Brake Light On problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado

Two problems related to brake light on have been reported for the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2013

I went to slow to make turn and brakes went to the floor suddenly so I used emergency brake to stop. I believe all lines will need to be replaced as other look as rusty. Rust has been an issue for last 2 years with rotors needing replace then bearings in front rusted and anti-lock brake light would come on and pedal would surge. This is the worse chevy truck I ever bought as even seeing rust already in lower panels and entire frame. Looks bad for only 53474 miles.

2 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2004

I reported that the vehicle did not seem to want to move from a stopped position. Approximately three weeks later the problem repeated itself but with the service brake system lights coming on.
