILL BE COMING OF AGE TO DRIVE. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO A LESS EXPERIENCE DRIVER? WHAT IF PASSENGERS DIDN'T HAVE SEATBELTS ON? WHAT IF I WAS HAULING A TRAILER? WHAT OF THE FORCE OF THE ADDED WEIGHT OF THE TRAILER WHEN STOPPING? WHAT OF THE CONTENTS ON THAT TRAILER? WHAT IF I HAVE A MINOR ACCIDENT, SAY A REAR END COLLISION, WILL MY SEAT HOLD ME IN PLACE? I DON'T HAVE FAITH THEY WILL! BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND ON A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE, I BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP OR CHEVY SHOULD REPAIR AT NO COST TO ME. THERE ARE NO AIRBAGS THAT INFLATE FOR PROTECTION, IT IS A SOLID IMPACT. IF SOMEONE FROM CHEVY SHOULD HIT THEIR STEERING WHEEL ONE TIME LIKE I DID, I THINK THEY'D TAKE THIS ISSUE VERY SERIOUSLY. *AK *YH

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I UNDERSTAND FROM READING THAT THESE ABS MODULES GO OUT OFTEN. ANYTHING RELATING TO THE BRAKES WOULD SEEM TO BE A SAFTEY ISSUE. NOT TO MENTION THAT THE PART ITSELF IS OVER $700.00 AT THE DEALER WHICH IS THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN GET IT. THE LOCATION SEEMS TO BE A PRIME PLACE FOR WATER TO LEAK INSIDE THE MODULE. *AK
