ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY SILVERADO DOES NOT SHOW THE PROPER MPH FIGURE. IT VARIES FROM 0 MPH TO 40 MPH NO MATTER AT WHAT SPEED I AM TRAVELING. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELING THE MASS PIKE AS I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I AM GOING. AROUND CITY DRIVING IT USUALLY STAYS AT ZERO WITH AN OCCASIONAL SPURT TO 60. I CANNOT FIND A RECALL FROM CHEVROLET REGARDING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BUT THERE SHOULD BE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2000 CHEVY SILVERADO BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR AND BRAKES BARELY WORKED. THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO REAR END THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED FLUID LEAKING FROM UNDER THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. I CRAWLED UNDERNEATH AND SAW THE FLUID COMING FROM THE BRAKE LINE GOING TO THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL. BRAKE LINE WAS SEVERELY CORRODED AND THE AREA WHERE THE LEAK IS OCCURRING CAN BE SQUEEZED TOGETHER WITH FINGER PRESSURE. INSPECTED THE OTHER BRAKE LINES AND THEY ALL APPEAR CORRODED WITH SEVERAL PLACES BEING VERY WEAK AND CAN BE SQUEEZED TOGETHER WITH FINGER PRESSURE. SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, THERE SEEMS TO BE PLENTY OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. SOME WITH MORE DISASTROUS RESULTS.I AM LOOKING TO REPLACE ALL THE BRAKE LINES WITH STAINLESS STEEL. *TT
