Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Chevy silverado 2003. i have owned my truck for 2 years. in those two years i have experienced lack of brakes at a slow rate of speed. 40 and under. i have been to the dealership 3 times. last march my valve stem broke at 28 thousand. at that time, i told the man working that i don't have brakes,sometimes. he asked when? i don't know, just at stop signs and in san francisco traffic. he said to keep an eye on it. i did and took it back last friday to get it checked. i also saw the recall notice that nhtsa had in the paper last week. they mentioned a recall in costa rica and in six states on the chevy silverado and the anti lock brakes. i took it to the dealership and heather said there was no recall and that i would have to pay for any work. i have a truck load of kids all the time, yet i don't have brakes all the time. its happened about 20 times in the last two years. heather said the men drove it for two miles and found the problem. i don't know what they found, but i don't like it when mechanics take advantage of women. i just want my brakes fixed.
