| Gm is conducting a recall on all subject vehicles build between may 1999 and october 14, 1999.significant changes were incorporated into production in early october 1999, and vehicles built after that date have lower warranty failure rates.the complaint and warranty data appear to support the effectiveness of these changes. gm made additional changes in november 1999, february 2000, may 2001, and february 2004.odi will continue to monitor this problem and will take further action, if warranted, in the future.for further technical details see the attached engineering analysis report. | ||||||

| While driving rt.523 to flemington,nj ,i needed to use the brakes to decelerate and when i pushed the pedal went to the floor no brakes damn near rearended the vehicle in front of me. my vehicle is a chevrolet 2003 silverado 2500hd ext.cab truck shortbed. later i found that all 4 brakelines rusted,corroded going to the abs junction box under the cab driver's side.why is there no national recall for this? are you waiting until someone gets killed,or a first responder gets injured before taking appropriate action? just like ford and the rollovers due to the tires on the suvs several years ago.it's time to stop this before a tragedy occurs!!! *tr | |||
