What owners report
WAS LOOKING TO PARK IN A SUPER MARKET AND WHEN I SLOWED TO TURN IN AND PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL IT VIBRATED AND ACTUALLY ATTEMPTED TO SPEED UP SLIGHTLY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE STAINLESS STEEL ROTORS HAD RUST ON THEM AND THE SENSOR WASN'T WORKING RIGHT. POLISHED THEM AND IT WAS GOOD FOR A YEAR OR SO. THE NEXT THING ABOUT A YEAR LATER I GOT A RECALL FOR THE SAME THING FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THEY HAD TO DO THE SAME PROCESS. THEY DID REIMBURSE ME FROM THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. *TR
I OWN A 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO EXTENDED CAB 4X4, THERE WAS A RECALL AROUND 2005 FOR THE ABS ENGAGING AT SLOW SPEEDS. THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETED IN 2006. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, THE ABS STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. THE DEALER SAID THEY ALREADY DID THE RECALL SERVICE SO I NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS THIS TIME. I BELIEVE THAT IF THE ORIGINAL RECALL SERVICE DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM, THAT IT SHOULD BE FIXED AGAIN. TRUCK HAS AROUND 104,000 MILES ON IT. THE ABS STARTED WORKING IMPROPERLY AT ABOUT 100,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD NO CRASHES YET BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR
MY DAUGHTER MISSED A CURVE IN HEAVY FOG AND HIT A TREE HEAD ON AT ABOUT 40-45 MPH. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE IMPACT WAS A FEW INCHES LEFT OF CENTER AND WAS SUCH THAT IT MOVED THE ENGINE BLOCK BACK INTO THE CAB OF THE PICKUP. IT SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.
INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN SHAFT - CONSTANT CLUNKING NOISE. HAD SERVICED AT 21K MILES AND NOW BAD AGAIN AT 43K MILES. SUPPOSEDLY SAFE PER DEALER, JUST AN ANNOYANCE. BUT IT COULD DUPLICATE/MASK A SIMILAR CLUNKING NOISE WHICH COULD BE SUSPENSION RELATED AND UNSAFE. A DRIVER WOULD ASSUME IT WAS THE STEERING ISSUE BUT IN REALITY IT MAY NOT BE, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO LOSS OF CONTROL/ACCIDENT. *NM
2001 CHEVY P/U. PREVIOUS RECALL REGARDING ANTILOCK BREAKING SYSTEM ENGAGING ON DRY PAYMENT IS RE-OCCURING AFTER INITIAL VEHICLE REPAIR. IN MY OPINNION THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. DEALER PROBABLY DID MINIMAL REPAIR (TEMPORARY FIX) WHICH DID NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY. *NM
