Fatal collision occurred on 8/20/15 on sr 126e in lane county, oregon. vehicle drifted off roadway and sustained frontal impact with large tree resulting in engine fire. this is the third of three chev silverados that have been involved in frontal impacts this year that has resulted in a fire

Brake line failure, without any warning. resulted in loss of brakes! *tr

I was headed to the store when my truck just shut off in the middle of the street i took to my mechanic and he said that the fuel pump and sending unit needed to be replaced as well as the fuel lines due to there being excessive corrosion. also abs system activates when coming to a stop at low speeds. and i have also had to replace the brake lines due to excessive rust. at 118000 miles i had to have my heater core replaced due no heat and once again at 121,000 miles i have lost heat again. *tr

While driving at 45 mph, my brake light came on. i immediately started to pull over and noticed that i felt less pressure on brake pedal. i was able stop the vehicle, but notice no puddles. resumed drive home. check fluid reservoir, fluid almost gone. filled reservoir and pumped brakes back up. noticed some drips in driveway. also noticed slight gas smell. took vehicle to mechanic and he determined that not only was the brake line rotted, the gas lines were rotting out as well. the areas that were rotted the most is right where the support brackets are. these were underneath driver side door, headed up into engine compartment. lines were replaced with stainless steel lines to prevent from happening further. *tr

Fuel tank leak ,front of tank approx half way up tank not visable with out removal brake lines also rotted out for second time. *tr

Fuel level indicator stopped working. very common problem with this vehicle. *tr

This truck has had issues since i first purchased it. brakes would not stop the truck in a safe distance which ended up with me having an accident with it. the brake line rusted out after less than 100,000 miles and needed to replace them all. now with 173,000 miles the gas lines are leaking and the frame is rusted so bad that it cannot be put up on a lift to fix the brake lines.
