| Service Brakes problems |
I was driving down the highway at speed limit when the dash lights came on and the truck started jerking went to a mechanic and he stated it was a fuel ejector after getting it replaced the issue still occurs often check engine light comes on and off and this the only transportation I have for work.
Driving home from work 7/1/2024 approx 5:15pm smelled burning smell, no noise or dash lights, thought it was another car. 1 minute later, heard a thump from under hood and "charging system failure" came on dash. Decided to take to chevy dealer, which was 5 minutes away. Within next 2 minutes steering failed. As I came to next intersection, brakes failed, went thorough red light, luckily not hit by another vehicle. Coasted to stop and called tow service. Engine was still running until I turned it off. Had towed to local chevy dealer. Ac compressor had locked up, broken belt. Steering and brakes failed. Dealer agreed both failed, but would not list the brake failure on the invoice. I was originally invoiced 2900. 00 to repair, even though truck had only 29244 miles. That was reduced to 1160. 00. Was told it was 2 months past 36 month warranty. Engine was still under warranty, but ac, alternator, power steering and brakes, was not,. I had contacted gm which originally told me they would reimburse me for repairs and would mail me a check, I have the email. When check did not arrive after 2 months, I contacted my case worker again via email and phone. Could not get a response after about 6 attempts. When I called and finally got another person, I was informed they had changed their mind.
The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph the brake pedal extended to the floor when pressed causing the vehicle to nearly collide into the rear of a second vehicle. Moments later the contact discovered that rear driver side brake pad had ejected from the vehicle. The vehicle was later taken to the local mechanic who was unable to determine the exact cause of the failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. Also, while operating the vehicle the transmission had erroneously disengage out of four wheel drive. The contact indicated that the failure had occurred on multiple occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failures but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 17,000.
I got my truck in may and after two months the battery went completely dead without warning so had dealership tow it to service kept two weeks said it was battery. Now same thing happened again. Called roadside assistance from phone because on star wouldn't even work. They come out and jumped it. The jump started truck but now parking break won't release and I have a service light issue,, still waiting for chevy to open to have it towed again. Is anyone else dealing with problems? I was told by the dealer last time that the rocky ridge additions are.
