Silverado 3500 4WD 8-cyl

  • 97,000 miles
Purchased the used vehicle originally at 42000 miles. Have taken impeccable care of it. Actual dates of incidents are unknown due to the fact most have been ongoing. Brakes failed due to ABS. Fixed twice by GM under the safety recall. Both fixes were bandaids (dealer cleaned and applied a "special" grease twice, they never replaced the ABS sensors. Third fix I paid out of pocket to replace the sensors, and since then the ABS has been ok. Brakes failed due to rust and corrosion (all lines and 2 calipers had to be replaced. Fuel pump failed, fuel lines failed due to excessive corrosion, fuel tank straps failed due to excessive rust and corrosion. Slow leaks in 3 of 4 wheels due to excessive rust and corrosion in the rims.

Consumer states the rear disc brake caliper housing is of such size, shape and placement as to capture debris between the housing and the aluminum alloy wheel, the trapped debris serves to score the surface of the aluminum wheel causing it to eventually separate, this has happened on one of the vehicles, however after examination consumer found similar wheel scoring in other vehicles (1500, 2500 and 2500hd series).
