general problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Abs sensors I think are bad cuz my brake pedal fluctuates and hasn't done that in a long time it went away no dash lights for the abs but it's definitely coming from the brake pedal?.

I was driving on hwy 495 which is a city road towards hwy 19 driving approx 53 mph in crystal river, FL. The vechile ahead of my mine was 3 car lengths ahead when I saw there brake lights on, I applied the usual appropriate brake pressure which is no harder or softer then any other time. Once I slowed down to 40 mph in the back passenger side rear tire felt like it exploded and heard a huge explosive type sound and actually felt the entire back end of my silverado lift up and shift leftwards into the opposite lane causing my truck to also get struck by another truck causing what was a extremely well maintained truck without a single ding or mechanical issues until this occurred. I am a engineer and have never witnessed a tire that looked the way this did , by simply driving . I have all records for maintaince,rotations etc. . Overall I have made multiple complaints and have spent 3500 on tires and repairs and still the truck needs 4500 more . I also have had to replace the rim that the tire were on and these were the recommended tires for my truck.

We bought this truck from an I individual and he had a clear title we went to dmv in lexington SC got a registration and we said they could just mail the title then we got a letter that the vehicle was previously reported by NHTSA cars program/us federal agency as a junk vehicle said we have till December 4 to resolve this we need your help don't know really what to do.

My towing hitch/receiver broke while towing a trailer and turning a corner at 10 mph, 2 blocks from my house. The drivers side of the hitch was so badly rusted, it broke, the passenger side was strong enough that my trailer stayed behind my 2 wd truck and no one was injured. This incident could have hurt someone had I been going faster in traffic when it broke. Now, after this happened, I learned that the 2002 trucks have had this issue for some time!.

Lost most of my braking as a result of heavy rust on brake lines and other brake parts. Mechanic said this was way more rust than there should of been in these areas.
