Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When going at slow speed 10mph or less. The front anti lock breaks kick in and you feel as if it will not stop. This happens all the time. There is a safety bulletin out about this. When I asked chevy what they would do about it I was told nothing. I payed to have it fixed. This was an on going issue not a one time deal.”
NHTSA complaint #10820153, filed 2016-01, 80,000 miles“Brake pedal went to floor. Found brake lines heavily rusted after only 6 years old. Left rear brake line blew, causing dangerously slow braking in rush hour. Narrowly avoided several crashes until I got home, crawled under it to find the puddle of brake fluid. I've have 20year old cars with better brake lines.”
NHTSA complaint #10505613, filed 2013-04, 110,000 miles“The ABS comes on at speeds of 7mph and 3 MPH on my 2007 chevy silverado. I live in pennsylvania which is considered the snow belt in the north east, I had a 2000 silverado and there was a recall on the ABS brake system and GM says there is no recall on my trucks ABS and the problem is the same as the 2000 which was a recall in 2005.”
NHTSA complaint #10372280, filed 2010-12, 60,000 miles“While driving along roadway and approaching intersection I applied the brakes normally to slow down and stop my truck. The brake pedal went to the floor. The truck did stop and I saw fluid under the truck. I drove carefully to the service station and had the entire brake system inspected. The mechanic determined all the brake lines were severely rusted and would need replacement. This was accomplished at the cost of $2,300.00 to me.”
NHTSA complaint #10620935, filed 2014-08, 75,053 miles“Brake lines are starting to rust and blow. This should not be doing this at 80,00 miles. Truck is very rarely driven in the snow. And salt. I tow alot and am afraid they will blow when towing my camper with my kids in the truck”
