While testing the brakes and lights on a 7,000 lb gvw trailer the brake pedal went to the floor. investigation showed brake fluid from behind the drivers seat and above the gas tank. the brake line over the gas tank rusted through and burst. another 5 minutes i would have been traveling on mountain roads with no brakes and pulling a trailer. vehicle was towed and repaired at my expense. also a days work was lost because i was not able to travel 130 miles home for my companion to work the next day. *tr

2004 chevrolet 2500 crew cab truck brake lines completely rusted out. noticed problems with brakes not wearing evenly and eventual loss of braking. took truck to original dealer for servicing to find out the brake lines were completely rusted and fluid leaking from the rusted areas. was informed by the dealer that it was not cost effective to replace all the brake lines because they would have to be custom fit. we also have a 2000 chevrolet 1500 extended cab that has double the mileage of the 2004 and is still working perfectly, no rusted lines. *tr
Bought the truck in october of 2009, took to dealership on 12/17/2009 with complaints mileage of 96,764 of low engine power, hard to start truck,,,,glow plugs were bad corroded park neutral switch, corrosion on brake lines..paid $ 3,600 in repairs then around late september 9-28-2010truck died a fourway intersection...was almost hit by a car...towed to nearest service fleet source...found out injectors were bad...work was started for repairs...then i found out the glow plugs...which i paid for already...and the injectors were service bulletins...called fleet told them to stop repairs...called the dealership...that had the truck in december...ask why they charged me for the glow plugs and why the did not fix the injectors...when it was in there.....dealership hung up on me...called 1-800-790-5700..spoke with gm told them about my chevy problems...they claim that my injectors would not be covered...as it was not a dealership....funny thing is that fleet source is a certified rebuilder for bosch, and satadyne by the manufacture for these parts that are used in all gm vehicles....so if you take your truck to a dealer...they get their parts from these people.....gm has a history of putting on bulletins for items...and claiming when you bring in your truck that the part does not meet the perimeter for replacement....i about another $ 3,200.00 that makes about $ 5,0000.00 dollars of items that people have complained out...had recalls..service bulletins....never will by anything that gm make again. *tr

Purchased the vehicle, 2 months later a noise emanated from the engine compartment. i found the power steering pump to be void of fluid. i added the proper fluid. immediately a leak occurred from the brake hydraulic boost. i researched your data and your information indicated that a safety recall exists for the brake boost (#04v043000 and #04v045000). the dealer refuses to fix this issue unless i pay the $1000.00 to fix it. they say that no recall exists for my vehicle. what is correct? in addition, your data also shows the 2 other safety recalls for my vehicle which they agreed that did apply and are complied with. who/what is right? *jb
