TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE INSPECTING THE BRAKE LINES DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE, HE FOUND THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED. WHEN THE REAR BED WAS REMOVED, HE ALSO FOUND THAT THE REAR UNDER CARRIAGE AND THE SHOCK MOUNTS WERE ALSO SEVERELY CORRODED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 37 MPH, HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL ABNORMALLY TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO DECELERATE OR STOP. THE CONTACT BEGAN PUMPING THE PEDAL UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT FOUR BRAKE LINES WERE SUFFERING FROM SEVERE RUST AND CORROSION. ADDITIONALLY, ONE OF THE LINES HAD BEGAN TO LEAK. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

THIS VEHICLE IS A DURAMAX 2500 (DIESEL), THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED WAS THE ENGINE HOURS RESET ITSELF TO ZERO THE DEALER SAID IT NEEDED A NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THEN THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR QUIT WORKING SO YOU HAVE TO COUNT EACH TIME YOU MOVE IT TO KNOW WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN I FEEL THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THANK YOU . *TR

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS DEFECTIVE. I CONTACTED GM WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THEY KNEW THEY HAD A PROBLEM AND WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THEY HAD A RECALL. BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL OR THEM REPLACING THE PARTS. WHEN I STARTED CHECKING THEY SAID THAT I HAD MISSED THE RECALL. NOW THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT PUT ON A COMPUTER AT AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT BUT GM WILL NOT FIX MY TRUCK.. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $350.00 TO REPAIR IT. GM HAS OFFERED ME A $2000.00 DISCOUNT ON A NEW TRUCK, BUT WHY WOULD I WANT TO PURCHASE SOMETHING THAT THE MANUFACTURE WILL NOT STAND BEHIND. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 SILVERADO 2500HD WITH 82K MILES. I'M THE SECOND OWNER AND BOUGHT IT IN 2007. WHEN I GOT IN IT A WEEK AGO TO DRIVE SOMEWHERE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. I HAD NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM UP TO THIS POINT. I FILLED THE RESERVOIR BUT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT PUMP UP. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND SAW BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION I FOUND THE ENTIRE SET OF BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES WERE RUSTED TO THE POINT OF BEING ROTTEN. I WIPED OFF THE LINES TO FIND THE LEAK, AND FOUND THE FUEL LINE WAS ALSO LEAKING. AT THIS POINT THE FITTINGS ON THE ABS MODULE CANNOT BE REMOVED WITHOUT BREAKING OR DAMAGING THE MODULE. I HAVEN'T ESTIMATED THE COST, BUT ALL THE LINES, BRAKE AND FUEL, WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE ABS MODULE. *TR ## VIN PASSED ## CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD 2005 ##

THE SPEEDOMETER GIVES FALSE READINGS. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN TRAVELING AT APPROX. 30MPH, IT WILL READ 95MPH. AT OTHER TIMES, IT WILL "BOTTOM OUT" GOING PAST 120MPH, WHEN ACTUAL SPEED IS NOWHERE NEAR THAT. WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT, OR EVEN WITH ENGINE TURNED OFF, IT WILL NOT RETURN TO THE ZERO MARK. ALL OTHER GAUGES IN THE CLUSTER APPEAR TO PERFORM NORMALLY. *TR
