2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Front Suspension repaired fixed but did not fixed the vibration in front tires. Front Driver Side Hub and Bearing Assembly Failed since I had truck(used). Had front end redone but wheel still vibrated and took it too dealership July 3, 2021 and stated the Hub and Bearing grinding and growling and activates abs lights. Fuel line needs replace due to rust problems and dealership stated that the pump and retaining cam are very rusted and has a spot on the pump that is wet but not soaking wet(fail dealership looking for lawsuit for fire hazard). Fuel lines are rusted so whole truck needs repair. I spent $5400 on used truck and putting more money into it with repairs due to rust, parts and labor which is stupid as some parts do not take long if dealership have tools. I don't know incident as there no accident or anything.

I STARTED TO NOTICE MY BRAKES AND STEERING COMPONENTS ARE VERY UNSAFE, MY STEERING WHEEL HAS TO MUCH PLAY, SOMETHING INSIDE THE STEERING MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHEN I HIT A BUMP, THE BRAKES DON?T OPERATE CORRECTLY, THE TRUCK SHAKES AND MAKES THE STEERING VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES DUE TO THE SHAKING AND VIBRATION. I WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE LEAKING HYDRAULIC FLUID. BUT TO SUM IT ALL UP TODAY ON 06-02-2020, I REALIZED THE TRUCK IS ONLY GETTING WORSE AND GETTING HARDER TO STEER AND THE BRAKES CAUSE THE STEERING TO MAKE IT EVEN HARDER TO DRIVE WITH ALL THE SHAKING AND PULLING TO THE SIDE AND ALSO I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL BE REALLY HARD AT TIMES AND THEN REALLY LIGHT AT TIMES. *TR

THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A KNOCKING NOISE, THAT CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING AND BRAKE PEDAL. THE DEALER REPLACED A SHAFT THAT CONNECTED TO THE STEERING SECTOR. THE FIX CORRECTED IT FOR A WHILE. THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE PART NEEDED TO BE REMOVED AND GREASED EVERY 15000 MILES. I SAID ,WHY DOES IT NOT HAVE GREASE FITTINGS? OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS I HAVE TALKED TO NUMEROUS PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I SENT GM AN E-MAIL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, NEVER GOT AN ANSWER. I DO GET LETTERS FROM GM WANTING ME TRADE FOR A NEW ONE. WHY PAY $40 TO $50 THOUSAND FOR A VEHICLE THAT THE MANUFACTURER WONT STAND BEHIND?

I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION ON NJ STATE ROUTE 10 WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED YELLOW. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDDLE WENT TO ABOUT ONE TO TWO INCHES OFF THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK COULD NOT STOP, AND WENT THOUGH THE LIGHT AS IS TURNED RED. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND STOP. I FOUND FLUID LEAKING UNDER THE TRUCK AND COULD SEE IT WAS FROM A FAILED BRAKE LINE. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND A MECHANIC. I FOUND OUT THAT THE BRAKE LINE WERE ALL RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ROTORS, CALIPERS, BRAKE PADS, E BRAKE CABLE AND SHOCKS WHERE REPLACED. *TR

I REALIZE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS WELL OUT OF THE 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. BUT LATELY WITH HOW RAPIDLY THIS TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 70,000 MILES SEEMS TO BE FALLING APART ON ME ITS JUST REALLY BEEN FRUSTRATING. I'VE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE SHOP LESS THAN TWO WEEKS FOR FRONT WHEEL BEARING/ ABS SENSOR REPAIR WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER COMPLETELY WENT OUT. MOST OF THE TIME SPEEDOMETER IS READING 0 MPH OCCASIONALLY IT WILL FLUTTER BETWEEN 5-10 MPH. READING ONLINE I SEE GM EXTENDED THEIR SPEEDOMETER WARRANTY TO 7 YRS/70K MILES. JUST VERY FRUSTRATING GENERAL MOTORS. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THIS WHAT THIS REPAIR WILL COST. IN THE PAST YEAR ALONE THE REPAIRS THAT WERE MADE TO THIS TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 70,000 MILES HAVE BEEN... FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS,SWAY BAR(LINKS/BUSHINGS), INNER/ OUTER TIE RODS( BOTH SIDES), UPPER/ LOWER A ARMS (BOTH SIDES), NEW BRAKES/ROTORS( ALL THE WAY AROUND) , A FRONT END ALIGNMENT WITH MY NEW TIRES. THIS IS A 2 WHEEL DRIVE 1500 TRUCK NOT A 2500 4X4 THAT WAS USED TO PLOW SNOW WITH FOR YEARS. NO IDEA WHY THE WHOLE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK WAS SO ROTTED OUT TO THE POINT EVERYTHING NEEDED REPLACED. NOT FOR A TRUCK WITH SO FEW MILES ON IT. AND NOW THIS. *TR
