SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS NO BRAKE POWER. DRIVER MUST APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN OR TO STOP. *AK THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT, BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN FUSE FOR ANTILOCK BRAKES WAS REMOVED. *LA

STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
WHILE DRIVING, MY TAILGATE TOOK IT UPON ITSELF TO LEAP OFF THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE NEARLY HITTING A VEHICLE DRIVING NEXT TO ME, AS IT SWUNG AROUND THE SIDE BY THE ONLY REMAINING CABLE AND CAUSING A SUDDEN BRAKING ACTION FROM THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME WHICH ALMOST CAUSED IT GET REAR ENDED BY THE 4X4 BEHIND IT. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
VEHICLE SEEMS TO GO INTO 4-WHEEL DRIVE BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING . THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES ALREADY. I WANT TO SWITCH DEALERS BUT GM TOLD ME NO I HAVE TO STAY WITH THE DEALER WHO WORKED ON THE VEHICLE. AS THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN CONSIDERABLY CAUSING THE SEAT BELT TO LOCK AND HOLD ME BACK. ALSO AT TIMES THE VEHICLE JUST SLOWS DOWN WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CHECK 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE PUSH BUTTONS ON THE PANEL DO NOT OPERATE. (THE LIGHTS GO OUT) I ALSO THINK THIS HAS CAUSED MY ODOMETER TO FAST FORWARD. IT TELLS ME NOW THAT I HAVE 29900 MILES ON THE TRUCK . I HAVE ALL RECORDS AND NEED HELP. I TRAVEL TO WORK 8 TIMES A MONTH AND ROUND TRIP IS 114 MILES THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK OUT . CAN THEY CHECK THE ELECTRONICS AND SEE ACTUAL MILES FROM THE COMPUTER. *JB

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
MY 2003 EXTENDED CAB TRUCK HAS THE SEAT BELT BUILT INTO THE SEAT. I COMPLAINED THAT IT SQUEAKED SO THEY ORDERED A NEW BELT ASSEMBLY, BUT WHEN THEY WENT TO REPLACE IT THEY FOUND THE SEAT FRAME WAS BROKEN. THEY ORDERED A NEW ON BUT WHEN I TALKED TO THEM THEY SAID IT IS SOMETHING THEY SEE A LOT BECAUSE OF OVER TORQUE AT THE FACTORY. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS MY WEARING THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT HAVE HELPED IN AN ACCIDDENT IF THE FRAME WAS ALREADY BROKEN.*AK

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT, POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS
I BOUGHT A 2002 CHEVY SILVERADO IN OCT 2001. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER AND DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD THE LEFT REAR DIFFERENTAL AXLES SEALS AND BRAKE PADS REPLACED 4 TIMES AND THE RIGHT REAR SEAL AND BRAKE PADS ONCE. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 15,682 MILES , SECOND TIME AT 26,252, THIRD TIME AT 32,727 AND THE FOURTH TIME AT 65,624. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK FOR THE THIRD TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE SEALS WERE FINE AND THAT I PROBABLY NEEDED THE PVC VALUE, FUEL AND AIR FILTERS CHANGED. THEY CHANGED EVERYTHING AND CHARGED ME FOR THE WORK. WITHIN 3 WEEKS I WENT TO ANOTHER CHEVY DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE AXLES DID NEED REPLACING. THEY DID THE WORK THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE 3 WEEKS EARLIER. WHEN I WENT TO THE FIRST DEALER ABOUT BEING REIMBURSED FOR WORK THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE I GOT BLOWN OFF. I NOW HAVE PAID OVER $500 FOR A REOCCIRING PROBLEM WHICH SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT. I HAVE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE TALKED TO ME I FEEL THAT I AM GETTING NOWHERE. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE? ME HAVING AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY BRAKES GET FLUID LEAKED ON THEM . I TRAILER MY HORSE WITH THIS TRUCK AND GOD FORBID ANYTHING HAPPEN WHEN I AM TRAILERING. THEN ARE THEY GOING TO LISTEN AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?*AK
