SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS TRAVELING WEST BOUND IN THE CENTER LANE OF INTERSTATE 50 AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES PER HOUR WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE ABRUPTLY CHANGED LANES IN FRONT OF ME WHILE CROSSING THE SEVERN RIVER BRIDGE IN MARYLAND. I ABRUPTLY APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF THE MAIN AND EMERGENCY BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DOWN SHIFT AND COAST TO THE SHOULDER. UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND A BRAKE LINE UNDER THE CABIN AND UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT HAD CORRODED AND BROKEN AT THE HANGER AND BRAKE FLUID WAS DRAINING FROM THE LINE. *KB

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
THE TRUCK I PURCHASED HAS A MAX TOWING PACKAGE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO SAFELY TOW 10,600# IN CREW CAB CONFIGURATION. I HAVE A 28' PACE DAYTONA TRAILER THAT WEIGHS UNDER 8,000# AS I TOW IT. AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE TRUCK HAS A VERY SEVERE SWAY ISSUE. IT IS FRIGHTENING TO DRIVE AS THE TRAILER STARTS SHIFTING THE REAR OF THE TRUCK BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH THE TRUCK AS YET, BUT I FEEL THE SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE IN MICHIGAN TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS ISSUE. THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP SOLVE MY PROBLEM. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO BRING THE TRUCK AND TRAILER TO LONE STAR CHEVROLET IN HOUSTON WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. SEVERAL VISITS THERE AND TALKING TO SEVERAL SERVICE PEOPLE HAS YIELDED NO HELP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRUCK CAN'T PULL A TRAILER OF THAT PHYSICAL SIZE. ODDLY ENOUGH, THE 2012 MODEL TRUCK ADVERTISES A NEW SWAY CONTROL FEATURE. THIS 2013 BROCHURE EVER DEPICTS A SCENE OF THE TRAILER SWAYING AS MINE DOES, WITH A BOX TYPE TRAILER IN THE ADD. SINCE CHEVROLET CLAIMS IT HAS NO HISTORY OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE, I FELT THAT I SHOULD NOTIFY SOMEONE OF THIS UNSAFE SITUATION WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. THANKS FOR ALLOWING ME TO SHARE MY PROBLEM WITH SOMEONE WHO MIGHT RESEARCH THIS ISSUE AND TRY TO PREVENT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
