2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Complaints

BRAKE LINES HAD HOLES IN THEM CAUSED BY CORROSION,FUEL LINE ALSO. NOTICED PROBLEM BEFORE ANYTHING SERIOUS HAPPENED. COST OVER 1000.00 TO REPLACE BRAKE AND FUEL LINES. *TR

AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I STOPPED JUST IN TIME TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. TOOK IT TO A DEALER LATER THAT DAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED THROUGH AND WOULD COST OVER $700 TO REPAIR. *TR

STARTED THE VEHICLE FASTEN SEAT BELT EXITED THE CARPORT STARTED TO LEAVE MY YARD HAD TO STOP A GO BACK IN HOUSE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF REMOVED THE KEY WENT BACK IN THE HOUSE CAME BACK GOT IN THE VEHICLE FASTEN SEAT BELT STARTED THE VEHICLE PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHED SEVERAL TIME WE OUT AND CAME BACK AND WILL NOT GO BACK OUT IT WILL FLASH SEVERAL TIME GO OUT AND COME BACK ON AND STAY. *TR

SAW WET SPOT UNDER DRIVER'S SIDE OF TRUCK, JUST BEHIND ENGINE COMPARTMENT. KNEW IT WASN'T GOOD AS THE AC IS ON THE OTHER SIDE. FIGURED I'D CHECK IT LATER. STARTED TRUCK AND AS SOON AS I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, I COULD FEEL SOMETHING WAS WRONG. STOPPED TRUCK, POPPED HOOD AND CHECKED BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN MASTER CYLINDER. SAW IT WAS LOW. ADDED A PINT OF FLUID AND LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK. SAW IT LEAKING FROM A RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINE NEAR THE ABS MODULE. ALL LINES ARE RUSTED AND IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. LATER ON, THE INFORMATION CONSOLE DISPLAYED A SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM MESSAGE. THE BRAKE LINES ARE SO RUSTED OUT THAT THEY ARE NOW LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT HEATER COMES ON ALL THE TIME BY IT SELF AND ON HIGH. YOU CAN SWITCH IT OFF AND IT KEEPS COMING BACK ON. VERY DISTRACTING AT HIGH SPEEDS TURNING IT OFF ALL THE TIME. IT GETS VERY HOT AND OUT OF CONTROL. MAYBE COULD CATCH FIRE?? I HAVE IT DISCONNECTED NOW BUT DOING THAT NONE OF THE SEAT CONTROLS WORK. TO WORK SEAT YOU MUST PLUG IT BACK IN TO OPERATE THE SEATS. CHECKED ONLINE AND MANY SEAT HEAT SWITCHES COME ON BY IT SELF ON MANY GMC CARS AND TRUCKS. *TR

I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE. I GOT THE TRUCK HOME AND NOTICED BRAKE FLUID DRAINING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE METAL BRAKE LINE JUST FORWARD OF THE REAR AXLE. *TR

LEFT REAR BRAKE LINE BLEW OUT AND RUSTED THROUGH. DO NOT TRUST ANY OTHER BRAKE LINE ON THIS TRUCK NOW. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKING AVAILABLE. THIS WAS JUST AFTER A 300 + MILE TRIP HAULING A HORSE TRAILER AND TWO HORSES. SERVICE INVESTIGATION REVEALED RUPTURED HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINES. ALL BRAKE LINES ARE SEVERELY CORRODED AND ALL MUST BE REPLACED. WORST PORTION IS JUST UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT AREA WHERE THREE LINES RUN TOGETHER. CALLED DEALER AND GM, IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM SINCE GM NOW OFFERS A DISCOUNTED BRAKE LINE KIT. MAY POSTS ON CHEVY FORUMS REVEAL THE EXACT PROBLEM. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE AS THIS APPEARS TO BE A BAD DESIGN. FORTUNATE THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE ON THE TURNPIKE. *JS

WHEN I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY , WHICH IS ON AN INCLINE , THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I JUST MISSED BACKING OUT INTO A BUSY ROAD. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR REPAIRS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT. THE REPAIRS COST NEARLY $750. THEY SAID THAT MOST ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED AND THE ONE ON THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE HAD A HOLE RUSTED THROUGH. *TR
