Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Abs brakes engage each time I come to a slow stop( I.e. Pulling up to a stop sign or red light) extending my stopping distance. Dealer states that the ABS speed sensors and front hubs must be replaced but cannot tell me what is wrong. The ABS warning light does not come on although according to the dealer( kelly Chevrolet, butler, pa) the system is malfunctioning.”
NHTSA complaint #10096530, filed 2004-10, 99,000 miles“I have a 2000 chevy Silverado 1500, about 4 months ago the problem started, when I am traveling at or above 40 MPH the truck vibrates. You can feel this vibration thru the steering wheel and also when the 4 wheel drive is on and I turn the wheel to park the wheels seem as if they are resisting almost as if the whole wheel is just going to break this started last winter.”
NHTSA complaint #10086841, filed 2004-08, 94,000 miles“Was driving my 2000 1500 and had brake failure. Upon inspection not only did I find extensive rust on lines but my rear shackles are rotting through and some places on the frame. Started to think there no way this should not be happening to this truck. Only 140000 miles this has got to be a case of poor quality. Not only is this a safety issue and should be checked on but it is an expensive fix. I did slide off the road but I came to a safe stop in a field luckily my e-brake worked and nobody else was around. Could you please investigate this and take care of it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10501320, filed 2013-03, 140,242 miles“Vehicle is 2000 chevy Silverado 4 wheel drive with approx 50k miles. At slow (under 15 MPH) speed coming to a stop driver side front ABS engaged and almost hit car in front. At first I thought maybe wet road but it nows does it every morning when coming to a stop at the end of my road dealer said I need to replace front wheel bearing. Have an appointment for first week in sept. And will have all parts saved.”
NHTSA complaint #10036607, filed 2003-08, 49,994 miles“2000 chevy Silverado z-71, 4wd, v-8 extended cab 31,000 miles. I purchased the vehicle used on june 24, 2004. In september, 2004 I noticed that the ABS brake system would activate as I slowed (< 10 MPH) to a stop. This issue began intermittantly but worsened as I continued to drive the vehicle. By jan, 2005, the ABS would activate every time I applied the brakes at slow speeds (< 10 MPH). No trouble lights came on. I did not have any accidents with this issue but had one very close call in a parking lot. This incident caused m to investigate and fix the problem. …”
