Mileage: 72,564

JUST DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING AS WELL AS NORMAL WHEN APPLYING THEM. LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASHBOARD INDICATING BRAKE PROBLEM. WHEN I ARRIVED AT HOME CHECKED FLUID AND WAS OUT OF BRAKE FLUID. STARTED LOOKING FOR THE PROBLEM AND FOUND A BROKEN BRAKE LINE BADLY CORRODED. LOOKING AT THE REST OF THE LINES THEY ARE ALL IN A BAD WAY. I'M A PLUMBER AND HAVE WORKED WITH STAINLESS STEEL TUBING MY EXHAUST IS ORIGINAL NEVER HAD A PROBLEM OR LEAK. IT SEEMS STRANGE TO INSTALL SUCH A GREAT EXHAUST SYSTEM AND NOT THE SAME ON A LITTLE MORE IMPORTANT SYSTEM. *TR

ON FRIDAY SEPT. 15, I WAS DRIVING MY 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WHEN I EXPERIENCED BRAKE LINE RUPTURE FROM TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. I WAS MERELY ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN FOR A CURVE AND I DID 'DYNAMITE' THE BRAKES. I APPLIED NORMAL PRESSURE AND SUDDENLY, THE PEDAL BEGAN TO TRAVEL TOWARDS THE FLOOR AND I COULD FEEL THE VEHICLE BECOMING HARDER TO SLOW. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE SUFFERING AN ACCIDENT. AFTER I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SAW LEAKING BRAKE FLUID, I INSPECTED THE AREA AND FOUND SEVERAL LOCATIONS ON THE BRAKE LINE WHERE CORROSION HAD SEVERELY DAMAGED THE LINES, AS WELL AS TWO SMALL HOLES IN TWO DIFFERENT LINES. WHEN I GOT HOME, I PERFORMED A SEARCH OF THE PROBLEM ON MY COMPUTER AND FOUND LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE!! THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT GM SHOULD ADDRESS, OR BE FORCED TO ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY!! IF NOT, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURY/LOSS OF LIFE DUE TO SUB-STANDARD MATERIALS USED IN THEIR BRAKING SYSTEM. *TR

DRIVING MY 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 DOWN THE ROAD, WENT TO BRAKE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING, I NARROWLY AVOIDED HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ,CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND INJURY. LIMPED HOME AND FOUND RUSTED THRU BRAKE LINES JUST OUTSIDE OF DRIVER SIDE FRAME. TRUCK HAS JUST TURNED 100,000 MILES, BUT THE UNDERCARRIAGE LOOKS MUCH OLDER...SEVERE CORROSION AND RUST...NOT WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FOR A $45,000 TRUCK. NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER FAILURES I HAVE INCURRED...WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVY AGAIN. NHTSA, YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED! *TR

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS OUTLINED IN THE RECALLS/SERVICE BULLETINS: NHTSA0 6V066000, AND NHTSA 05V379000. MY VEHICLE IS A 1999 CHEVY K2500 THAT ISN'T LISTED IN THE RECALL LIST. THE SPEED SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS 1-4 TIMES PER YEAR (USUALLY FROM DEC THROUGH MAR). THE FIRST TIME I HAD IT REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT ON SUBSEQUENT FAILURES DID THE REPAIR MYSELF. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE TAILGATE CABLES MORE THAN ONCE, AND CURRENTLY HAVE A BROKEN ONE AGAIN. *TR

MY 1999 CHEVY TRUCK WAS RECALLED FOR A FAULTY SPEED SENSOR THAT CAUSED THE ABS TO GO OFF WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. I TOOK IT IN FOR THE REPAIR AND THEY CLEANED THE SENSOR. EVERYTHING WAS FINE. TWO WEEKS AGO THE SAME THING STARTED TO HAPPEN, YOU GET ALMOST TO A STOP AND YOU ALL OF THE SUDDEN LOOSE ALL YOUR BRAKING POWER. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH EVERYTHING I HAD AND NOTHING. I PROBABLY DID EVEN MORE DAMAGE TO MY BRAKE SYSTEM BY PUSHING SO HARD TRYING TO STOP. I CAME WITHIN ABOUT A HALF AN INCH FROM HITTING THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED OTHER TIMES LUCKILY NOT WITH SUCH CLOSE CALLS. CHEVY HAS INFORMED ME THAT SINCE I HAVE PUT ON 30,000 MILES SINCE THE RECALL THE WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT HAD I HAD ALL MY SERVICE AND REPAIR WORK THERE THEY WOULD HAVE FIXED IT AGAIN FOR ME. THIS SHOWS ME THE RECALL WAS NOT ABOUT SAFETY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THEIR VEHICLES IT IS ABOUT THEIR BOTTOM LINE. PERIOD. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CHEVY GMC TRUCKS AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN GET THE RECALL YET. ALL IT WILL TAKE IS ONE TIME FOR YOUR BRAKES NOT TO WORK YOU ROLL INTO AND INTERSECTION AND YOUR WHOLE FAMILY GETS KILLED BECAUSE CHEVY IS TOO CHEAP TO STAND BEHIND OR FIX THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS THE RECALL ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN #: 05V379000 BUT BECAUSE I LIVE IN COLORADO, THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL.
