What owners report
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 HD. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS SEVERE CORROSION TO THE BRAKE AND FUEL LINES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. A LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE LAST WEEK I WENT TO BRAKE FOR AN EXIT ONLY TO FIND THAT I HAD NO BRAKES. IT TURNS OUT MY BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND MY BRAKE FLUID HAD BEEN DRAINING MY WHOLE TRIP DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MANAGE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND PARK MY VEHICLE AND CALL AAA TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED. I AM NOW FINDING OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH GMC OLDER TRUCKS. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. LIVES ARE AT RISK. *TR
3 EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKE OFF MANIFOLD. *TR
THE BRAKE LINES ON MY 02 SILVERADO BLEW OUT WHILE MOVING OUR CAMPER TRAILER INTO OUR BACK YARD FOR STORAGE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND I WAS WATCHING HER BACKING UP. SHE YELLED OUT TO ME THE "BRAKES FEEL FUNNY", WE WERE ALMOST DONE AND UNHOOKED THE TRAILER. I MOVED THE TRUCK TO THE STREET AND NOTICED THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP EASILY. I NOTICED A BIG WET SPOT UNDER THE CAB, CHECKED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEVEL, EMPTY. HAD IT TOWED (AAA) TO MY MECHANIC, PAID $1,600.00 TO HAVE THE STEEL BRAKE LINES AND FLEX HOSES REPLACED. IF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CAMPER WHEN THIS OCCURRED, COULD HAVE BEEN A BIG ACCIDENT OR MORE. I HAVE OVER 32 YEARS OF FIRE/ EMS
APPLIED BRAKE, PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, NO BRAKES. HAD TO RUN INTO DITCH TO AVOID ACCIDENT. FOUND BRAKE LINE RUSTED THROUGH. HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE LINE. NO WARNING LIGHT. INSPECT WHOLE BRAKE LINE. ALL ARE SEVERELY RUSTED., FOUND SEEPAGE NEAR FRONT FROM BRAKE LINE. BRAKE RESERVOIR WAS OVER 1/2 EMPTY WITH NO WARNING LIGHT. *TR
