3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2017

I am unhappy that gm made a recall for the problem my silverado is exhibiting however since I do not live in the neighboring state I cannot have my problem fixed. I also live in the "salt belt" being in kansas, I live 20 miles from the state of mo. I am having the exact problem as the recall - 05v379000. I wish I knew who I could contact to aid me in solving this problem. It sounds like this results in a crash due to constant corrosion. If you look at statistics of kansas city. We are equivalent to kansas city mo. I'm feeling very frustrated about this.

8 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2007

We are experiencing unwanted abs activation at low speeds giving us no braking when activated. This vehicle has been serviced on !0/28/05 for abs recall #05068 at 75,484 miles this problem is re occurring for the last 18months. The vehicle now has 115,000 miles. I,ve noticed a new recall out #05v379000 for this issue. This braking issue was once in a while now to be every day and almost every complete stop. Could the manufacturer be required to fix this issue again at no cost to us? it does appear to us that gm fixed the issue the first time but not the problem,that caused the issue.

10 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2000

Steering problem. Power steering goes out when slow down. Chevrolet is very aware of the problem and there is currently a recall on the later model vehicles. The 2000 we have is very dangerous and we have reported it numerouse times and wonder how many tragic accidents have to happen before it is corrected?.
