2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

I PURCHASED MY 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 HD IN DECEMBER OF 2013. THE CAR HAD 76000 MILES ON IT AT PURCHASE, AND HAS HAD LESS THAN 5000 PUT ON IT SINCE THEN. UPON INITIAL INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE LINES, THEY WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH.

MY QUESTION IS THIS: WILL THE 2005 YEAR MODEL TRUCKS BE INCLUDED IN THE ENGINEERING ANALYSIS FILE #EA11001? I CHECKED CHEVY'S WEBSITE TODAY AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO RECALLS ON THIS MODEL YEAR TRUCK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO BOTH STATED THAT THE ABS SENSOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

RIGHT SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS BOLTS RUSTED OFF CAUSING EXHAUST GASES TO ESCAPE AND CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON.CANNOT GET THE VEHICLE STATE INSPECTED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. MECHANIC SAYS IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED TO GET VEHICLE INSPECTED.THE OTHERS LOOK LIKE THEY MAY BE FAILING ALSO. THIS IS A BIG OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE SINCE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

HAULING MY TRAILER WHEN I DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL AND PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR BRAKE LINE UNDER DRIVERS CAB ROTTED AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION ALL LINES ON VEHICLE ARE ROTTED AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. HAPPY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. LUCKY MY 36FT FIFTH WHEEL HAS BRAKES SO I COULD USE MY TRAILER BRAKES TO STOP THE TOTAL UNIT. IF I WERE ON A MAIN STREET DOING REGULAR SPEED I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. *TR

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.

STARTED FOR THE STORE. WENT ONE BLOCK AND HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES FOR A RED LIGHT. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKE INDICATOR WARNING. LUCKILY DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. RETURNED HOME AND THEN DROVE IT UP TO MY MECHANIC LATE AT NIGHT (NO TRAFFIC). HE DIAGNOSED IT AS A RUSTED THROUGH BRAKE LINE WHICH HE REPLACED. BUT HE DID INDICATE THAT MOST OF THE REMAINING LINES ARE ALSO BADLY RUSTED. I'VE HAD PREVIOUS YEAR CHEVY TRUCKS WITH MANY MORE MILES AND LONGER TIME ON THE ROAD WITH NO BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM. I LIVE IN NORTHERN VA. WHERE WE DON'T GET A LOT OF SNOW AND ICE , CONSEQUENTLY NOT MUCH SALT. I THINK GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IS TRYING TO STALL AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. HOW MANY ACCIDENTS WILL THERE HAVE TO BE BEFORE THE NHTSA DOES SOMETHING. REMEMBER THE GOV. BAILED GM OUT. *TR
