MY 2004 CHEVY 2500 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS ISSUES. ON 12-24-07 ON A FAMILY CHRISTMAS TRIP MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET EXPLAINING THAT THEY WOULD COVER THIS ISSUE FOR 7 YEARS OR 70,000 MILES. IT SEEMS TO ME IF THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE WHY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS. AFTER MANY DAYS OF CALLS TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY TELL ME THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN AND THAT THERE WOULD BE NO RECALL ISSUED. NOW I ASK HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A SAFETY CONCERN NOT KNOWING THE SPEED YOU ARE GOING? THE NEXT ISSUE I HAVE THAT I ALSO FEEL IS A SAFETY CONCERN IS THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING LINK. THIS AGAIN HAS SLACK AND RATTLES. ONCE AGAIN CHEVROLET STATES THIS IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN BUT HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT A PART OF THE STEERING ASSY. IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ITEM? *TR

Vehicle was being driven when "Service Brake System" appeared in the DIC. Vehicle was safely returned to owners home where it was discovered a master cylinder failure had occurred. The master cylinder contained no brake fluid, the booster was covered in brake fluid, and fluid was dripping from the undercarriage to the ground. The master cylinder and booster were replaced. In the process of bleeding the brake lines, a secondary leak was discovered in the brake line to the left front caliper. An inspection revealed a failure of the brake line due to rust. Inspection of the other brake lines revealed rust which will require replacement of all the brake lines. In this instance, the vehicle was actively being repaired when the failure of the brake line occurred. Had the brake line not failed during the repair process of the master cylinder and booster, a failure would have occurred while the vehicle was being operated possibly resulting in a crash with injury or death to the occupants or other drivers.

WHEN YOU APPLY THE PARKING BREAK THROUGH A FOOT PEDAL ON THIS YEAR OF TRUCK AND THEN PULL THE HANDLE TO RELEASE IT THE PARKING BREAK WILL ONLY COME BACK A LITTLE UNTIL YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY REACH DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND PULL THE PARKING BREAK FOOT PETAL BACK UP TO OPERATIONAL HEIGHT WHERE THE PARKING BREAK (EMERGENCY BREAK) IS NO LONGER APPLIED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE CABLE IS STILL CONNECTED AND WILL ONLY BRING THE PARKING BREAK BACK UP AROUND A INCH UNTIL YOU HAVE TO PULL IT THE REST OF THE WAY BACK.

I STARTED TO NOTICE MY BRAKES AND STEERING COMPONENTS ARE VERY UNSAFE, MY STEERING WHEEL HAS TO MUCH PLAY, SOMETHING INSIDE THE STEERING MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHEN I HIT A BUMP, THE BRAKES DON?T OPERATE CORRECTLY, THE TRUCK SHAKES AND MAKES THE STEERING VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES DUE TO THE SHAKING AND VIBRATION. I WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE LEAKING HYDRAULIC FLUID. BUT TO SUM IT ALL UP TODAY ON 06-02-2020, I REALIZED THE TRUCK IS ONLY GETTING WORSE AND GETTING HARDER TO STEER AND THE BRAKES CAUSE THE STEERING TO MAKE IT EVEN HARDER TO DRIVE WITH ALL THE SHAKING AND PULLING TO THE SIDE AND ALSO I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL BE REALLY HARD AT TIMES AND THEN REALLY LIGHT AT TIMES. *TR

FRAME IS RUSTY TO THE POINT OF BEING A SAFETY HAZARD. JUST ABOUT EVERY SILVERADO FROM 1999 TO 2013 I SEE ON THE ROAD HAS A VERY RUSTY FRAME. MEANWHILE A FRIEND'S COUSIN HAS A 1969 CHEVROLET C-10 PICKUP THAT HAS SEEN MANY WINTERS AND BEEN SITTING IN A FIELD, AND THAT FRAME LOOKS 100 TIMES BETTER THAN MY 2004. THIS IS A CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. ALSO MY BRAKE LINES RUSTED AND BURST ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT (ANOTHER VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN LEFT IGNORED). TO WHOMEVER IS READING THIS, THINK ABOUT ANY FAMILY MEMBERS WITH A SILVERADO AND WHAT DANGER THEY CAN FACE FROM A COMPANY THAT GOT AWAY WITH DARK METHODS AND IS FACING ZERO PUNISHMENT.

