Noticed my brake lines coming out of the brake master cylinder are rusting ! These lines are not near the road [ chemicals/ road salts ] but are in the engine compartment. My truck is located and driven in southern california in a warm location [ not in the mountains and winter cold]. I will have to check the rest of the lines and do something before they rust thru and cause an accident. This is a safety issue. *tr

When rolling forward to a stop, the abs activates, pedal falls, and truck rolls past stop sign. At first it was random, now it happens all the time when stopping. I won't let my wife or daughter drive it. *tr

Abs engages when rolling to a stop sign at very low speeds. The brake pedal gets soft and you roll past where you think you would have stopped. The abs light does not come on when this happens. I disabled the abs by pulling the fuse and the problem does not occur. I think it is a abs sensor issue as there are no leaks or loss of brake fluid and evertything else looks fine. *tt

Upon having my truck inspected for 2014, it was revealed to me that all of the brake lines on the truck were severely corroded and needed replaced. I was told that this is a "common" problem on chevy trucks. The cost of repairing the brake lines has been estimated at a much higher number than the $500 that gmc quotes. On top of that i fail to see why they can create stainless steel exhaust systems, but apparently…

Antilock braking system is activated at when 1) vehicle brake pedal is pressed, 2) vehicle is traveling less than 6 mph, 3) tire traction to road is excellent and antilock braking activation is not necessary. Deceleration is greatly reduced by antilock braking system activation under these conditions. *tr

At low speeds (from 5mph to 0mph), the abs braking system on my 2005 chevrolet silverado engages on dry pavement and the brake pedal goes to the floor. There is a well documented recall on chevy trucks built in 2000 - 2004, but gm says that they do not have an active recall on later models (mine's a 2005). This is a severe problem because the vehicle does not want to stop.…
