I bought a 2002 chevy Silverado in oct 2001. I have been the only owner and driver of this vehicle. My complaint is that since I have had this vehicle I have had the left rear differental axles seals and brake pads replaced 4 times and the right rear seal and brake pads once. The problem started when the vehicle had 15,682 miles , second time at 26,252, third time at 32,727 and the fourth time at 65,624. When I took the vehicle back for the third time I was told that the seals were fine and that I probably needed the pvc value, fuel and air filters changed. They changed everything and charged me for the work. Within 3 weeks I went to another chevy dealer who stated that the axles did need replacing. They did the work that should have been done 3 weeks earlier. When I went to the first dealer about being reimbursed for work that should not have been done I got blown off. I now have paid over $500 for a reocciring problem which seems to be a defect. I have contacted general motors and even though they have talked to me I feel that I am getting nowhere. What is it going to take? me having an accident because my brakes get fluid leaked on them . I trailer my horse with this truck and god forbid anything happen when I am trailering. Then are they going to listen and do something about this?.

Since purchasing this vehicle it has had the right rear axle seal replaced twice. It has just blown out again making this the third time. The last time it was replaced I was told that this part had a defective design and that they were using a "newly designed" part (seal). My cocern is that this vehicle is now out of warranty, the rear brakes will have to be replaced as well as the seal. I have also had to replace the front brakes and rotors due to premature wear after they were required to compensate for the rear brakes not functioning due to fluid contamination.

Rear axle seals kept leaking, causing park brake to fail. Seals have been replaced 4 times on drivers side, and 3 times on passengers side. *akconsumer states that vehicle was taken to the dealership and they said they will not repair.

Left rear axle seal failed. Yh.

Ck 1500/silverado. A plastic bag was picked up on the driveshaft and traveled to the rear end and got into the rear axle seal and all of the rear end oil was lost. The rear end locked up. Could result in a crash and/or loss of control.

When the brake pedal was pressed the brakes made a loud noise due to leaking axle seals. The dealer has been contacted.
