| 2000 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK | DRIVING ON I-95 SOUTH IN MODERATE TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 30 MPH WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWED AHEAD OF ME. WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES, NOTHING HAPPENED. I APPLIED BRAKES WITH 2 FEET TO THE FLOOR AND NO RESPONSE. THE CRASH INVOLVED THE THREE CARS IN FRONT OF ME WITH NO SERIOUS INJURIES BUT IT WAS FRIGHTENING. I HAVE READ A FEW SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE FOR 2000 AND 1999 SILHOUETTES. |
| 2003 | FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER | REFERENCE INVESTIGATION PE 11-014. THIS ISSUE IS NOT LIMITED TO 2005-2007 GM SUVS. ON 2/26/11, MY 2003 OLDSMOBILE SILHOUETTE STALLED ON INTERSTATE I-75. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER, BUT IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN THE DARK, WITH FAMILY & KIDS IN THE CAR, WITH ICY, SNOWY ROADS. THE FUEL LEVEL READING INDICATED MORE FUEL AVAILABILITY THAN WHAT WAS ACTUALLY IN THE FUEL TANK. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOWED BETWEEN 1/16 AND 1/8 OF A TANK, AND THERE WAS NOT A LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT. I HAD TO CALL FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN STALLED FOR A WHILE, THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT ACTIVATED - SO ROAD SERVICE FIRST TRIED PUTTING FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. WITH FUEL ADDED TO THE VEHICLE, IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND I WAS ABLE TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE AT THE NEXT EXIT. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 100,000 MILE, AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION - THIS DEFECT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AT THIS POINT IN THE VEHICLE'S LIFE. A DEALER SERVICE GARAGE VERIFIED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE, AND IT WOULD COST ABOUT $425 TO REPAIR. *TR |
