2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

ABS ACTIVATION AT SLOW SPEEDS PREVENTING STOPPING OF VEHICLE. DEALER AND GM REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN REPAIR, STATED THE SENSORS WERE CONTAMINATED FROM RUST AND THEREFORE NOT DEFECTIVE, THE PROBLEM IS ENVIRONMENTAL AND WE CANNOT ASSIST YOU WITH THE REPAIR.. THERE IS NO ABS WARNING LIGHT COMING ON AND THIS IS IDENTICAL TO THE PROBLEM FOUND ON EARLIER MODELS 1999-2002 WHICH WERE RECALLED. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSORS @ A COST OF 460.00 DOLLARS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP CAUSING IT TO SURGE FORWARD, IT WILL CAUSE A COLLISION.. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD FOUR WHEEL DRIVE THAT IS NOT STOPPING PROPERLY AT LOW SPEEDS. THE ABS SYSTEM IS LETTING GO AT SLOW SPEEDS CAUSING THE BRAKES TO LET GO. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AT A CROSSWALK WITH CHILDREN. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM AT THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE DUE TO RUST AFFECTING THE ABS BRAKE SENSORS. THE COST OF THE SENSORS WAS 135.00 EACH PLUS ABOUT THREE HOURS LABOR TOTAL CLOSE TO $600.00. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AS IT IS NOT CAUSED BY WEAR. *LN

2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 6.6 LITER TURBO DIESEL. TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES ARE LEAKING. BOTH THE LOWER TRANS. COOLER LINE AND TRANS. COOLER LINE FROM THE RADIATOR TO THE AUX. TRUCK HAS 59 000 MILES ON IT. ISSUE HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY DEALER THAT INFORMED THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AND THAT LINES QUALITY ARE TO BLAME DEFINITELY NOT WEAR AND TEAR( REF MODEL AND MILEAGE).WHY IS THERE NO FACTORY RECALL ON THIS FAILURE? *TR

2006 CHEVY SILVERADO HD DIESEL WITH ALLISON TRANS-- TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES LEAKING, DEALER SAID THERE HAS BEEN NO KNOWN PROBLEM. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. SO I WAS FORCED TO PAY $700 TO HAVE THE LINES REPLACED, WHICH WILL PROBABLY END UP LEAKING AGAIN. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT, AS I HAVE 3 OTHER CHEVY TRUCKS, NONE OF WHICH HAVE EVER LEAKED FROM THE TRANS LINES, AND SOME ARE OVER 10YRS OLD. *TR
