Brake Light On problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

At less than 18000 odometer miles, the dtc co265-ebcm motor relay circuit had a fault. The three: abs, brake and service brake now lights came on. On 1/12/2015 the rusted ebcm ground had been removed and cleaned as per the 2003 Chevrolet k silverado - 4wd service manual document id:2245394. This procedure didn't solve the brake light problem. The system is apparently the same in 1999 to 2007 silverado yet gm only recalled and replaced components through the 2002 model. It appears to me to be another gm manufacturing cover up and NHTSA should be pressing gm to cover this situation. Brakes are good to have in minnesota abs brakes even better, I paid for them, but they were not provided by gm!.

I was driving my 2003 chevy Silverado 1500 pulling a 27 foot camper to a weekend camping destination along with my family including two young children. Upon our arrival at the campground, I applied the brakes, the brake light came on, and my foot and brake pedal went entirely to the floor! I had total brake failure with no warning! I believe the brakes on my travel trailer somewhat aided in slowly bringing my truck to a stop as I pulled into our weekend camping destination. Upon a visual inspection of the brake lines, the steel brake lines are entirely coated with rust throughout the entire truck. The steel brake line had ruptured due to rust which caused immediate total loss of my trucks braking system. Fortunately, we were not driving in the hills at higher speeds while pulling my 6000 lb camper during our route to our family camping destination. I had young children in the car, and one strapped in a car seat. Thank god the total brake failure did not happen while going downhill with pulling the camper through some of the very steep hills of southern indiana! when will g. M. Issue a recall on these dangerous steel brake lines that are entirely rusting through? children and my family could have seriously been injured or died during a weekend camping trip due to this total brake line failure! at current time, I have contacted chevy dealerships, they estimate a cost of $1500 - $2000 to replace all the rusty brake lines and to make this truck safe again! I can not afford to repair this truck and put it back into a working safe driving condition at this time. I can only express my concerns and hope people do not get injured or die from a total brake failure caused by g. M. S rusty brake lines on automobiles similar to mine. Why can we not get g. M. To recall these faulty brake lines or provide some assistance to aid with replacement cost to make these automobiles safe again?.

Stopped to get gas. As I was pulling out the lot, brakes went to the floor. Tried to pump brakes to pressurize. I decided to pull over. As I was turning off road to investigate I heard a loud pop. Check brake light and audible came on. Pulled over immediately only to discover brake line had ruptured. Further investigation revealed all brake line tubings were severely corroded. Chevy had finally made wise decision to go stainless steel for exhaust system. Puzzling why they did not make same decision for the brake lines. Brake system is critical safety item that should mandate highest safety measures. Not the exhaust system! I was fortunate failure did not occur on the highway. I was able to tow the vehicle to dealer for repair. While pulling into parking stall at the dealer, I heard another loud pop. And even though my foot was on brakes, the truck began to accelerate. I had to put the truck in park to stop. It appear there was just enough stopping power to get off the road. Must advise anyone who experience this not to attempt to drive home! no matter how close. I was considering this option. Good thing my good sense prevailed.

I was pulling a trailer full of firewood out of a pasture and the brake pedal went to the floor and the service brake system light came on the dash. The vehicle stopped after going about another 10 feet and I got out and found a large amount of brake fluid on the ground under the driver's door. Looked under the truck and found a pin hole in the brake line and brake fluid would spray out when I pushed on the brakes. The brake lines were severely rusted and I was able to snap the brake line in half with little pressure when I repaired it there in the field to get home.

Was driving about 35mph, and went to stop at a stop sign. Brake pedal went to the floor. I had no warning that the brakes were malfunctioning. The brake warning light went on after the brakes failed. Went under the truck, and noticed all brake lines are corroded. In the process of calling a mechanic to fix the lines. But went online to see if there is a recall, noticed many complaints about this problem. Very lucky only person on road, and did not injure myself or others.

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated the brake line failed as he depressed the brake pedal and it extended to the floor. A significant amount of fluid was underneath the driver's door. The red brake warning light illuminated stating to service brakes soon. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who inspected the vehicle and found rust on the brake line. The dealer replaced four brake lines on the front and one in the rear which was not under warranty. The total repair cost was $1,100. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 67,477.

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving approximately 5 mph, the contact applied the brakes and the brake pedal depressed to the floorboard; the service brakes light also illuminated. The vehicle coasted to a stop and was towed to a local repair shop where the contact was informed that the brake lines fractured due to rust and corrosion. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 53,300 and the current mileage was approximately 55,000.
