WAS ABLE TO COME TO STOP AND COULD SEE RUSTED BRAKE LINES BY DRIVER DOOR. HAD WIFE PRESS BRAKE PEDDLE TO SEE FLUID SRAYING FROM RUSTED AREA. HAD ZERO BRAKING POWER WHEN FIRST WENT OUT

AFTER DISCOVERING AN EXHAUST LEAK PERFORMED A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE. I HAVE A 2004 SILVERADO WITH THE 6.0L.

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked in the driveway, he poured oil into the oil reservoir, and then placed the key into the ignition switch to turn on the vehicle when the air bags unexpectedly deployed without warning. The steering wheel air bag hit the contact's face and knocked him to the ground. The contact suffered cuts to his cheek, below his eye, and neck, as well as soreness to his neck, face, and back. The contact stated his left ear was ringing and he could not hear; however, no medical attention was received. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 173,000.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT OCCASIONALLY STARTED COMING ON. TOOK TRUCK TO SEVERAL INDEPENDENT SVC PLACES. THEY SAID DO NOT HAVE COMPUTER READER FOR AIRBAGS. LIGHT STARTED STAYING ON CONSTANTLY. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALERS AND THEY SAID BECAUSE OF LIABILITY, THE DIAGNOSTICS ARE $900 AND COULD RUN ANOTHER $1500 OR MORE TO FIX PROBLEM. AND, THEY WANTED TO KEEP TRUCK. TRUCK IS USED DAILY FOR SHORT RUNS AND HAS A BUNCH OF EQUIPMENT ON IT THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO LEAVE IT SOMEWHERE. BECAUSE OF THE STAGGERING COST, AND THE INCONVENIENCE OF HAVING TO OFF LOAD THE TRUCK AND NOT HAVE ITS USE AND THE LACK OF PLACES TO WORK ON IT AT ALL, WE HAVE LEFT IT ALONE. I HAVE DRIVEN VEHICLES WITHOUT AIRBAGS OVER 3 CONTINENTS AND THROUGH JUNGLES & ALL TYPES OF TERRAIN OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS WITH OUT EVER NEEDING AIRBAGS. NOW TAKATA MAKES A SAFETY DEVICE THAT CAN SHOOT AND KILL YOU -- DO I NEED THIS? IF SO, WHO PAYS THE REPAIR BILL?

THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT WITH THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES THE TRUCK STARTED TO HESITATE WHENEVER I WOULD TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT, IT WOULD DO THIS ABOUT ONCE A MONTH OR SO. AT 30,000 MILES OR SO, IT WOULD KIND OF JUMP INTO GEAR WHEN FIRST TAKING OFF OR JUMP INTO REVERSE. DEALER WOULD SAY THEY TEST DRIVE AT EACH OIL CHANGE BUT COULD NOT FIND NOTHING, I WAS SURE THEY WOULDN'T BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME. NOW IT'S OCCURRING EVERY OTHER WEEK OR SO. FINALLY AT 76,000 MILES IT WOULDN'T GET PASS SECOND GEAR, DEALER FINALLY FOUND A PROBLEM AND NOW IT'S $2800 TO REPLACE PARTS. NO HEAVY CITY DRIVING, I ONLY LIVE 5 MINUTES FROM WORK. I PUT THE TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY ONCE A MONTH TO TRAVEL ABOUT 300 MILES ROUND TRIP. THE ONLY TIME THE DEALER WROTE ANYTHING DOWN, I DISCOVERED, WAS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I TALKED WITH ANOTHER 2007 SILVERADO OWNER AND THEY HAVE 17,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS JUMPING INTO GEAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I NOTICED I HAD TO START PUTTING THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STOP, ESPECIALLY ON AN INCLINE. THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES SO I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE LINE BLEW AND ALL THE OTHER BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED AND THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS TRUCK IS ONLY 11 YEARS OLD, THAT IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 108K MILES. I CALLED A LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED ME 3K+ TO FIX IT. IT INVOLVED AT LEAST 20 HOURS OF LABOR AND THEY NEEDED TO LIFT THE FRAME OFF TO FIX. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THEIR ARE NO RECALLS FROM GM OR ATLEAST THEM OFFERING ANY HELP TO PAY FOR THIS. THE DEALER DID NOT OFFER ME ANY HELP OR REMEDY TO THE SITUATION, JUST WANTED ME TO FORK UP 3K.

