I was driving on hwy 495 which is a city road towards hwy 19 driving approx 53 mph in crystal river, fl. the vechile ahead of my mine was 3 car lengths ahead when i saw there brake lights on, i applied the usual appropriate brake pressure which is no harder or softer then any other time. once i slowed down to 40 mph in the back passenger side rear tire felt like it exploded and heard a huge explosive type sound and actually felt the entire back end of my silverado lift up and shift leftwards into the opposite lane causing my truck to also get struck by another truck causing what was a extremely well maintained truck without a single ding or mechanical issues until this occurred. i am a engineer and have never witnessed a tire that looked the way this did , by simply driving . i have all records for maintaince,rotations etc.. overall i have made multiple complaints and have spent 3500 on tires and repairs and still the truck needs 4500 more . i also have had to replace the rim that the tire were on and these were the recommended tires for my truck.
I've had to replace calipers, rotors, brake lines the have rusted, brakes hoses that have gone bad and this vehicle is well kept and inside. low miles for a 2002 and yet all at once everything went bad including my fuel sensor for the gas guage.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 chevrolet silverado 1500. while driving less than 10 mph on normal road conditions, the vehicle was slow to respond when the brake pedal was depressed. the contact experienced extreme difficulty coming to a complete stop. in addition, the stopping distance was increased. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection and they stated that the front wheel speed sensor cables had excessive rust. the vehicle was repaired. the failure mileage was 62,012 and current mileage was 62,200.
