BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED AND RUPTURED LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT BRAKES. VEHICLE LEFT THE ROAD AND ENDED UP IN THE DITCH NARROWLY MISSING TREES. BY SHEAR LUCK THIS FAILURE DID NOT INVOLVE BRAKING IN TOWN OR TO SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC. *TR

THE ORIGINAL FACTORY BRAKE LINES RUSTED THROUGH IN VARIOUS PLACES. THE MAIN LINE TO THE REAR RUNS CONCEALED FROM VIEW AND RUSTED, THE LINES GOING INTO THE ABS MODULE ARE LOCATED IN AN AREA THAT DEVELOPS CORROSION TOO. MY BRAKE PEDAL FELT WEEK AND WENT TO THE FLOOR AS THE RESULT OF THE BRAKE LINE FAILURE, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED . THE BRAKE LINE FAILURE COST ME A WEEKEND TRIP THAT I HAD TO USE THE TRUCK FOR, AT LEAST A $2,000 LOSS PLUS THE EXPENDITURE FOR THE REPAIRS. *TR

PUSHED BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO USE PARK BRAKE TO STOP. THE BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED WITH LARGE HOLE IN THEM. *TR

THE HOLDING CLIP FOR THE OIL PUMP INSIDE OF TRANSFER CASE BROKE WHICH ALLOWED THE OIL PUMP TO SHAKE INSIDE OF CASE AND CONSEQUENTLY RUBBED A HOLE THRU T CASE WHICH EFFECTIVELY EMPTIED ALL THE LUBRICATING OIL FROM T CASE RUINING MOST OF THE PARTS INSIDE. *TR

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY, APPLIED BRAKES TO FEEL THE PEDAL GO TO FLOOR. ABLE TO STOP AND INSPECT AFTER SOME DISTANCE. REAR STEEL BRAKE LINE UNDER TRUCK BED HAD CORRODED THROUGH, AND WITH A PUSH OF THE PEDAL, BRAKE FLUID SPRAYED EVERYWHERE. HAD TO HAVE LINE REPLACED FROM DIVERTER BOX UNDER CAB TO REAR CROSSOVER AT DRIVER REAR WHEEL, BADLY CORRODED! NOW IT IS MARCH OF 2012 (107,000 MILES), AND THE FRONT LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO DIVERTER ARE LEAKING AS WELL. THANKFULLY I NOTICED BEFORE DRIVING.

I OWN A 2002 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 ON WHICH I HAVE FOUR MICHELIN LTX M/S 245/75-16 TIRES. AFTER 18 MONTHS AND 10,000 MILES THE SIDEWALLS BEGAN TO CRACK. I HAVE MICHELIN TIRES ON ALL FOUR OF MY VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER HAD ONE CRACK EVEN ON 6 YEAR OLD TIRES. I CALLED MICHELIN, BUT THEY SAY THAT IS NORMAL WEATHERING. NOW THEY ARE CRACKING TO THE POINT THAT THE TREAD COULD EASILY SEPARATE. MY TIRE DEALER IS GOING TO REPLACE THEM, BUT MICHELIN WILL NOT REIMBURSE THEM AS MICHELIN DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM. I SEE FROM ONLINE BLOGS THAT SIDEWALL CRACKS IN THIS TIRE ARE APPEARING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND MICHELIN IS STONEWALLING IT. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION WHICH SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKES, THE ABS ACTIVATED ERRONEOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SPEED SENSOR WAS CORRODED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE CLEANED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE SPEED SENSOR WAS CLEANED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING, HUB ASSEMBLY AND SPEED SENSOR INDEPENDENTLY YET THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.
