| Defect Summary | Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. some of these vehicles have a clearance condition between the front right-hand brake pipe and the body cross sill that could decrease to the point of allowing contact during the life of the vehicle. if contact occurs and the brake pipe becomes damaged, in half of the brake system there can be a loss of brake fluid and pressure. the brake warning lamp will be activated when the brake fluid level reaches the indicator limit. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | During braking, the pedal will be lower than normal and stopping distances will be longer. if this occurs when stopping distance is limited, a crash could occur. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will inspect the front right-hand brake pipe for wear. if there are signs of wear, this section of the brake pipe will be replaced with a new designed brake pipe section. if there are not signs of wear on the brake pipe, the dealer will install a spacer clip to ensure sufficient clearance between the brake pipe and the body cross sill. | |||||||||||||||
| Notes | Owner notification began february 5, 2001. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 or gmc at 1-800-462-8782. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236). | |||||||||||||||

| The office of defects investigation (odi) received defect petition dp10-003 on march 2, 2010, requesting the investigation of model year (my) 2003 chevrolet silverado 2500hd 4wd pickup trucks for corrosion failures of the vehicle brake lines.dp10-003 was granted and on march 30, 2010, preliminary evaluation pe10-010 was opened on more than six million model year 1999 through 2003 light trucks and sport utility vehicles manufactured and sold by general motors corporation (gm).on july 2, 2010, odi received gm's response to an information request, which included gm's assessment of the frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect. gm stated that:(1) the brake system of the subject vehicles is split front/rear and should a brake pipe suddenly fail for any reason, the affected vehicle would be capable of stopping with the pressure supplied by the remaining circuit; (2) the subject vehicles were designed to meet the hydraulic circuit partial failure requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standards 105 and 135, light vehicle brake systems; and (3) should a brake fluid leak occur for any reason, the brake system malfunction indicator lamp (mil) would illuminate and warn the driver before the brake fluid level was low enough to cause a loss of line pressure. of the890 total complaints for brake pipe corrosion identified, 761 were located in salt belt states (connecticut, delaware, district of columbia, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia and wisconsin).the complaint rate per 100,000 vehicles sold is significantly higher in the salt belt, 43.0, compared with 3.0 for the remaining states.in approximately 25 percent of the complaints, the brake pipe failure has allegedly occurred suddenly, with no warning to the driver (i.e., no brake warning light), and resulted in extended stopping distances.in 26 of these incidents, the increase in stopping distance that resulted was alleged as a factor in a crash and in 10 others the vehicle was intentionally steered off the road or into another lane of travel in order to avoid a crash.an engineering analysis has been opened for subject vehicles sold or currently registered in salt belt states to further assess the scope, frequency and safety risks associated with sudden failures of corroded brake pipes that can result in decreased brake effectiveness. odi will continue to gather information on subject vehicles outside the salt belt as well. | ||||||

| I took my tahoe in for a state inspection and as the mechanic pulled the car into the bay, the brake line failed. he could not stop the car. i have spoken with two different auto shops who told me this is a known problem with gm. sure enough. i did some research online and found complaint after complaint about this same exact issue. some were even involved in crashes. i am grateful that this did not happen while i was driving with my kids in the car. $800 later, i have my tahoe back. why is gm not doing anything about this? this is a rust and corrosion problem with the brake lines being open and exposed underneath the car. (model years 1999-2003) is gm waiting for a few fatalities to finally do something???? *tr | |||

(real dangerous) i didn't think much of it b/c its a third vehicle until i looked online and read so much about rusted brake lines. when i looked at mine they were all rusted. scared to see what the damage will be to fix all the lines. funny thing is the underbelly of my 2000 tahoe looks worse than that of my 82 c10. | |||

