CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 2002 car safety problem was reported on Apr 01, 2009.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 2002, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . 2002 CHEVROLET K1500 AVALANCHE 4WD ACTIVATES ANTILOCK BRAKES WHILE COMPLETING A STOP AT LOW SPEEDS (LESS THAN 5MPH). THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN, OFTEN EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE ACTIVATION OF THE ABS SYSTEM HAS THE UNDESIRED EFFECT OF GREATLY LENGTHENING THE STOPPING DISTANCE IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER. IN EFFECT, THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER CONTROL WHEN APPROACHING A STOPPED VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC, INTERSECTION, PEDESTRIAN, PARKING, ETC. THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS MALFUNCTION OF THE ABS SYSTEM. THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK WAS RECALLED AND REPAIR WAS ATTEMPTED BY A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP A FEW YEARS AGO. THIS PREVIOUS DEALERSHIP REPAIR OF THE UNCONTROLLED ABS BRAKING WAS NOT SUFFICIENT AS THE ABS MALFUNCTION HAS RETURNED ON THIS VEHICLE. ON 4/1/09 THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR MY CURRENT ABS MALFUNCTION CONDITION, STATING THAT "GM WILL ONLY DO THE REPAIR ONCE". THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR DID NOT WORK ON MY 2002 AVALANCHE, AND NOW I AM "STUCK" WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD ON THE ROADS DUE TO UNCONTROLLED RELEASING OF BRAKE PRESSURE AT LOW SPEEDS. PLEASE GIVE ME DIRECTION OF WHAT ACTION I CAN TAKE. THANK YOU. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 120134 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3GNEK13T62G.

RE: CHEVROLET AVALANCHE BRAKE FAILURES... THE BRAKE LINES ON CHEVROLET TRUCKS ARE MADE OF A MATERIAL THAT IS NOT RUST RESISTANT AND LEADS TO BRAKE FAILURES SUCH AS IT DID ON MY 2002 AVALANCHE... ALTHOUGH MY FAILURE HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED, IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN FOR OWNERS OF THESE GM PRODUCTS. HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ARE LISTED ON VARIOUS WEB SITES DETAILING THIS PROBLEM, ONE THAT GM WILL NOT HONE UP TO BECAUSE THE REPAIR BILL TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE BREAK LINE SYSTEM COSTS OWNERS OVER $800.00 AT A GM DEALER. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS GM FAILURE TO PUT RUST RESISTANT MATERIALS ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT PART OF ANY VEHICLE. *TR.Mileage was 93000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3GNEK13TX2G.

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 2002 car safety problem was reported on July 21, 2012.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 2002, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . IM GETTING READY FOR A TRIP, FROM TEXAS TO OHIO IN SEPT. PULLING ANOTHER VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO GET THE TRUCK READY BEFORE SUCH A LONG TRIP. IT STARTED FINE, NO SIGNS OF PROBLEMS, I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE BEFORE CHANGING GEARS, AND MY PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I COULD HEAR SQUIRTING AND AIR. I KNEW I HAD A LEAK. I INVESTIGATED THE ISSUE AND FOUND HYDRAULIC FLUID UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT. I FOUND ONE OF THE LINES HAD SPLIT ABOVE THE EHCU UNIT, SPITTING FLUID ALL OVER THE UNDER BODY. THIS LINE WAS SEVERELY RUSTED. THE OTHER LINES HAVE SOME SURFACE RUST BUT NOTHING LIKE THIS LINE. IT IS NO LONGER TUBULAR LOOKING AND LOOKS MORE LIKE A WET STICK WITH A LOT OF MISSING BRANCHES, AND IS MUCH LARGER LOOKING THAN THE OTHERS. ALSO, I FOUND A LEAK ON A LINE THAT RUNS TO THE REAR AXLE, ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRAME THAT WAS SEVERELY RUSTED LIKE THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE. IM PRETTY SURE THIS IS THE LINE THAT IS SPLIT, BUT ITS HARD TO TELL, I CANT FIND A DIAGRAM TO HELP TRACE THE LINES. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE, I RECHECKED MY DASH LIGHTS TO SEE IF AN ABS OR A BRAKE LIGHT, NONE ARE ON. I HAVE CONTACTED DEALERS AND BRAKE MECHANICS FOR REPAIR, AND HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED AS THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PRESSURE IN THE LINE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN OHIO. I WOULD HAVE IMAGINED THAT THEY WOULD BE COATED OR STAINLESS SINCE IT IS A SALT BELT STATE, AND IM NOT SURE WHY ONLY ONE LINE DEGRADED LIKE IT DID.. THIS IS A 2002 AVALANCHE 1500 4WD WITH Z71 OFF ROAD PACKAGE, IT IS EXPECTED TO GET DIRTY AND WET. I BELIEVE BETTER STANDARDS ARE IN ORDER TO IMPROVE SAFETY, AND THAT THERE SHOULD, WITH THIS MANY PEOPLE AFFECTED, DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON THE LINES. HAD IT DECIDED TO HOLD UP UNTIL MY TRIP, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DISASTROUS. *TR .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 140000 miles.

MY BRAKE LINES HAD RUPTURED CAUSING BRAKE FLUID TO SPILL OUT AND MY BRAKES BARELY WORKED AT ALL.

LUCKILY I WAS JUST A MILE OR SO AWAY FROM HOME AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE REST OF THE TRIP WITHOUT INCIDENT. HOWEVER, JUST MINUTES BEFORE THE FAILURE I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR DURING RUSH HOUR. AT THOSE SPEEDS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP QUICKLY, OR AT ALL, IF NEEDED HAD THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUPTURED THEN. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MULTIPLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT WITH POTENTIAL INJURIES OR FATALITIES. I MAY NOT HAVE MADE IT HOME ALIVE IF THAT WERE THE CASE WHICH IS A VERY SCARY THOUGHT.

ON 8/15/13 IN THE EVENING HOURS I WAS TRAVELING IN MY 2002 CHEVY AVALANCHE WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER TO A FRIENDS HOUSE WHEN I WENT TO STOP FOR A TURN. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE I FELT A LITTLE PRESSURE THEN HEARD POP NOISE AND THE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO WARNING AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE STOPPED TO MAKE THE SAME TURN. I WAS ABLE TO GET SLOWED ENOUGH FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD AT A TURN AROUND AND GOT STOPPED. I GOT OUT TO LOOK AT WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND NOTICED BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THE METAL BRAKE LINES RUNNING FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE ABS MODULE ON THE FRAME RAIL CORRODED SEVERELY, ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN THE LINE I FOUND A LARGE PIN HOLE BLEW OUT THE SIDE AND WAS LEAKING, AT THE TIME IT HAPPENED I GOT NO WARNING LIGHTS JUST BRAKE TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE HAS 150000 MILES ON IT AND FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS HAS MAINLY BEEN GARAGE KEPT AVERAGING UNDER 1000 MILES A YEAR THE LAST 5 YEARS. I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE 2002. I KEEP THIS VEHICLE VERY CLEAN, I AM IN A SALT BELT STATE AND IF I DRIVE IT IN THE WINTER I ALWAYS WASH UNDER IT FREQUENTLY. I FEEL THIS IS A DIRECT MANUFACTURED PROBLEM I ALSO OWN A OLD 77 PICK UP AND IT HAS THE ORIGINAL BRAKE LINES IN IT AND HAVE HARDLY ANY CORROSION ON THEM. IN RESEARCHING FOR NEW BRAKE LINES I NOTICED ALOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE AND FINALLY GOT HERE SEEING A CASE OPENED WAY BACK IN 2011. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT GOING TO GO AWAY AND GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.
