CHEVROLET C1500 2001 car safety problem was reported on July 04, 2003.CHEVROLET C1500 2001, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with OTHER . WE PURCHASED A 2001 SILVERADO EXT IN 7-01. TRUCK HAD ABOUT 16,000 MILES ON IT, WHEN WE BOUGHT IT NEW/USED. PARKING BRAKE SEEMED TO BE REALLY SOFT, BUT LOT ASSURED US, NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT AND THAT THE NEW TECHNOLOGY WE HAD WITH VEHICLE'S, MADE IT EASIER FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE AND SUCH. YES THE BRAKE WORKS GREAT ON LEVEL GROUND, BUT WAIT UNTIL YOU REALLY NEED IT LIKE ON A SLOPED DRIVEWAY............. OR GETTING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED! THIS IS WHEN THEY REALLY GIVE YOU THE WORKS!!DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE US ALMOST $200 TO FIX A 15 MINUTE JOB, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. WE HAD AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT, WHICH RESULTED IN THE DEATH OF ANOTHER PERSON. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I FEEL IT MAY HAVE BEEN PREVENTED, IF THESE(SO CALLED) GREAT ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON GM VEHICLES DID WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THE BRAKES GO TO THE FLOOR, GET REALLY SPONGY, EVEN WHEN CONSTANT PRESSURE ON PEDAL IS MAINTAINED, AND THE RESULT IS ERRATIC! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GMC/CHEVROLET BRAND?! ----P.S.- WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT ON THE PARKING BRAKE, BUT YET THERE IS NO RECALL ON A SAFETY DEFECT?! BY THE WAY, GM THIS IS THE LAST VEHICLE PURCHASE WE WILL MAKE FROM YOU. IT SEEMS THE QUALITY AND SAFETY FACTOR MEAN NOTHING TO YOUR COMPANY ANYMORE, WITHOUT TRYING TO MAKE MORE MONEY FROM THE CONSUMER...OH WELL, JUST ONE LESS CUSTOMER!! *CB.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 1 person(s) were injured. 1 person(s) died.Mileage was 17000 miles.

CANNOT AFFORD NEW TRUCK OR THAT TYPE OF EXPENDITURE AT THIS TIME. THE 2ND INCIDENT HAPPENED TODAY, MAY 2012. WHILE TRAVELING ON A LEVEL HIGHWAY AT 35 MPH A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME FROM A GAS STATION AND I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD. I FELT A PULSE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR I WENT UP OVER A VERY HIGH CURB, OVER A WALKWAY AND THROUGH A PARKING LOT. I JAMMED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO BRING IT TO A STOP. LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND THE FRAME IS COVERED WITH BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. ANOTHER GUY STOPPED TO SEE IF I WAS O.K.. I HAD HIM PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK. YOU COULD SEE THE FLUID SQUIRTING OUT OF 2 CORRODED, RUPTURED BRAKE LINES. HAD THE TRUCK TOWED. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH METAL CORROSION ON THIS TRUCK SINCE DAY ONE. THE REAR BUMPER HAD EXTENSIVE RUST IN 3 YEARS. WENT TO DEALER, GOT THE RUN AROUND. I REPLACED ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS WITH LESS THAN 35,000 AND THE PADS WERE MAINTAINED DURING THIS TIME.
