2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONSTANTLY PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL AND APPLY EXTREME FORCE TO ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND PARKED. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS NOTICED THAT A BRAKE LINE MAY HAVE PREMATURELY FRACTURED AND THERE WAS A PRESENCE OF LEAKING FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V043000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION OTHER THAN TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BY A DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. ..UPDATED 11/21/16 *BF

UPON HAVING MY TRUCK INSPECTED FOR 2014, IT WAS REVEALED TO ME THAT ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES ON THE TRUCK WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AND NEEDED REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A "COMMON" PROBLEM ON CHEVY TRUCKS. THE COST OF REPAIRING THE BRAKE LINES HAS BEEN ESTIMATED AT A MUCH HIGHER NUMBER THAN THE $500 THAT GMC QUOTES. ON TOP OF THAT I FAIL TO SEE WHY THEY CAN CREATE STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST SYSTEMS, BUT APPARENTLY USE CHEAP METAL FOR THEIR HARD BRAKE LINES. I ACTUALLY HAD THE TRUCK UNDERCOATED AT THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP SO THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE TYPE OF ISSUES. I'M NOT SURE WHO UNDERCOATED THE VEHICLE, BUT I WILL NEVER GET IT DONE BY CHEVROLET AGAIN. I HAVE HAD MUCH OLDER VEHICLES (1982) THAT WENT DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF YEARS BEFORE NEEDING ANY HARD BRAKE REPAIRS. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION INTO THESE VEHICLES UP TO THE YEAR 2003, BUT I THINK THAT THE PROBLEM MUST STILL EXIST IN NEWER VEHICLES SUCH AS MINE. *TR

Mileage: 131,000

I WENT TO MOVE THIS TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, NEARLY HITTING MY CAR WHICH WAS BEHIND ME. I GOT OUT AND OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS VERY LOW, AND THAT BRAKE FLUID HAD SQUIRTED ALL OVER THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE AND WAS ALSO LEAKING FROM A SECOND PLACE JUST UNDER THE MASTER CYLINDER ALONG THE FRAME. THE BRAKE LINES WERE WET AND ARE VERY RUSTY, TO THE POINT OF SCALING. NOW, I CAN'T USE MY TRUCK, WHICH I VERY MUCH NEEDED ON 09/14/2013. THIS IS VERY DISGUSTING!

NOTICED MY BRAKE LINES COMING OUT OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER ARE RUSTING ! THESE LINES ARE NOT NEAR THE ROAD [ CHEMICALS/ ROAD SALTS ] BUT ARE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. MY TRUCK IS LOCATED AND DRIVEN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN A WARM LOCATION [ NOT IN THE MOUNTAINS AND WINTER COLD]. I WILL HAVE TO CHECK THE REST OF THE LINES AND DO SOMETHING BEFORE THEY RUST THRU AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHILE BRAKING HARD FOR A TURN I CAME UP ON QUICKLY, AND AS I APPROACHED SLOWER SPEEDS, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM COMPLETELY RELEASED ALLOWING THE TRUCK TO SURGE FORWARD. I WAS JUST BEGINNING MY TURN AND I BELIEVE THERE WAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF SAND ON THE ROADWAY THAT CAUSED A WHEEL TO SLIDE MOMENTARILY BUT ALL THE BRAKES RELEASED IN A MANNER THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF THERE WAS A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE TRUCK MOVED FORWARD FOR A FULL 2 SECONDS PRIOR TO THE BRAKES RE-ENGAGING. THE BRAKES DID NOT IMMEDIATELY REAPPLY AS YOU WOULD EXPECT A PROPERLY WORKING SYSTEM TO BEHAVE. IT WASN'T THE RAPID APPLICATION YOU GET LIKE WHEN YOUR ON ICE. THE CONDITION HAS NOT REPEATED ITSELF TO DATE ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT TRIED TO RECREATE THE SAME CONDITIONS EITHER. *TR

REFER TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V379000. WHICH STATES: SUMMARY: CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN ENVIRONMENTALLY CORROSIVE AREAS. THIS RECALL WILL BE LAUNCHED IN THE "SALT BELT" STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ONLY. CONSEQUENCE: THIS CAN CAUSE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING LOW-SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH THIS IS ACKNOWLEDGED IN VEHICLE MODEL YEAR 1999-2002 CHEVY SILVERADOS, AND WAS ISSUED IN 2005, HOWEVER, MY 2005 SILVERADO WITH 25000 MILES HAS THE SAME ISSUE, AND AN INVESTIGATION HAS DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE THAT HAD FORCED THIS RECALL IS NOT RESOLVED AND CARRIES THROUGH ADDITIONAL MODEL YEARS, THROUGH AT LEAST 2006. THIS ISSUE RESULTS IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION, AND CHEVROLET MUST EXTEND THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE LATER MODEL TRUCKS THAT FALL WITHIN THIS RECALL. *TR

Mileage: 24,500

ABS BRAKE PROBLEM 2005 CHEVY TRUCK DOSE NOT ALWAYS STOP. SOMETIMES ROLLS UP TO 15 FEET PAST STOP SIGNS AND CROSSWALKS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 1999 TO 2002 TRUCKS.

AT LOW SPEEDS (FROM 5MPH TO 0MPH), THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO ENGAGES ON DRY PAVEMENT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR.

PURCHASED 2005 BRAND NEW FROM DEALER. I AM FAMILIAR WITH WHAT TO DO TO BREAK-IN A NEW VEHICLE. I OCCASIONALLY CROSS A MOUNTAIN, AND WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES LIGHTLY, THEY IMMEDIATELY START TO PULSATE VERY NOTICEABLY. TO GET THEM TO STOP PULSATING, I MUST APPLY THE BRAKES FAIRLY HARD. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON HILLS/MOUNTAINS. I WAS HOPING THAT THIS WOULD WORK ITSELF OUT WITH TIME. I PRESENTLY HAVE 21,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER SINCE NEW AND IT HAS NEVER SEEN WINTER HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA. I ROTATE THE TIRES EVERY 5,000 MILES AND THAT HASN'T MADE ANY DIFFERENCE.

ON A 2005 TRUCK WITH 20,000 MILES ON AND IT'S A BABIED TRUCK THE BRAKE ROTORS APPEAR WARPED AS IT HAS A WAVE LIKE BRAKING. EVEN WORSE WHEN BRAKING ON A SURFACE WITH POOR CONTACT, SANDY, SAND ON CONCRETE OR BLACKOP, WET CEMENT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES COMPLETELY RELEASE AND THE TRUCK JUMPS FORWARD LIKE NO BRAKES ARE APPLIED 15 FT. OR SO. I'D MUCH RATHER HAVE NO ANTI-LOCKS BECAUSE AT LEAST I CAN USE A STABBING MOTION IF NEEDED. THESE BRAKES DON'T WORK LIKE NORMAL ANTI-LOCKS. IT FULLY RELEASES AND THERE'S TOO MUCH LAG TIME BEFORE THEY RESUME BRAKING. I CAN LIVE WITH THE SPEEDOMETER READING WRONG AT TIMES, THE KNOCK IN THE STEERING COLUMN WAS REPAIRED, EVEN THE WARPED ROTORS THAT STARTED AT 12,000 MILES BUT THESE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SPANNING SEVERAL YEARS. *TR
