2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

OCTOBER 29,2020 I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED TRAFFIC WAS STOPPED AND WHEN I WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NOTHING NOT EVEN A LIGHT CAME ON TO NOTIFY MY OF AN ISSUE. I ALSO TRIED TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND IT SNAPPED AND AT THAT POINT I HAD TO LEAVE THE ROAD WAY TO AVOID HITTING ANY CARS OR ANYONE, AND IN DOING SO IWENT TOWARDS A DITCH AND RAMPED A DRIVEWAY. WE HAVE ;LOOKED INTO THE RECALLS AND ITS THE SAME PARTS WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH ON THIS TRUCK AND WHY IT CAUSED ME TO WRECK. HYDRO BOOST SYSTEM, AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM. THE CODES THAT I PULLED FROM THE NHTSA. THESE ALL ARE WHATS HAS HAPPENED WITH MY VEHICLE. 04V376000 05V161000 05V043000 IF YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL INFO PLEASE LET ME KNOW I HAVE A VIDEO I TRIED TO SEND FROM THE HOMEOWNERS SECURITY CAMERA OF THE TRUCK RAMPING HIS DRIVE BUT IT WAS TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD AND I HAVE TO GET ANOTHER COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT IF YOU WOULD LIKE THAT.

BRAKE LINES RUSTED OUT PREMATURELY AND BURST, CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY. HAD TO REPLACE EVERY BRAKE LINE ON THE ENTIRE TRUCK, FOR THEY WERE ALL EXTREMELY RUSTY. 2 MONTHS LATER MY FUEL LINE ALSO SPRUNG A LEAK DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST, CAUSING FUEL TO SPILL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, AND HARD STARTING. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES PRESENT MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS, AND UNFORTUNATELY ARE EXTREMELY COMMON WITH THESE TRUCKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO (DIESEL). THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AND DECELERATED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE WOULD OPERATE NORMALLY. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AND REMEDIED THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

THE BRAKE LINES ARE ALL RUSTED, I HAVE A BIG LEAK AND GM SAYS THE DON'T SALE REPLACEMENTS, I HAVE A 2000 ALSO SAME ISSUES BOTH WITH IN A MONTH..I HAVE HAD A TON OF CARS AND TRUCKS AND I NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS..I FEEL I WAS HAD..I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY FIXING THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND ROTORS , 3 TIMES..NOW THE LINES.. IM GETTING PRICES LIKE 1200 TO FIX BRAKE LINES AND 1400.00 FOR FUEL LINES..THE TRUCK IN GREAT SHAPE BUT THE LINES ARE DEFECTIVE. *TR

NOTICED FUEL SMELL AFTER EXITING VEHICLE. LOOKED UNDER VEHICLE TO SEE FUEL DRIPPING ON THE GROUND DIRECTLY BELOW THE FUEL CELL. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FUEL LINES WERE SEVERELY CORRODED OR RUSTED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. ALSO NOTICED THE BRAKE LINES WERE ALSO SEVERELY RUSTED. GM HAS SACRIFICED SAFETY IN PLACE OF CHEAP PARTS AND MATERIALS. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT AND A SERIOUS MATTER THAT NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED. SOMEONE WILL DIE WITH THE BRAKE AND FUEL LINE FAILURES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ALONG ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I SUDDENLY LOST POWER TO MAINTAIN SPEED. THE TRUCK WENT INTO WHAT IS COMMONLY CALLED "LIMP MODE", UNABLE TO MAKE ANY MORE THAN 10 MPH. I DISCOVERED THAT A PROBLEM COMMON TO THIS MAKE MODEL YEAR OCCURRED. THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE FUEL INJJECTOR (DIESEL) SHORTED TO INJECTOR #2 AND #7. THE COMPUTER SHUT DOWN THE FUEL TO THAT CYLINDER BANK AS A RESULT OF THE SHORT. THIS IS COMMONLY SPOKEN OF IN INTERNET BLOGS AND GM HAS A TSB FOR A REPAIR. IT IS TSB 05-06-04 047B (I BELIEVE). IT CALLS FOR REPLACING THE WIRING HARNESS AS IT HAS BECOME WORN DUE TO IMPROPER ENGINEERING AND PLACEMENT. THE PARTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO PREVENT THIS. IT COSTS $576.00 TO REPAIR. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD REQUIRE A RECALL. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME HAD THIS OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED. UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ANY SPEED, II COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSE ONE. *TR
