TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP, THE DRIVER DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. AFTER DEPRESSING THE PEDAL A SECOND TIME, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN AND THE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD. A CRASH ALMOST OCCURRED DUE TO THE FAILURE.

JUST HAD WORK DONE ON THE TRUCK AND IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE AUTOSHOP MY BRAKE LINE BURST CAUSING ME TO HAVE NO BRAKES. LIMPED THE TRUCK DOWN THE STREET TO MY WORK UNTIL I COULD TOW IT HOME. THERE IS NO REASON EVEN WITH LIVING IN A SNOW STATE THAT MY BRAKE LINES SHOULD HAVE FAILED.

MY BRAKE LINE RUSTED OUT CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE AND MY FUEL LINE RUSTED OUT CAUSEING FUEL LEAK. THE BRAKES WENT OUT IN MOTION FUEL LINE ALSO.

THE BATTERY KEEPS BEING DRAINED WHEN ENGINE STAYS TURNED OFF. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS 2003 SILVERADO ISSUE WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS. WHEN I RESEARCHED ON A RECALL I FOUND THE RECALL NUMBER (02066) BUT IT STATES THAT OUR TRUCK VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED BUT THEN WHY HAVE I BOUGHT 4 BATTERIES JUST THIS YEAR ALONE? PLEASE HELP BECAUSE IT NO LONGER CRANKS UP AT ALL. I HAVE TO JUMP THE TRUCK EVERY TIME I HAVE TO TURN IT ON.

A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD WHERE IT WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE CRASH DID NOT FIT THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO DISPLAY THE PROPER SPEED INTERMITTENTLY AND WOULD DISPLAY ZERO WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

THIS ACTUALLY DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH AN ACCIDENT. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON OUR CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 DOESN'T WORK EXCEPT FOR THE SPEEDOMETER. THE MILEAGE ON THIS VEHICLE IS 68,901, HOURS DRIVEN 2,498.6. I CAN'T TELL WHAT THE AMOUNT OF GAS, OIL PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE, ETC. IS. I REALLY THINK WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE THIS PANEL SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER.
