Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I OWN A 2001 SILVERADO WITH 45K MILES. LOOKS BRAND NEW ON THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE. THE WIFE TOOK THE GARBAGE DOWN TO THE DUMPSTER AND COMPLAINED SHE HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO STOP BECAUSE THEY WHEN DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I PULLED RIGHT FRONT WHEEL OFF AND SAW THE PADS WHERE IN GREAT SHAPE. I NOTICED FLUID UNDER THE DRIVE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. PUT MY FINGERS IN THE FLUID AND DETERMINED IT TO BE BRAKE FLUID. I LOOK UP NEXT TO THE FRAME AND SAW ALL BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED BADLY. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPENED. I HAVE HAD CARS MUCH OLDER WITH MANY MORE MILES IN THE CHICAGO AREA WITH LOTS OF SALT AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED! I LIVE IN MISSOURI WHERE WINTERS ARE MILD AND SALT USE IS A FRACTION OF THE CHICAGO AREA. GM HAS A PROBLEM HERE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THE NET AND MANY PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT GM MODELS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM (RUSTED BRAKE LINES). SOMEONE CAN GET KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS! *TR
