2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

"TAKATA RECALL" ON 11/04/2016 ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, SUDDENLY VEHICLE ON MY PASSENGER SIDE BEGIN TO SIDESWIPED MY VEHICLE, MY PASSING WAS DELAY AND HINDER; ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND SIDESWIPED CONTINUALLY FORCE ME OF THE LEFT SIDE PAVEMENT ONTO THE GRAVEL ON THE LEFT AND INTO A RESIDENT DOGWOOD TREES, NO DEPLOY FROM AIRBAGS VEHICLE WAS CONSIDER A TOTAL LOST BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND REPAIR SHOP

FAILURE OF BRAKE LINE COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES. GOING OUT OF DRIVEWAY TURN INTO A DTE POLE TO STOP

ONE MORNING WHEN TRY TO GO THE WORK, I START MY TRUCK BUT SEE THE BRAKE LIGHT SHOW UP, WHEN PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN, I LOOK BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE TRUCK DROOPING FLUID BY THE GAS TANK AREA. THANKS TO GOD NOT HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING AND JUST USED THE TRUCK NIGHT BEFORE, IF NOT COULD BE SOMETHING VERY BAD AND DANGEROUS.

BRAKE LINE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH ON FRONT, LEFT SIDE NEAR WHEEL. INSPECTION OF LINES REVEALED SIGNIFICANT RUST ON ALL BRAKE LINES. NO BRAKING ACTION AT ALL WHEN I TRIED TO STOP, BRAKE FLUID POURED OUT AND I HAD TO USE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP VEHICLE. OCCURRED WHEN I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY GARAGE. IF I HAD BEEN ON HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SIGNIFICANT INJURY TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. THIS VEHICLE SAW ONLY LIMITED USE DURING WINTER MONTHS BUT LINES ARE VERY RUSTED.

WE HAD A RECALL IN THE PAST ON THE STEERING COLUMN RATTLING. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED IT AND IT HAS STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT IS WORSE THAN EVER. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 59000. MILES ON IT. AND WE WERE TOLD BY DAVIS CHEVROLET IN LEXINGTON NC THAT IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED AGAIN. SO I WANTED TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT.

DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC 3 -5 MPH BRAKE LINE BROKE, PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. HAD TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. CHEVY DEALERSHIP STATES THEY WERE AWARE OF RUSTING BRAKE LINES FAILING ON THIS MODEL. NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. $1,800.00 TO HAVE DEALERSHIP REPLACE.

STEEL BRAKE LINES (BRAKELINES) RUSTED THROUGH BY FRAME OF TRUCK. COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL. VERY DANGEROUS AS USUALLY OCCURS (AND DID IN MY CASE) WHILE DRIVING SINCE PUMPS WILL PUSH BRAKE FLUID OUT OF LEAKING RUSTED LINES WHILE DRIVING.
