1998 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

DRIVING ON DRY PAVEMENT, APPLYING BRAKES AND THE ANTI-LOCK KICKED IN. THE TRUCK (K-2500 EXT CAB 4X4) WOULDN'T STOP. I QUICKLY USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, NO ONE COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES! I HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. TAKING TO THE DEALER AND STILL THEY FOUND NOTHING.. IT AMAZES ME THAT AFTER MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THEY TOLD ME THE ANTI-LOCK SENSORS IN THE FRONT HUBS WERE BAD AND IT WOULD COST OVER $1,200 PER SIDE TO FIX!! I JUST DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK... THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS SO THE CONSUMER DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR FAULTY PARTS INSTALLED AND THE LACK OF THE ASE CERTIFIED MECHANICS TO FIND THIS PROBLEM UNTIL MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED!! HOW CONVENIENT FOR THEM!! I WANT MY VEHICLE FIXED AT NO COST TO ME. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE! *JB

THE ABS BRAKES ON MY TRUCK HAVE NEVER WORKED CORRECTLY AND, IF YOU BRAKE HARD AND HIT A LITTLE BUMP IN THE ROAD AT THE SAME TIME, THE BRAKES CUT LOOSE AND DON'T STOP. AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN 2000 DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT WORKING. WHEN YOU HIT THEM HARD, THEY CUT OUT. COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES TO 3 DIFFERENT CHEVROLET DEALERS, AND WAS TOLD THAT THAT WAS A NORMAL BRAKE FUNCTIONING. HAVE CHANGED BRAKE PADS SEVERAL TIMES AND BRAKE ROTORS AND HASN'T HELPED A BIT. TRUCK IS SCARY TO DRIVE. ONLY HAVE 56000 MILES ON IT DUE TO TREPIDATION IN USING IT. HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW.*AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR PROBLEM. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL WORK, AND THEN INADVERTENTLY STOP WORKING. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. *AK ... CONSUMER CONTACT CHEVROLET AND PROVIDED VIN, BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL APPLICABLE TO MAKE/MODEL, AND YEAR. *AK

IN JANUARY OF 2003 THE SERVICE BRAKE BEGAN RESISTING FOOT PRESSURE AND MAKING A LOUD VIBRATING NOISE WHEN APPROACHING A FULL STOP ON DRY PAVEMENT ON MY 1998 CHEVY PICKUP WITH APROX. 24,000 MILES. BY JULY THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT ALMOST EVERY STOP. THE DEALER FROM WHOM THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED REPAIRED THE REAR BRAKES ($303) AND ADVISED ME THAT THE PROBLEM WITH BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELATED TO THE ABS SYSTEM AND WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE FRONT ROTORS AT A COST OF $1000+. A DEALER MECHANIC TOLD ME THE PROBLEM COULD ELIMINATED BY REMOVE THE BRAKE FUSE (DISABLING THE ABS SYSTEM). I CONFIRMED THIS WITH A LOCAL GARAGE WHO ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE $1000 REPAIR WOULD ONLY TEMPORARILY CURE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE THEREFORE BEEN DRIVING WITH ABS SYSTEM DISABLED, REPLACING THE FUSE ONLY FOR INSPECTIONS AND REMOVING IT IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE A RECALL PROGRAM WHICH WOULD RESTORE THE USE OF THE ABS SYSTEM. MY TRUCK SERIAL NUMBER IS [XXX]. [XXX]. *AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DOOR CATCH AND LOCK FAILURE. THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT COMPLETELY LATCH, THEREBY PREVENTING THE DOOR FROM CLOSING COMPLETELY AND SECURELY/TIGHTLY AND STAYING TIGHTLY CLOSED. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD AND CURRENTLY HAS OTHER LOCKING AND LATCHING PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER DOOR AND THE TAIL GATE. ATTEMPTS TO GET THE GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE SYSTEMIC SAFETY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE'S LOCKING AND LATCHING MECHANISMS HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. EVEN THOUGH GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE/REPAIR THESE LOCKING AND LATCHING PROBLEMS, THEY INSISTED ON CREATING A FILE FOR THIS PRODUCT SAFETY ISSUE. THAT FILE NUMBER CREATED BY GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION IS 1-194571737. THE LOCKS/LATCHES SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM ON A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE AND WITH ONLY 93466 MILES ON IT. *AK

WIPER MOTOR - CIRCUIT BOARD DEFECTIVE. EARILER RECALL, BUT ENDED IN 1996 FOR THE SAME THING. 98 NOT WITHIN DATES, SO OWNERS FOOT THE BILL ($130.00). VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM, AS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WILL STOP WHILE DRIVING. MAY TAKE MINUTES TO HOURS FOR THEM TO COME BACK ON. LOST VISIBILITY DURING STORM WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. A GODSEND WHERE THE REFLECTORS ON THE LANES, SO YOU COULD GET SAFELY OFF THE ROAD.*AK
