Silverado 1500 Hybrid

  • 12,500 miles
Antilock brake system engages at vehicle speeds of under 10 mph on dry conditions. I previously owned a 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe with the same problem. One would think that GM would correct this problem. Vehicle has 13,000 miles, but is over 36 mo. Old, so is no longer covered under warranty.

Silverado 1500 Hybrid 4WD 8-cyl

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 had continuous problems with the brakes. The steering wheel vibrated while braking. The dealer determined that both front rotors were out by 4 thousands of an inch. The dealer resurfaced both front rotors. The brakes continued to be a problem so the dealer replaced the rotors. The consumer still experienced some brake shimmy. The dealer replaced the brake vacuum booster.

: the contact stated the brakes on the vehicle are not working properly. When applying the brakes, the rear brakes do not work. The vehicle was taken to the dealership to determine what the problem. The dealership adjusted the rear brakes and explained the vehicle was repaired. After driving the vehicle for a period of time, it is experiencing the same problems with the brakes. The vehicle was taken in a second time for repairs to be made. At that time the drums were turned. The vehicle was driven again for a period of time, while still experiencing the same problems with the brakes. The vehicle was taken back a third time and at this time the dealership is unable to duplicate the problem.
