TRAVELING THROUGH INTERSECTION AND MAKING LEFT HAND TURN TO GO IN EAST DIRECTION. MY VEHICLE'S BRAKES CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT ALL(!) THE BRAKES LINES WERE RUSTED THROUGH AND THAT MY BRAKE FLUID LEAKED OUT. AND NOW ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. NOT ONE, NOT TWO - ALL! THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT AND NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN A GM PRODUCT WITH A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WOULD SEEM TO BE A GM TRUCK THAT CAN'T STOP!

WHEN I GOT IN THE TRUCK TO GO TO WORK, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ALONG WITH THE DIC NOTIFICATION WHERE ON. WITH A OSB II READER, GOT A CODE OR "B0104 FRONT RIGHT SENOR REPLACE". REPLACED THE SENOR AT OWNERS EXPENSE. WITH NEW PART INSTALLED THE WARNING LIGHT AND DIC MESSAGE CLEARED. *TR

DURING SHOWING THE VEHICLE FOR RESALE, THE BRAKE LINES BROKE AND LEAKED AND THERE WAS NO BRAKING POWER TO STOP VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY THIS TOOK PLACE IN A PARKING LOT THEREFORE WE WERE ABLE TO CONTROL THE SITUATION. HOWEVER WE WERE ABOUT TO ENTER A MAJOR ROADWAY AT 5PM RUSH WEEKDAY RUSH HOUR WHERE A POTENTIAL SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES FAILED.

FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ON VEHICLE CAME ON WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR AND REPAIR SHOP SAID THE FRONT SENSORS FOR NO APPARENT REASON HAD GONE DEFECTIVE DISABLING THE AIR BAGS ON VEHICLE. SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD PARTS WERE ONLY AVAILABLE FROM A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. AFTER REPAIR I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS OF CHEVROLET VEHICLES HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE OF DISABLED AIR BAGS WHEN THIS PART GOES DEFECTIVE FOR NO REASON. *TR

I BEGAN TO HAVE TROUBLE WITH MY LIGHT BULBS. WHEN I TRIED TO CHANGE BULB I FOUND EVIDENCE OF POOR CONNECTION WITH THE PLASTIC OF THE BULB AND OF THE SOCKET SOMEWHAT BURNED. THE FILAMENTS OF THE BULBS WERE OK. A FRIEND OF MINE ADVISED ME TO COAT THE CONNECTION WITH SILICONE GREASE. RECENTLY A VIRGINIA STATE TROOPER STOPPED ME FOR TWO BULBS NOT FUNCTIONING. SAME PROBLEM. LUCKILY HE WAITED WHILE I REMOVED THE ASSEMBLY AND, YES, THE BULBS WERE FINE BUT NOT MAKING GOOD CONTACT. HE EXPLAINED THAT HE ALSO HAS A CHEVROLET TRUCK AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. A FORMER EMPLOYEE OF GM IN AIKEN GA TOLD ME THAT GM WAS SUPPOSED TO APPLY THIS GREASE TO ELECTRICAL CONTACTS BUT FAILED TO DO SO. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM OR THE TROOPER WOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED ME! *TR

BRAKE ROTORS ARE DEEPLY PITTED--NOT FROM RUST--WAS UNAWARE OF THE CONDITION UNTIL I REPLACED BRAKE PADS @84000 MILES. *TR
