general problems of the 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Hydro boost has failed. It was discovered by gardnerville auto in gardnerville, nevada . On Wednesday 1/15/2020. I contacted general motors and they said there no recalls on this vehicle. They showed old recalls on lighting and power steering but nothing on the hydro boost. The garage shows three different recalls on the hydro boost, two of which were reported by ntsb.

On the 17th of Aug. , 2017, I was on my way camping pulling a 28 ft RV with my 3/4 ton chev pu, when my left rear tire went flat. I put on the spare tire and drove 12 miles and the left front tire went flat, the next day I went into a tire shop for new tires and my other two good tires were both leaking at the value stem. The only damage was the tires.

3 exhaust manifold bolts have broken off my 6. 0 liter truck motor. I feel this is a defect as I have done research on the internet and a lot of people have had this problem, this is a vehicle used for personal use and only has like 80,000 miles on it. I think gm should have to cover this defect.

I had just returned home with a full load (2 yards) of mulch and parked the truck to unload. The truck was perfectly fine. When I finished unloading I went to move the truck and the brake pedal went to the floor and the driver information center indicated "low coolant level". When I checked out what was wrong, I found two brake lines severely rusted with one leaking located under driver's seat area where the lines cross over top of the frame. That is the only area that rusted that I saw so far. There is no other rust underneath on the rest of the lines. My truck does not get heavy use, is frequently housed in a garage and rarely driven in snow/ice conditions (I'm retired). In addition the truck is well maintained and kept clean. In addition, the low coolant level I believe is a computer glitch as the level is fine and unchanged before and after the incident. In my opinion the truck's computer is sending the wrong message for a defect in the primary braking system.

Driving a 2004 Chevrolet 2500hd 4x4 6 liter crew cab with 143005 miles. Traveling at 55 mph as I approached my turn onto a side street at approximately 100 yards out I applied brakes to reduce speed to 15/20 mph to make 90 degree downhill right turn. I experienced a very spongy brake for a couple of seconds followed by the brake pedal going completely to floor. I pumped brakes several more times with the same brake pedal response and zero braking. My speed had only dropped to about 40 mph, too fast to negotiate my turn. I continued on the hwy to the next street using my parking brake and down shifting. Safely parked, I got out of truck and noticed a large amount of fluid was running on the ground, drivers side forward part of cab, resulting in a complete loss of brakes. My left front steel brake line located on top of frame under driver side at firewall had burst. All 4 brake lines in that 4" long area were badly rusted. Removed all the brake lines and that appears to be the heaviest area of heavy rust.  .

I bought a 2004 chevy silverado from medved and I feel it has a problem and gm says it's working as designed. My problem is the message module led's are so dim they can't be read in the daylight and the instrument cluster has been replaced 3 times by medved to try and fix the problem. The p n r d d3 d2 led"s are just fine. They told me to take it to another dealership to see if they can fix it. I took it to ed bozarth and a 18 year service tech said it doesn't get any better and gm should have sent out a recall but didn't. This could be a safety issue if you can't read the warnings and other messages that appear on the module while driving.
