I own a 2004 silverado 2500HD it has less than 51k my brakes are now spongy I contacted chevy and they said there is no recall on this problem
meanwhile I'm staring at a website that states all the recalls, I was also sent a letter sometime in 2005 but because I did not have a problem at the time I did not respond to it.
now my brakes are failing and they act as if they never sent me a notice, other than some noise in the steering wheel ,crackling from the rear springs,wind hitting the windshield
and very loud inside the cab with the windows up,tough making sharp turns at speeds less than
10 MPH,instrument light failure the spongy brakes and the weak parking brake, replacing all brake pads and rotors about a year after purchase of vehicle,it is still running with all this issues. does this make it reliable?
the scariest thing is the brakes everything else I can live with
