2001
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK). SEVERAL YEARS LATER, THE CONTACT WOULD CONSISTENTLY EXPERIENCE UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION. THE FAILURE CAUSED INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING LOW SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. THE DEALER STATED THAT BECAUSE THEY THOROUGHLY CLEANED THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR MOUNTING SURFACE ON THE BEARING, THEY WOULD NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. AS OF MARCH 12, 2009, THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I OWN A 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TRUCK. I HAVE NOTICED A TICKING WILE THE TRUCKS ENGINE IS COLD. I HAVE TAKEN IN THE TRUCK FOR REPAIR AND MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE EXHAUST BOLTS ARE BROKEN ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM TRUCKS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM GM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR
