2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE ABS WILL ACTIVATE FOR NO REASON. APART FROM BEING AN ANNOYANCE, THIS ALSO CAUSES A LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE WHICH POSES A HAZARD IF THERE IS ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU. THE RIGHT SENSOR WAS REPLACED IN 3/2011 AND THE LEFT SENSOR WAS REPLACED IN 11/2012. IT SEEMS ODD THAT BOTH WOULD FAIL AND JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE LISTED ON HERE AND MULTIPLE OTHER WEBSITES, I THINK IT'S TIME FOR GM TO STEP UP AND ADMIT A CONTINUED PROBLEM WITH THIS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE UP TO 2002, I THINK IT'S TIME IT IS EXTENDED. *TR

MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO INDICATED THAT ALL FOUR BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY CORRODED, LEAKING BRAKE FLUID, AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS REPAIR COST ME $948.96. MY MECHANIC ALSO TOLD ME THAT OTHER PORTIONS OF THE TRUCK'S UNDERCARRIAGE WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AND THE FUEL LINES WERE ALSO IN JEOPARDY OF FAILING IN THE NEAR FUTURE DUE TO CORROSION. PREVIOUSLY, I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS AT 19,027 MILES AND AGAIN AT 26,058 MILES DUE TO UNTIMELY CORROSION. I DO NOT LIVE NEAR SALTWATER OR ANY OTHER BODY OF WATER AND DO NOT USE THE VEHICLE FOR WORK. IT IS NOT EXPOSED TO CORROSIVE MATERIALS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO MY HOUSE OVER A BRIDGE, WITH A LOAD OF WOOD AND LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE DUE TO NO BRAKES. I QUICKLY PUT THE TRUCK IN LOWER GEAR AND PRESS ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SKIDDING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS NERVOUS AS I WAS TRAVELING ON A ROAD AND ONTO A BRIDGE. LATER I FOUND BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER THE FRONT OF MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND NOTICED THE FRONT BRAKE LINE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS ROTTED/RUSTED. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THIS ON A 2006 TRUCK , ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. MOST OF THE LINES ON THE RAIL IN THE PLASTIC CLIPS WERE RUSTED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR INCIDENT IF I WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. *TR

I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THAT MY BRAKE LINES ARE SEVERELY RUSTED AND ONE LINE HAS A HOLE IN IT. MY VEHICLE HAS LOW MILES AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND I OR MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED. *TR

DANGER/ WILL MY BRAKES WORK,TRUCK GO INTO FLAMES OR WILL THE FRAME BREAK IN HALF. RUST! MY 2006 CHEVY SILVERADO P/U IS SHOWROOM ON TOP AND 50 YEARS OLD ON THE BOTTOM. I AM AN AUTO TECH WITH 39 YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY AND HAVE NOT SEEN A FRAME AND WHAT'S ATTACHED TO IT RUST LIKE THIS. IM INTO BRAKE LINES, HOSES AND LABOR @ $1,000. ROTTEN FUEL LINES AND SENDER AND OH YES THE FUEL TANK STRAPS ROT AND TANK COULD FALL AND BREAK LINES ,WIRING $800-$1000. THEN TAKE TO BODY SHOP TO PAINT&SEAL FRAME $ UNKNOWN. IS THIS MY LAST GM? *TR
