2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

I READ AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER REGARDING FAILURE OF THE BRAKES ON OLDER FULL SIZE CHEVY TRUCKS DUE TO RUST. I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM AS OCCURRED ON MY 2005 CHEVY 1500 FULL SIZE PICKUP. THE FAILURE [RUST] ALSO INCLUDED THE ABS SYSTEM ON MY CHEVY TRUCK. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW IN 2005 AND THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 35,480 MILES ON IT. I PAID $414.93 TO REPAIR THE BRAKES ON THIS TRUCK ON MARCH 8,2010. I HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED BEFORE AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE BRAKES PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN AT 29,000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE BRAKES PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED AGAIN.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SYMPTOMS OF RECALL # 05V379000 ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. AT LOW SPEEDS THE ABS ACTIVATES RESULTING IN REDUCTION OF BRAKING ABILITY AND MULTIPLE NEAR ACCIDENTS. AFTER EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM, I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT THE DEFECT EXISTED ON PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR OF MY TRUCK. THIS A SERIOUS DEFECT GM USES THE SAME BEARINGS ON 1999-2009 SILVERADOS. ABS SHOULDN'T ACTIVATE ON DRY PAVEMENT AT LOW SPEEDS. HELP GET THIS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM ON HIS VEHICLE.

THE CONTACT WROTE THE GM MANUFACTURER IN REGARDS TO THE FAILURE AND THEY RESPONDED THAT THE CONTACT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE BRAKES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 30,226.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. AT LOW SPEEDS THE ABS WILL ACTIVATE WITHOUT WARRANT. THIS CONDITION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD BEFORE MAKING A COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY REPAIRED THE LEFT SIDE AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE . ONE MONTH LATER THE RIGHT SIDE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AT AN EXPENSE OF $848.00. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE.

REFER TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V379000. WHICH STATES: SUMMARY: CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATION. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN ENVIRONMENTALLY CORROSIVE AREAS. THIS RECALL WILL BE LAUNCHED IN THE "SALT BELT" STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ONLY. CONSEQUENCE: THIS CAN CAUSE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING LOW-SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH THIS IS ACKNOWLEDGED IN VEHICLE MODEL YEAR 1999-2002 CHEVY SILVERADOS, AND WAS ISSUED IN 2005, HOWEVER, MY 2005 SILVERADO WITH 25000 MILES HAS THE SAME ISSUE, AND AN INVESTIGATION HAS DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE THAT HAD FORCED THIS RECALL IS NOT RESOLVED AND CARRIES THROUGH ADDITIONAL MODEL YEARS, THROUGH AT LEAST 2006. THIS ISSUE RESULTS IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION, AND CHEVROLET MUST EXTEND THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE LATER MODEL TRUCKS THAT FALL WITHIN THIS RECALL. *TR

ABS BRAKE PROBLEM 2005 CHEVY TRUCK DOSE NOT ALWAYS STOP. SOMETIMES ROLLS UP TO 15 FEET PAST STOP SIGNS AND CROSSWALKS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 1999 TO 2002 TRUCKS. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM. MY TUCK IS NOW IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS. IT'S GOING TO COST BIG BUCKS. HAS ONLY 37,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM UNEMPLOYED. JUST GLAD I DID NOT HURT ANYONE. *TR
