THE BRAKES HAVE LOCKED-UP, NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THE FIRST ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 25-30 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, NEVER OCCURRING IN THE SAME CONDI…

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

MY TRUCK IS EXPERIENCING A MUSHY BRAKE PEDAL ISSUE. WHEN I FIRST APPLY THE BRAKES THE VEHICLES RESPONDS NORMALLY. AS I CONTINUE CONSISTENT PRESSURE THE PEDAL LOSES RESISTANCE AND BEGINS TO FADE. AT SLOW SPEEDS ON LEFT HAND TURNS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE. YOU HEAR A NOISE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BUT DO NOT FEEL ANY VIBRATIONS IN THE PEDAL. I HAVE INSPECTED THE BRAKE LINES AND FOUND NO OBVIOUS FAILURES. I HAVE BLED THE BRAKES. THE FLUID IS AT NORMAL LEVELS. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ALONG ROADWAY AND APPROACHING INTERSECTION I APPLIED THE BRAKES NORMALLY TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP MY TRUCK. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK DID STOP AND I SAW FLUID UNDER THE TRUCK. I DROVE CAREFULLY TO THE SERVICE STATION AND HAD THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTED. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY RUSTED AND WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED AT THE COST OF $2,300.00 TO ME. *TR

AT SLOW SPEED THE POWER STEERING FAILS. THIS FAILURE IS SPORADIC, BUT DOES HAPPEN OFTEN. THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES AS HARD TO TURN AS WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF WITH NO POWER BOOST AT ALL. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE ONLY OPTION IS TO STOP ABRUPTLY. CHEVROLET RECENTLY ISSUED A RECALL FOR REPAIR ON SOME CAR MODELS FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT, HOWEVER MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED. *TR