| Brake line corrosion!! (all lines!), one ruptured, lost brakes, forced off road to stop, extended braking distance, almost crashed. driving home from airport at 1am, getting off highway, brake pedal went all the way to floor.... brakes kicked in approx. 90-95% of the way to the floor, but took forever to stop. another car was at traffic light off the highway, and i was forced into the grass on the side of the road before car came to full stop. towed home - i replaced master cylinder thinking thats where the failure was, but then i couldn't bleed rear brakes and noticed the puddle under the truck and crawled under to discover there was a brake line that was completely rusted through. this happened at the abs module, where 5 brake lines connect, and all the lines show dangerous corrosion levels and need to be replaced. it also affected a fuel line right there too, (fuel filter is right there).... i have owned the truck since new, and there is 1 line that looks brand new (never replaced), and all other lines in that area are dangerously corroded. very odd that one line looks good, and all the other lines are bad. i have pictures of all lines and corrosion available. | |||

| I own a 2000 chevrolet tahoe. i began having trouble stopping at low speeds, the abs system is engaging when i drop below approximately 10 mph, making it very difficult to stop at low speeds. the first time it happened, i almost drove off a cliff on a mountain road because i couldn't stop the truck. the cliff is approximately 1,500 feet down - we are very lucky we aren't dead because we only stopped a few feet from the edge. through online research, i found a nhtsa recall (campaign id number 05v379000), which stated that certain pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles may experience unwanted antilock brake system activation. the condition was more likely to occur in environmentally corrosive areas. the recall was launched only in the salt belt states. the chevy tahoe i own was originally purchased in wisconsin and driven there for 5 years before i purchased it and moved to colorado. i called the manufacturer (gm/chevy) to inform them of the abs issue, and they stated that the vin was not included in the recall even though the failures were identical. the mileage is 222,400. *tr | |||

| Exiting freeway brakes were applied at a slow speed , brake pedal pushed back on my foot and vehicle did not stop as if i didn't have any brakes. had to take my foot off the brake and pump them. i was very fortunate that there was no one (car or person) ahead of me. these were abs brakes and at slow speeds they fail. according to a new media there is no recall on my vehicle (2000 tahoe) because we do not live in rust or salt belt. our area does have significant amounts of rain and snow and use of salt on the roads to cause problems with these brakes. it is interesting that when this happens in other states, there is a recall but in wi there is not. apparrently life and limb are not as important as in other states. i will be awaiting your immediate reply by phone, letter, email or fax. thank you in advance. floyd j. michaels. *jb | |||

| Gm recall; 05068 states certain ...vehicles may experience unwanted anti-lock brake system activation. this condition to more likely occur in environmentally corrosive areas. this recall will be launched in the salt belt states of... and excludes mn and wi. this is due to fewer complaints. this is irrelevant since the safety consequence isthis can cause increased stopping distance during low-speed braking applications, which could result in crash. the root cause seems to be salt corrosion and that should determine the location, not complaints, accidents or fatalities as i was informed by my call to gm. i have not been given a valid reason why i am safe from this issue because i live in minnesota and use more salt than 50% of the other states on the list. | |||

| I own a 2000 chevy tahoe. for the past 2 years, i experienced occasional problems stopping under 10 mph due to the faulty activation of the abs. on several occasions i barely avoided a dangerous crash. i called art moehn chevrolet in jackson, michigan about the problem and was told i could make an appointment to have the problem repaired. no mention was made of the possible recall. i took the vehicle to art moehn chevrolet in jackson, michigan on april 7, 2006. the problem was repaired at a cost to me of $241.60. i did research on the internet about the abs problem and located a recall for 1999-2002 gm trucks (see nhsta recall campaign number 05v37900). i contacted the dealer and was told that my vin # was not part of the recall. the brake work done on my 2000 tahoe is the exact repair sent to chevy dealers by gm for the recalled vehicles (see gm bulletin # 05068b). i am seeking full reimbursement of my costs for repair under the recall notice. thank you. *nm | |||

| Dealership is trying to charge me $900.00 to replace rear pads, emergency pad and new rotors. the vehicle was in for inspection at 74504 miles and reported to me that the pads had 50% usage. now 9 weeks later they tell me that the rotors have a problem of flaking and that caused the unusuall wear to the pads. they mentioned that they have seen this occurence in as little as 11,000 miles. if this is true, there are many vehicles out there that could suffer braking problems without due notice. i wanted to check if this is in fact a problem with these vehicles, or if it is just a scam by the dealership to get me to buy new rotors, or if i was misinformed at my last inspection and they are trying to cover up their error.*ak | |||