THE DASH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED AND DOES NOT READ A CORRECT TEMPERATURE NOR DOES THE OIL GAUGE READ CORRECTLY. THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND WITHIN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE AT THE GM COMPANY. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CLUSTER IS FAILING AND THE READING ARE NOT CORRECT ON THE DASHBOARD PANEL ARE NOR RIGHT. IT WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. GM SAYS THAT THE SPECIAL RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IS EXPIRED AND THEY WILL NOT FIX MY TRUCK. THE SPECIAL RECALL EXPIRED IN 2011. *TR

DRIVING THROUGH UTAH AT POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 75 WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY STARTED TO INDICATE A DECELERATION FROM CRUISES SPEED TO 30 MPH. MY VEHICLE DID NOT PHYSICALLY SLOW AS EVIDENCED BY MY GPS WHICH CONTINUED TO SHOW ACTUAL SPEED OF 75 MPH. DISENGAGING THE CRUISE CONTROL DID SLOW THE VEHICLE WHEN THE ACTUAL SPEEDS WERE 50+/- MPH THAN INDICATED ON SPEEDOMETER. STOPPING MY VEHICLE AND TURNING THE IGNITION OFF APPARENTLY RESET SOMETHING? IMMEDIATELY RESTARTING MY PICKUP SEEMED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THIS SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED FOR OVER ONE YEAR REQUIRING THE CONTINUAL USE OF GPS TO CONFIRM MY ACTUAL SPEEDS. I HAVE A SIGNIFICANT CAUSE OF CONCERN WHEN INDICATED SPEEDS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER THAN INDICATED. I CONTACTED GM DEALERSHIP, ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY HAVE NO IDEA OF THE PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT CONFIRM THE CONTINUAL PROBLEM. IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM I'M ALSO EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE THE FUEL TANK LEVELS. GAUGES INDICATE 1/2 TANK, HOWEVER WHEN FUELED AT THAT LEVEL THE TANK REQUIRED NEARLY 20 GALLONS OF FUEL TO FULL. AGAIN THE GM DEALERSHIP WAS NOT CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY PROBLEM. ONLINE SEARCHES OF SIMILAR PROBLEM HAVE INDICATED MANY CHEVROLET SILVERADOS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR SAFETY PROBLEMS. *TR

STEEL BRAKE, FUEL AND TRANSMISSION LINES ARE EXTREMELY RUSTY AND FAILURE APPEARS TO BE IMMINENT, ESPECIALLY ON BRAKE LINES. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN GAYLORD, MICHIGAN INSTALLED DUNLOP AT20 GRANDTREK P245/75R16 TIRES ON MY HD 2500 SILVERADO PICKUP TRUCK. THIS TRUCK IS A 3/4 TON PICKUP. THESE TIRES WERE PASSENGER TIRES RATED AT 4 PLY AND NEVER DESIGNED TO BE INSTALLED ON A 3/4 TON PICKUP TRUCK. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS UNTIL JUNE 2014 WHEN I LEARNED THIS FROM THE GOODYEAR TIRE CORP. AFTER THEY SENT ME TO HAVE THEIR TIRES INSPECTED. MY TRUCK REQUIRES LT TIRES AND AT LEAST 10 PLY. CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN GAYLORD MADE MY TRUCK UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ONE TIRE EVENTUALLY BLEW OUT ON THE EXPRESSWAY, FORTUNATELY A MOTORIST I WAS PASSING PULLED UP ALONG SIDE US AND SIGNALED THAT WE HAD A PROBLEM UP FRONT AT THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL AREA! QUESTION IS, WHY WOULD A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP NOT KNOW WHAT TIRES TO INSTALL ON THEIR OWN CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICKUP TRUCKS? I ASKED THEM TO PUT ON THE CORRECT TIRES ( 10 PLY - LT TIRES) ACCORDING TO THE PLACARD LOCATED ON MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AT NO CHARGE BUT THEY REFUSED NOW WHAT ACTION IS TO BE TAKEN AGAINST A DEALERSHIP WHO WOULD DO THIS? I HAD LT TIRES ON THE TRUCK BACK IN JUNE OF 2010 WHEN I PULLED INTO THIS CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE ONE TIRE REPAIRED BECAUSE OF A SLOW LEAK. THEY TALKED ME INTO BUYING 4 NEW TIRES AND THESE ARE THE ONES THEY RECOMMENDED AND I AGREED TO. I DID NOT KNOW THAT THESE WERE NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED ON A 3/4 TON PICKUP TRUCK. I HAD 75K MILES ON THE TRUCK THEN AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THEY GAVE ME FREE ROTATIONS EVERY 6 - 8K MILES WITHOUT EVER TELLING ME THEY HAD INSTALLED INCORRECT TIRES ON MY TRUCK! THIS IS A NIGHTMARE! WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST I DO? GM HAS BEEN ZERO HELP IN THIS MATTER!!!!---I'VE TRIED BUT THEY ARE WORTHLESS! AND THIS DEALERSHIP IS PATHETIC THAT THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR MISTAKE AND CORRECT IT BY REFUNDING MY MONEY BACK! I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR ANOTHER MOTORIST OR SERIOUSLY INJURED SOMEONE. *TR
