| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2000 chevrolet, silverado 2500 pickup truck i bought new. with about 125,000 miles . 2 months ago i started having a problem. when coming to a complete stop the brakes go to the floor, make a horrible noise and then the truck thrusts forward. the past two months this problem has been very sporatic. as few as 3 times a week as much as 10 times a week. one time i was stopping at a side road waiting to enter a higway and the truck stopped then thrust forward into the traffic. fortunately i did not get hit but came close to a accident. the way to stop it is by throwing it into park. yesterday i stopped in front of a customers garage and went through the garage door as the truck thrust forward. i contacted the chevy dealer and had the master cylinder replaced. no good. then was told it was the power booster. not that. .today they say it is the sensor in one of the wheels. will replace tomorrow.i do not understand how that will stop it from thrusting forward. i have spend much money sensor alone costing 600.00 and the garage door 760.00 my biggest worry is fear of thrusting forward when at a cross road. the car dealers and general motors hot line said their is no prior report . i hope its the sensorbecause everytime this happens you panic . it is very costly and could cost me my life. i also think that more concern from the manufacturer could be taken . i do not know what to do if this sensor does not work as they say this is the only code that came up when put on a machine. they put it on the machine because sometimes the abs light comes on and i had to get it to the dealer when it was on as they could not check it unless it was on. this was difficult as the dealer is 30 minutes away. if you have every heard of this problem before i have to spend more unnecessary monies or before i get hurt. i would appreciate any information you could give me. thanks rich . *ak |
