This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The driver's seat would move while driving at any speed. When applying normal braking consumer can hear a popping noise. The truck would jerk a litte and continue on before stopping. Also, when applying the brake at a sudden stop wheels would lock up. The dealer was notified.
When braking at any speed there would be intermittent extended stopping distance. The brake pedal went to the floor. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
While driving on wet pavement at approximately 25 mph, I attempted to slow my vehicle as I approached an area of flowing water. I applied the brakes as I normally would. The vehicle did not slow up, instead, the back end began to break loose and spin around. The vehicle spun around twice and came to rest against a utility pole. The ABS brakes obvoiusly did not perform as they should have. Instead of slowing the vehicle, they caused the vehicle to go into the uncontrollable spinout.
Traveling at 65 mph passing another car switched land and rearend went out. Did 360 degree and hit the side on high way. Air bag did not deploy. It did $9000 in damage to the front end. Steering feels like its hitting another metal dealer has to grease the steering shaft every 25,000 miles factory defect but I have to pay for it after warranty ran out. Applying brake when making a turn if truck goes over a road hole or bump in the road anti-lock brake does not work and loose control of the truck. Suspension is not good.
Front brakes rattle when going over pot holes and speed bumps at any speed. Rattle goes away when applying the brakes. 2 dealers stated that only oem Chevrolet pads can be used when doing a break job on the front/rear brakes. Shop that did 2 brake jobs in 48000 miles stated that front and rear brake wear was "unusualy high" for manufacturer parts and installed aftermarket "lifetime" brakes. While the shop (thankfully) will retighten the breaks at no cost as needed, I think this is not a good answer to the prpblem.
