2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

2006 SILVERADO 1500. UNINTENDED LOW SPEED ABS ACTIVATION. THE ABS ACTIVATES WHEN COMING TO A STOP INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCE BY 15-20 FEET MAKING A REAR END COLLISION INEVITBLE. WHEN GM WAS NOTIFIED, THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM I DESCRIBED, BUT MY VEHICLE DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE MODEL YEAR, WHEN ASKED IF GM WAS GOING TO EXPAND THE RECAL, I WAS TOLD "NO". EVERYBODY IS JUMPING ON TOYOTA PRIUS FOR THIER BRAKE ISSUE, YET GM GOES UNSCATHED WITH THIERS. THE ABS ACTIVATES BELOW 10 MPH ON DRY/ CLEAN PAVEMENT AND IS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY.

2006 SILVERADO 1500. UNINTENDED LOW SPEED ABS ACTIVATION. WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE ABS ACTIVATES WHEN NOT NECCESARY, DRY/CLEAN PAVEMENT. THIS CAUSES AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE BY 15-20 FEET MAKING REAR END COLLISION INEVITABLE. I NOTIFIED GM, THEY STATED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR EXACTLY THE PROBLEM I DESCRIBED, BUT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE MODEL YEAR INVOLVED, I ASKED IF THEY WERE GOING TO EXPAND THE RECALL, I WAS TOLD "NO". THE ABS ACTIVATION ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY....THE ACTIVATION IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND HAPPENS AT SPEED OF 10 MPH AND BELOW....IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TOME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. EVERYBODY IS JUMPING ALL OVER TOYOTA ABOUT THE PRIUS BRAKES, YET GM GETS AWAY WITH THIERS.

FAILURE OF LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING ON A 2006 1500 SILVERADO Z71 CREW CAB. GRINDING NOISE HAD BEEN COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL INTERMITTENTLY FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY. TRUCK WAS TAKEN IN TO HAVE ALL FOUR TIRES CHANGED AT 54590 MILES. DAYTON OHIO GRISMER AUTO SERVICE TECHNICIANS INFORMED ME THAT THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL BEARING WAS WORE OUT AND NEEDED REPLACED BEFORE THEY COULD FINISH CHANGING THE TIRES AND DOING THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT. THIS WAS A ADDITION EXPENSE OF $270.00 FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE BEARING HUB AND LABOR. CONTACTED THE JEFF SCHMITT CHEVY DEALER IN FAIRBORN OHIO WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW TO ASK ABOUT THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE WHEEL BEARINGS, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS WITH THE BEARINGS FAILING EARLY AND THEY HAVE HAD NO OTHER PEOPLE ASK ABOUT THIS. LOOKING HERE I SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENTS CONCERNING THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING HUB AND ALSO NUMEROUS CASES WITH THE RIGHT SIDE. WHEN IS THERE GOING TO BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS????? THIS PROBLEM AND WITH THE STEERING COLUMN INTER-LINK HAS BEEN GOING ON FOREVER AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE WITH EITHER ONE. THE NHTSA AND GM NEED TO GET THESE TWO ITEMS FIXED RIGHT ONCE AND FOR ALL. I HAVE THE FAILED WHEEL BEARING HUB ASSEMBLY IF ANYONE WANTS IT TO INSPECT IT. *TR
