“Traveling at 65 MPH brakes all of a sudden the brakes were applied w/o applying them loss of steering control etc. Evaluating this problem ii saw that the brake pedal was going down to the floor, so I pulled up on it with my foot and the brakes released but steering control did not resume. I got off at the next exit and very slowly made my way on home.

NHTSA complaint #10460608, filed 2012-06, 141,311 miles“We have a 2001 chevy 2500 hd truck and have also had issues with a faulty fuel gauge where it goes from showing the fuel level to dropping down and the low fuel sensor showing. We also have the gas pedal that sticks. Several of our friends have owned chevys at some point and have had similar issues. These should definitely be recalled. We have lived with these issues for a couple of years. We shouldn't have to pay several hundred dollars to repair issues that several chevy owners are all experiencing.”
