| About a week before the steering got hard steering the instrumental lites came on when i was driving, then went off three different times, then i was backing up and turning fairly sharp to the right when the motor died. i started the engine back up and my steering was hard to steer. also every time i turned to the right the tire sound like the tire rub on something but i never seen any rub marks any where. i do think that if i was driving down the street this could have been a very serious situation. i have checked and seen where alot of 2001 chevy suburbans has had this problem and i believe this is something that chevy should definetly recall and check no matter how many miles. | |||

| Brake rotors corroded completely , emergency brake rusted completely , massive rust under truck , brake calipers rusted , power steering went out ,a.c. fan went out, short in wiring in door locks and windows, this a 2001, 56,000, miles, low mileage truck to have so many problems, the dealership said they had not seen this problem before, i looked it up, there is rusting and total corrosion of the brake rotors in many different states, over along period of time, even when the rotors are replaced they are rusting completely again. chevy is selling an expensive truck, and then profiting again on the replacement of the defective parts, and making a premium profit on that too.! they are not bothering to fix a defect that has been going on for a long time. very disgusted with the chevy silverado, my first and last chevy. *nm | |||
