| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2000 chevy silverado 4x4. i have had a problem with the brakes for about two years. the anti-lock brake computer does not function properly all the time. i can loose the brakes at any time. i have talked to a few other owners of the same style truck and they have had similar problems. i have had the master cylinder replaced, new brakes installed, and the most recent recall to clean the brake cylinder(?) cleaned by a chevy dealer completed. the problem still existed. it may have been 2-3 weeks in-between failures. what happens is the brake pedal goes to the floor with minimum stopping power. that's exactly what happened this last time but unfortunately this time i didn't have enough road to stop on and ran into a tree. damages, according to the body shop, are going to be between $3000-$4000 dollars. the truck is in the repair shop at this time and i will have the anti-lock brake computer replaced. i know for a fact this is the cause of my accident. i was hoping for a recall from chevrolet to avoid the expensive repair. i will save the old unit along with all the repair bills and future increases in my insurance premiums and hope that somewhere in the future the truck does get a recall. i will then in turn hold chevrolet responsible for all bills incurred. *jb |
