TRY TO START SOMETIMES IT WILL CRANK OTHER TIME IT DON'T GM EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO COVER THE DASH PANEL BUT DID NOT NOTIFY ME OR ANYONE THAT I KNOW OF I FOUND IT ONLINE AFTER TIME HAD EXPIRED (SPEEDOMETER) AND WILL ALSO CONTROL ENGINE CRANKING . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASED AND THE COOLANT FAN ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP AND THE THERMOSTAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE RESERVOIR AND THE LOWER WATER HOSE WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING COOLANT, WHICH WAS CAUSING THE HEADS TO CRACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND LETTING OFF THE GAS WHILE MAKING A TURN THE TRUCK STARTED SPEEDING BACK UP, BRAKING DID STOP THE TRUCK AND NO REVVING OCCURRED. AFTER BREAKING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND LETTING OF THE GAS THE TRUCK WOULD START MOVING FORWARD AS IF THE GAS IS BEING APPLIED-SPEEDING UP GRADUALLY. PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE AND SAME THING HAPPENED. TURNED TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON THE PROBLEM DID NOT PERSIST. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS TO DOCUMENT BRAKE LINE FAILURES ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR MY 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE BLEEDING MY BRAKES IN JUNE OF 2011, ONE OF THE REAR BRAKE LINES BURST AND THE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. THANKFULLY, THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THE BURST WAS IN A SECTION OF THE LINE ACCESSIBLE FOR ME TO REPLACE. THEN, IN AUGUST OF 2013, MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP SUDDENLY AFTER SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS TRAVELING 25 TO 30 MPH. WITH SOME MANEUVERING, I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING THE PERSON BUT DRIFTED WELL THROUGH THE INTERSECTION BEFORE COMING TO A SLOW STOP. THANKFULLY NO ONE ELSE WAS THERE. FORTUNATELY, I COULD LITERALLY SEE MY HOUSE (AND MY CHILDREN WHO WERE WAITING FOR ME TO RETURN FROM WORK), AND WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND HAVE MY TRUCK TOWED TO A SERVICE SHOP THE NEXT DAY. THE SHOP REPLACED A SECTION OF THE REAR BRAKE LINES AND FELT THE REMAINDER OF THE LINES WERE STILL SAFE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE BREAK WAS IN A DIFFERENT PLACE THAN THE FIRST BRAKE LINE FAILURE. THE THIRD BRAKE LINE FAILURE OCCURRED ON DECEMBER 5TH, 2014 WHEN MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER CAME INTO MY LANE WITHOUT WARNING. AGAIN I WAS TRAVELING 25 TO 30 MPH AND NEARLY RAN HEAD ON INTO ANOTHER DRIVER AFTER MY TRUCK DRIFTED SLOWLY TO A STOP (PROBABLY TOOK 3 TIMES THE DISTANCE IT WOULD HAVE NORMALLY TAKEN TO STOP). AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, MY VEHICLE HAD ROUGHLY 67,100 MILES ON IT. ROUGHLY TWO-THIRDS OF THE TOTAL BRAKE LINE SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SEEING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED FOR CHEVROLET SILVERADO?S AND GMC SIERRA'S, I SINCERELY HOPE THAT SOMETHING IS DONE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED BY THESE FAILING BRAKE LINES. *TR
