2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO — Complaint #1070015
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about PARKING BRAKE:DRIVELINE:HYDRAULIC:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS filed May 29, 2014
NHTSA complaint #1070015 (ODI reference 10594773) concerns a 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO and was filed on May 29, 2014. The owner reports the failure occurred on May 28, 2014. The vehicle had 23,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Wisconsin based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as parking brake:driveline:hydraulic:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET SILVERADO cohort independently describe similar parking brake:driveline:hydraulic:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
