2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK INTO MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT TO FLOOR , NO WARNING. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER VEHICLE BRAKE LINE WAS LEAKING, VERY RUSTED. *TR

REAR STEEL BRAKE LINE CORRODED AND BLEW OUT CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO FOUR PEOPLE I KNOW. ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE HAD A BAD ACCIDENT. ALL VEHICLES WERE CHEVY SILVERADOS. *TR

ON OUR 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 HD THE ABS SYSTEM HAS BEEN KICKING IN WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND YOU ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. I HAVE READ A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THIS AND I HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR OF THE CHEVY TRUCK. THE RECALL ONLY STOPS AT 2002 TRUCKS. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE YOU GUYS DECIDE TO RECALL THIS YEAR OF THE CHEVY TRUCK???? *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN AUGUST 2013. WHEN BACKING UP (AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH), I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES FAILED. THE BRAKE LINE WAS REPLACED OVER THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE REAR END HOUSING. ON OCTOBER 3, 2013, ANOTHER BRAKE LINE FAILED CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GO TO THE FLOOR OF THE TRUCK. THIS TIME THE BRAKE LINE IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FRAME UNDER THE DRIVER'S COMPARTMENT. *TR

THE BRAKES WENT OUT BACKING IN TO A DRIVEWAY AND ALL THE FLUID LEAKED ON TO THE DRIVEWAY AND STREET. THIS COULD OF BEEN VERY SERIOUS IF IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY COMING HOME FROM PICKING UP FURNITURE. ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED?????? COSTLY FOR US? *TR

I WENT TO SLOW TO MAKE TURN AND BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR SUDDENLY SO I USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. I BELIEVE ALL LINES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AS OTHER LOOK AS RUSTY. RUST HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR LAST 2 YEARS WITH ROTORS NEEDING REPLACE THEN BEARINGS IN FRONT RUSTED AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND PEDAL WOULD SURGE. THIS IS THE WORSE CHEVY TRUCK I EVER BOUGHT AS EVEN SEEING RUST ALREADY IN LOWER PANELS AND ENTIRE FRAME. LOOKS BAD FOR ONLY 53,474 MILES. *TR

DRIVING BACK TO WORK FROM LUNCH ON BUSY 4 LANE HIGHWAY, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. NARROWLY AVOIDED A COLLISION AT A RED LIGHT. PUT FLASHERS ON, LOWERED THE GEAR SELECTOR, AND USED COMBO OF MINIMAL BRAKE PEDAL AND E BRAKE TO MAKE IT BACK TO THE PARKING LOT AT WORK. UPON INSPECTION, LARGE PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID ON DRIVER SIDE NEAR GAS TANK. LARGE LEAK IN HIGHLY CORRODED BRAKE LINE. ALL BRAKE LINES IN SIMILAR CONDITION AND ARE CURRENTLY BEING REPLACED IN THE SHOP. TRANSMISSION LINES AND FUEL LINE ARE IN SIMILAR HIGHLY CORRODED CONDITION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, LOUD BANG. LOOKED UNDER TRUCK, DRIVER'S SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE HAD ROTTED OFF AND THE LEAF SPRING BUSTED THROUGH THE BED OF THE TRUCK. 2 WEEKS LATER, A BANGING ON THE UNDER SIDE OF BED. LOOK UNDERNEATH AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SHOCK MOUNT HAS RUSTED OFF THE FRAME. NOT EVEN SURE THERE IS ENOUGH METAL LEFT TO WELD OR PUT ON A NEW MOUNT! THE REAR CROSS MEMBER THAT HOLDS THE SPARE TIRE IS NON-EXISTENT. IT HAS RUSTED AWAY. THE BODY OF THE TRUCK IS IN GREAT SHAPE. IT IS JUST THE FRAME AREA AND MOUNTS THAT ATTACH TO IT. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK SINCE IT WAS NEW, IT HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD AND HAS BEEN KEPT IN EXCELLENT RUNNING CONDITION. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH GM. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS AND HOPES THAT THE NHTSA TAKES NOTICE AND ACTION. *TR

MY AIR BAG SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED. THIS IS A PART THAT SHOULD BE GUARANTEED BY GENERAL MOTORS. INSTEAD I PAID OVER $500 DOLLARS TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT A DEALERSHIP. 64K MILES / 8 YEARS AND THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED? I SEARCHED ONLINE AND NOTICED MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. GM GOT A GOVERNMENT BAILOUT AND SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

I HAD A SOFT BRAKE PEDAL ON MY 2005 SILVERADO. I THOUGHT I HAD A BAD MASTER CYLINDER. I WORK AT AN AUDI DEALERSHIP AND I WAS BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO WORK TO CHECK IT OUT. AS I APPROACHED THE DRIVEWAY TO WORK, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL INTO,THE DRIVEWAY. WE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AT WORK AND FOUND THAT A STEEL BRAKE LINE UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE THAT RUNS ALONG THE FRAME RAIL HAD A HOLE IN IT DUE TO RUST. I FIND THIS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT A STEEL BRAKE LINE RUST THROUGH. CHEVROLET USED A POOR MATERIAL ON THEIR BRAKE LINES. I HAVE BEEN IN THE AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS FOR 31 YEARS IN CONNECTICUT ( YES, SALT IS USED ON THE ROADS ) AND HAVE WORKED FOR FORD, VOLVO, HUMMER AND AUDI. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BRAKE LINE RUST THROUGH. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE AND NOT THE CONSUMERS. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $1500.00 TO REPAIR USING THE SAME BRAKE LINES. I HAVE PURCHASED STAINLESS STEEL LINES AND WILL PERFORM THE REPAIRS AT MY SHOP . *TR
