2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Complaints

DT: IN JANUARY 2005 THE CONSUMER'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AT 30 MPH WHEN THE BRAKES AND STEERING LOCKED UP. IN JANUARY 2005 THERE WAS A LIGHT SNOW . THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THAT THE BRAKES WERE CORRODED. THE VEHICLE HAD A LITTLE UNDER 20,000 MILES ON IT. ON AUGUST 31, 2005 THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND IT WAS WET OUTSIDE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS NO FOR WARNING. *AK *MR

I HAD THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM WITH MY 1999 SILVERADO AS WELL: WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 SILVERADO DOWN RT. 128 IN MA. AT RATE OF SPEED OF ABOUT 45 MPH THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME APPROXIMATELY 75 FEET (?) STOPPED SUDDENLY. THERE WAS PLENTY OF DISTANCE TO STOP. IF I WAS DRIVING MY 1968 DODGE DART WITH 1 BRAKE AND BALD TIRES I COULD HAVE STOPPED. HOWEVER, WHILE DRIVING THE 2004 MODERN COMPUTER CONTROLLED VEHICLE, THE TRUCK FAILED TO STOP AND I REAR-ENDED THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME. THE AIR BAG WAS NOT DEPLOYED BECAUSE OF THE SLOW RATE OF SPEED. THE REASON THE TRUCK FAILED IS BECAUSE ABS WOULD NOT STOP THE TIRES BECAUSE THE ROAD WAS ROUGH LIKE A WASH BOARD. THE TRUCK JUST KEPT ROLLING FORWARD AT A SLOW RATE AND I COULD NOT TURN OFF DUE TO THE GUARDRAIL AND TRAFFIC TO MY RIGHT. I WATCHED MY NEW TRUCK SLOWLY HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. THEY WERE DRIVING A NISSAN THAT JUST GOT A SCRATCH ON IT. MY CHEVY SILVERADO HEAVY DUTY 2500 FELL APART ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF BODY PARTS WERE ON THE GROUND. I NOW HAVE A GIANT INSURANCE RATE THAT I AM DISPUTING. THERE HAS TO BE A STOP TO THESE ABS. HOW DID I MAKE IT 38 YEARS WITHOUT HELMETS AND ABS. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS. *JB
