THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON THE MILAGE WAS ABOUT 65000 MILES ITS LOOKS TO ME LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK IT IS A 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 LS, YOU WOULD THINK CHEVROLET WOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. AFTER A RECENT TRIP, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LINE HAD BLOWN OUT.

WHILE TRAVLING AT 3 MPH IN A CAMPGROUND AND TOWING A #7000 CAMPING TRAILER. I HIT MY BRAKES AND THE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR. IT TOOK SOME DISTANCE TO STOP. I GOT OUT AND FOUND THAT ONE OF MY BREAK LINES HAD A LEAK. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION . ALL THE BRAKES LINES HAVE HEAVY AND SEVERE RUST CAUSING THE BRAKE LINE WEAKEN AND THE BRAKES TO FAIL. ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WAS TRAVILNG AT 3 MPH AND STILL HAD NOT REACHED THE MAIN WINDING COUNTRY ROAD WHERE I WOULD OF WRECKED AND POSSIBLE DEATH OF ME OR OTHERS. . THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF TRUCK AND TRAILER WAS #14500 POUNDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES, SIZE: P265/70/R17 (NA). WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE FROM THE TIRES AND A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TIRES WERE ROTATED; HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE REPLACEMENT TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,083 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

THE AIR BAG WARNING CAME ON DISABLING DRIVERS AIR BAG. AFTER CHECKING THIS OUT I FOUND THIS WAS A REAL COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS AGE SILVERADOS. PROBLEM IS A SENSOR THAT COST 400$ TO REPAIR AT DEALER. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM SHOULDN'T GM FIX THE DEFECT AT THEIR COST? HOW MANY OWNERS OF THIS AGE TRUCK OPT NOT TO HAVE THIS DEFECT FIXED DUE TO COST? THIS ENDANGERS OWNERS AND PASSENGERS AND GM SHOULD BE LIABLE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

RUSTING BRAKE LINES IN HARD TO REACH AREAS OF THE VEHICLE THAT NORMAL WASHING DOESN'T CLEAN. I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR TRAFFIC GETTING OF THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I USED THE E-BRAKE TO GET HOME AND WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I CRAWLED UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK AND FOUND WHERE THE HARD LINE GOES TO THE FLEX LINE OVER THE REAR END IT HAD SPLIT. I REPAIRED THAT AND NOW RIGHT NEXT TO THE GAS TANK IN SPLIT AGAIN 3 WEEKS LATER PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY AT MY HOME.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH THEN .THE CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING WHILE IT WAS IN GAUGED MY SPEED DROPPED WITH A BIG TRUCK BEHIND ME AND I ALMOST GOT HIT IN THE REAR BY A BIG TRUCK. THIS IS NOT GOOD.

MY 2005 SILVERADO THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW WAS BROUGHT IN FOR BODY WORK ON THE BED ON THE TRUCK. WHEN THE BODY SHOP REMOVED THE BED TO DO THE BODY WORK REPAIRS THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE FRAME, FRAME CROSS MEMBERS, LEAF SPRING SHACKLES, BRAKE LINES, SHOCK MOUNTS ARE RUSTED AND ROTTED THROUGH. NO UNDER COATING LEFT ANYWHERE ON MY FRAME OR UNDER MY GM SILVERADO. THE VEHICLE IS NOW DEEMED UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD AND GENERAL MOTORS KNOWING THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE HAS SAID THEY CAN NOT HELP ME AND HAS NOT ASSISTED WITH REPAIRING THE TRUCKS FRAME AT THIS POINT.I AM STILL WORKING WITH GENERAL MOTORS TO ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE THAT GM DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS EASILY FOR US CONSUMERS. LONGEST LASTING TRUCKS ON THE ROAD IS THERE SLOGAN MY LASTED 8 YEARS. GUESS SILVER-ROT-O'S ARE DISPOSABLE TRUCKS AFTER 8 YEARS. GENERAL MOTORS WILL NEED TO STEP UP AND RESOLVE MY ISSUE OR I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NEW GM PRODUCT EVER AGAIN. PLAN TO BRING THE TRUCK TO LOCAL DEALERS TO SHOW THEM THE DAMAGE WHILE THE BED IS OFF THE TRUCK. BOTTOM LINE IS THIS.... MY GM TRUCK IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD, GM NEEDS TO FIX MY TRUCK TO KEEP THIS LOYAL GM OWNER SATISFIED WITH THERE PRODUCT LINE. MIND YOU I OWN 5 GM VEHICLES MY WIFE'S GRANDFATHER SOLD PONTIAC'S FOR 50+ YEARS. THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO STAND BY YOUR PRODUCT GM AND THE EASIEST WAY TO LOSE A LIFE LONE LOYAL GM CUSTOMER. TOYOTA IS STANDING BY THERE TRUCKS BY FIXING FRAME ROT ISSUES FOR THEIR CONSUMERS YOU SHOULD TOO. MINE WAS BUILT IN CANADA JUST AS A SIDE NOTE. FIX MY 2006 SILVERADO TRUCK GM. STAND BY YOUR WORD AND HORROR YOUR SLOGAN AND MAKE MY SILVERADO THE LONGEST LAST TRUCK ON THE ROAD.

MY 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 SUDDENLY WOULD NOT START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THE STARTER AND THE RELAY WERE BAD. IT COST ME OVER $700. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 53,000 MILES ON IT.
