 I have a 2005 chevy 1500hd quadrasteer pickup truck. the rear end started making a grinding sound in the rear axle housing at 63000 miles. i had a repair of $2178.1. i make a living as a mechanic and do not believe this to be a wearable defect after 4 years as i was told it to be the left rear cv joint axle shaft. when i called chevy they would not provide any assistance for the repair. this is unsafe do to it ca cause the axle to lock up and cause an accident. i was lucky and had it repaired before that could happen. *tr

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
07/07/20083335201
 Problem with abs brakes prematurely activating as i am coming to a stop. i slow down and when i'm almost to a stop the abs kicks in and the pedal drops down lower than anticipated. this almost caused an accident. this now happens all the time and i'm sending the car in for service on 8/5/08 to joe romano chevy in syracuse, ny. my understanding it that chevrolet had a recall for this in earlier model years. it appears that they have not corrected the problem and the recall should be extended. *tr
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

 At low speeds coming to a complete stop, the abs braking system will function and pulse causing an extended braking distance. along with it being a safety issue it is also an annoying nuisance always hearing the loud pulsing of the abs brake

TIRES
08/13/200610200111/05/2005
 I purchased my chevrolet extended cab silverado truck approximately 7 months ago. today my bridgestone v-steel rlb265 radial lt245/75r16 load range e mts 120/116s tire blew out. the blow out occurred on the side of the tire (about the 'e' in the word bridgestone. there was no foreign object - it appears to have been a weakness in the tire wall. i almost careened into another car - since i was just beginning to merge on from one express way to the other. this is very dangerous & needs to be rectified before someone is either injured or killed. is this going to keep occurring with these tires? if so, i want all 4 replaced with something different. *jb
