 In may (2007) i went to new york and drove my son's 2000 z71 silverado back to texas when he was sent to iraq. there were no problems noticed on the trip, but after the truck had been parked for approx 3 weeks in my driveway, it would not move when i tried to move it across my driveway while i was edging. it felt like there was something high-centered underneath it. my son takes excellent care of his vehicle and stays current on all maintenance, always. and, he had just had new rear brakes installed before he left. i had to have a tow truck take it to a shop and they replaced all brakes and emergency brakes because they said they were frozen with rust. when it was being driven everyday, the rust never had a chance to oxidize enough to completely freeze the wheels up, but after sitting for a while it was like it was up on blocks. *tr

 I had come home from being out on the road all week, since i am an otr truck driver. i started my truck to let it warm up and when i got in to leave, i depressed the brake pedal to shift my truck into (r) and my brake pedal went to the floor. since i do most my maint. on my vehicles i figured the (master cylinder) went bad. after replacing i was noticing that there was a puddle of brake fluid on the floor under the drivers side of the cab. crawled under and found that all the brake lines had rusted through and blown at the abs block. the local chevy dealer did my repairs at the grand sum of $850.21.

 Total brake failure, fortunately at slow speed where parking brake could be used to stop. it was immediately after exiting a high-speed interstate, however, where the failure could well have resulted in a serious crash. the vehicle, a 2000 chevrolet 3/4 ton silverado hd truck, was taken to a nearby chevrolet dealer, where it was determined that rust had caused two leaks in the brake lines, causing immediate failure of all four wheel brakes. an estimate of up to $7000 for repair was given. *tr

 Tl*the contact owns a 2000 chevrolet silverado 2500 hd. while driving less than 8 mph with the brake pedal depressed, the abs warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. the vehicle moved another 10-15 feet before coming to a complete stop. the failure occurred each time the contact attempted to stop the vehicle. there were no recalls listed for the vehicle and general motors would not assist in remedying the failure. the failure mileage was 45,200 and current mileage was 45,900. updated 10-07-08 *bf the abs engaged prematurely. updated 10/15/08. *jb

 Unnecessary anti-lock brake system activation (abs) at medium and low speeds. this condition results in increased stopping distances even at medium braking pedal pressure. *jb

 Three tires have been deflated while traveling at highway speeds on three separate occasions. this has been confirmed to have been caused by the valve stems, having cuts in them at the rim. after replacing the valve stems, although damaged, the tires all still held air. these goodyear tires were brand new in 2007 installed at a wal-mart service center. i am thankful i wasn't killed. *tr
