WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY BRAKES FAILED. THE BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED AND PITTED. AN OBVIOUS DESIGN ERROR, A COMPONENT THAT CAN FAIL IN AN INSTANT RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNSTOPPABLE SHOULD BE MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL. CHEAP AND LIGHTWEIGHT MAY BE OK FOR A FENDER IT MAKES NO SENSE FOR A BRAKE LINE. *TR

INCIDENT #1 ABS BRAKES FAILED COMING TO A STOP FROM INTERSTATE OFF RAMP GOING DOWN A HILL. APPLIED BRAKES AND WHEN VEH SPEED GOT BELOW 10MPH BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED BACK AGAINST MY FOOT CAUSING VEHICLE TO COME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOUR LINE HIGHWAY. NOTE: NO TRAFFIC LIGHTS AT THIS INTERSECTION AND VEHICLE SPPEED LIMIT WAS 55 MPH FOR ON HIGHWAY USERS. THAT WAS SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS TRUCK. INCIDENT #2 TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT APPROX 80,000 MILES. GM DID COVER THE REPAIRS AFTER I PAID GOOD WILLED DEDUCTABLE ONLY SO THAT I WOULD HAVE VALID WARRANTY ON REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION FOR FUTURE FAILURE. DEALER STATED THAT FIRST AND REVERSE CLUTCHES HAD WELDED THEMSELVES TOGETH

NEW TRUCK CHEVROLET C5500 HAS HAD A VIBRATION SINCE PURCHASE. GM REFUSES TO FIX. HAS CAUSED THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR TO BE REPLACED. THIS VIBRATION IS GETTING WORSE AND IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO PROPERLY SEE OUT OF THE MIRROR AND MAKE SAFE LANE CHANGES. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE ARE MORE TRUCKS LIKE THIS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *LA
