“Under a normal stop in city driving under dry conditions my ABS brakes engages and has almost caused me not to stop behind other cars. After contacting chevy dealer and chevy they the recall for the ABS sensor does not apply to my state (but it does other states). My mechanic cleaned and verified. Problem solved at my expense.”
NHTSA complaint #10143597, filed 2005-11, 74,500 miles“When attempting to brake, the brake pedal went completely to the floor, causing me to swerve into the other lane. No warning lights, no soft pedal..........nothing. Had the truck towed to a repair shop. All the brake lines were severely rusted and had to be replaced at a cost of nine hundred eighty dollars. The shop owner stated that this is a common problem with Chevrolet trucks from 1999 to 2004 and that he averages about one a week. The new lines were made of stainless steel, not the inferior grade metal lines that Chevrolet installed on the truck when manufactured. …”
NHTSA complaint #10548585, filed 2013-10, 99,000 miles“I am being told by both the dealer where I purchased my truck and an independent garage I trust, that I need to replace my brake rotors as they are rusted and pitted to the point of not functioning as designed and could eventually be dangerous as they deteriorate. The dealer is not saying that but is recommending replacement as my responsibility even though this truck is a 2000 with only 40,546 miles. …”
NHTSA complaint #10139206, filed 2005-10“I can not stop as the anti-lock brake sensors are malfuctioning. The Chevrolet dealer says it's from too much salt on the roads causing excessive rust which in turn causes the sensors to malfunction. The vehicle is unfit to drive as is. Maybe a lawsuit is what they need to address the issue. I brought it to my local garage. Their computer read that when the vehicle was stopped all four ABS sensors read 3 MPH? This is a very dangerous situation for anyone driving such a vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10123882, filed 2005-06“Hydraulic brake system the brakes are horrible, I have even took the truck to be worked on several times and they still are no better. When slowing down or stopping the pedal will go to the floor and will not slow down much. I have to brake at least 2 blocks before coming to a complete stop. I would not be able to stop at an accident, resulting in taking the ditch if need be. My family does not travel in the truck because of this reason. I have to replace tires every year and replace brake pads and shoes every 6 months or so.”