DRIVING SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 15 IN #1 LANE SOUTH OF CEDAR CITY, UTAH. THE TRUCK SUDDENLY SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND WITHIN SECONDS THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION WITH DEBRIS FLY A HEAD OF ME. I FOUGHT TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN TO PULL OFF ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITH HITTING ANY ONE. THE TIRE THAT EXPLODED WAS ON LEFT FRONT. THE ENTIRE TREAD CAME OFF OF THE TIRE AND TIRE SEPARATED WHERE THE TIRE WAS SEAMED TOGETHER DURING MANUFACTURE. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE BENT FRONT BUMPER, TORE THE WHEEL WELL LINER, DENTED THE FRONT DOOR IN SEVERAL PLACES AND DENTED ROCKER PANEL UNDER THE FRONT DOOR. THE TIRE WAS A BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN T/A KO, LT285R70/17 LOAD RANGE E. THE TIRE HAD A 50,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT HAD JUST A LITTLE 20,000 MILES WITH 10/32 TREAD ON ALL TIRES WHICH MEANS THERE WAS 60% TREAD LIFE LEFT IN THE TIRES. WHEN I WAS ALMOST HOME, I NOTICE A TYPE OF VIBRATION LIKE A TIRE WAS UNBALANCE OR OUT OF ROUND. I CHECK THE OTHER THREE TIRES AND DISCOVERED THE RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD LARGE BULGE ACROSS THE TREAD WHICH INDICATES THAT ANOTHER TIRE WAS FAILING. TOOK THE TIRES TO THE DEALER AND TOLD ME THAT ME THESE FAILURES WERE DO TO A MANUFACTURER/WORKMANSHIP DEFECT. MICHELIN WHICH MAKES THE BF GOODRICH TIRES WANTS ME TO PAY FOR A NEW SET OF TIRES AND DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK AND VERBALLY THEY TELL ME THEY MAY REIMBURSE ME BUT WILL NOT PUT THAT IN WRITING. I DO NOT TRUST THEM AND WILL NEVER BUY BF GOODRICH OR MICHELIN TIRES AGAIN. MICHELIN HAS A RECALL ON THIS LINE OF TIRES IN VARIOUS SIZES BUT NOT IN MY SIZE. DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY SIZE WAS NOT RECALLED BECAUSE ALL SIZES IN THE ALL TERRAIN LINE ARE MADE WITH THE SAME MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS THE SAME FOR ALL SIZES. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE SIZE OF THE TIRE.

NOT ONE SINGLE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. MY HUSBAND WASN'T WEARING HIS SEAT BELT AND WAS THROWN FROM THE VEHICLE. I'M NOT EXCUSING HIS ACTIONS, BUT THE OTHER SAFETY FEATURE DIDN'T PERFORM AS WELL.

I HAVE HAD A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB BECAUSE ALL OF THE LINES RUSTED OUT AND FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP SAFELY. I SPENT ROUGH.Y $3,000 TO GET THIS REPAIRED. NOW THE FUEL LINES, FUEL COOLER AND EVERYTHING ATTACHED HAS RUSTED OUT TO THE POINT THAT IT IS GOING TO BE AN ADDITIONA $2,500 TO REPAIR THIS. ALSO, THE COMPLETE UNDER CARRIAGE AND REAR END HAS RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT I AM EXPECTING IT TO FAIL AT ANY TIME. THIS IS NOT ONLY A DANGEROUS SITUATION, BUT IS EXTREMELY COSTLY TO THE CONSUMER, ME. WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED, I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET APPROACHING A BUSY INTERSECTION. WITH NO WARNING AT ALL, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES. THE REPAIR FACILITY MECHANIC SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN A SYSTEM SO BAD. I KEEP THE VEHICLE IN A GARAGE AND HAVE WASHED THE UNDER CARRIAGE IN THE WINTER TO KEEP ROAD SALT FROM ACCUMULATING.

MANY OF THE VEHICLES IN THIS FAMILY SUFFER FROM RANDOM ELECTRICAL SHORTS AND OR POOR ELECTRICAL GROUNDING RELATING TO THE DRIVE BY WIRE THROTTLE ACTUATOR. THE RESULT IS THAT THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER' MODE RANDOMLY. IN THIS MODE THE VEHICLE WILL IDLE BUT NOT ACCELERATE OR DRIVE. THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON MESSAGE BOARDS WITH NO CONSISTENT FIX. THIS CONDITION EXPOSES AN EXTREME HAZARD AS THE VEHICLE CAN LOOSE POWER AT ANY TIME. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE LOOSE POWER ON THE INTERSTATE AND ON HIGH SPEED 2 LANE ROADS WITH NO SHOULDER AND HEAVY TRAFFIC ON 4 OCCASIONS. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE ISSUE HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL.
