WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TRUCK, FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON, SHUT DOWN CAUSING ME TO LOOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKE CAPABILITY. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN TO RE-START THE TRUCK. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE DONE THE SAME THING EACH TIME TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED ONCE IN 2002 THEN CONSTANTLY 4-5 TIMES A YEAR AND AGAIN TODAY. GM HAS TOLD ME IN THE PAST THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD CAUSE THAT ISSUE. I COULD NOT GET MY LOCAL CHEVROLET SHOP MANAGER TO GIVE ME A STRAIGHT YES OR NO ANSWER REGARDING WHETHER MY PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ISSUES BEING EXPERIENCED BY EFFECTED GM MODELS WITH IGNITION PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE DUE TO THE RECALLED IGNITION SWITCHES AS I HAVE HAD THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LOOKED AT AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND AN ISSUE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE TRUCK TO SHUT OFF RANDOMLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THEN TURN RIGHT BACK OVER AFTER SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL!! I BELIEVE THAT THE CURRENT RECALL DOES NOT

I OWN A 2002 CHEVY SILVERADO, AND I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES FAIL ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES THE FIRST TIME I ENCOUNTERED THIS ISSUE WAS IN EARLY JANUARY WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I WENT TO SLOW DOWN I HAD NO BRAKES AND MY VEHICLE ROLLED INTO THE STREET LUCKILY I WASN'T GO VERY FAST AND THERE WERE NO CARS COMING SO I DIDN'T GET HIT. THE REPAIRS COST ME 175$, THAT WAS REPAIRING THE PROBLEM TO BARE MINIMUM (SINGLE BRAKE LINE REPLACEMENT). AFTER I FIXED THAT ISSUE I RAN INTO ANOTHER PROBLEM, THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM WILL NOW SPONTANEOUSLY TURN ON WHEN I COME TO A STOP, IT RESULTED IN A THREE CAR CRASH, I WAS GOING TO BACK INTO A PARKING SPOT AND WHEN I PULLED MY TRUCK FORWARD I TRIED TO STOP AND THE ABS LOCKED UP MY TRUCKS BRAKES (NOT SLIPPERY OUT) AND FORCED ME TO HIT TWO OTHER VEHICLES, ONE WAS MAJORLY DAMAGED AND ANOTHER WITH MINOR YET STILL SEVERE DAMAGE, THIS ACCIDENT ENDED WITH ME PAYING MORE IN INSURANCE AND HAVING TO FIX THE DAMAGES ON MY OWN VEHICLE OUT

AS I WAS DRIVING I APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. AS I APPLIED THEM, THE PEDAL NEVER OFFERED MUCH RESISTANCE AND EVENTUALLY WENT TO THE FLOOR. I SUSPECTED THAT A FLEXIBLE BRAKE LINE HAD RUPTURED SO I GOT OFF THE STREET AS QUICKLY AS I COULD. I EXAMINED THE INSIDE OF ALL OF THE WHEELS WHERE I THOUGHT THAT BRAKE FLUID MIGHT BE EVIDENT. THERE WAS NONE TO BE SEEN. I LIMPED HOME WITH THE VEHICLE AND EXAMINED IT MORE CLOSELY. THERE WAS A MAJOR LEAK UNDER THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE IN A RIGID BRAKE LINE LEADING TO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE CONTROLLER. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT GM HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR RUSTED BRAKE LINES. IN MY OPINION THESE LINES SHOULD BE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY MATERIAL TO BE FOUND. GM, HOWEVER, MUST NOT THINK THAT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS WARRANTS ANY BETTER MATERIALS THAN THE RUST PRONE METAL THAT THE BRAKE LINES ARE MANUFACTURED FROM. *TR
