NHTSA Complaint #10377922 — 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500

BRAKE LINES, TRANSMISSION LINES AND ENGINE COOLANT LINES ALL FAILING ON 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO 3500 HD AS WELL AS ON 2003 GMC SIERRA 2500 HD. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE CAUSED NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF TIME TO REPAIR AND REPLAFE, AND TODAY THERE WAS A BRAKE FAILUER ON THE 2004 HD GMC THAT ALMOST RESULTED IN DEADLY ACCIDENT. THESE LINES SHOULD NOT HAVE RUSTED AND WE HAVE ISSUES WITH BOTH VEHICLES ON THE SAME LINES. THESE VEHICLES WERE PRODUCTED WITH INADEQUATE PARTS FOR ALL LINES ON THE UNDERSIDE OF VEHICLE. THERE SHOULD NOT BE 1,000 PLUS COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS REGARDING THE RUSTING OF THESE COMPONENTS, OF WHICH HAVE CUASED SEVERAL MAJOR ANMD LIFE SAFETY ISSUES. THE BRAKE LINES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF ANY VEHICLE AND TO HAVE THEM RUST THRU TO THE DEGREE OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPENENTS THE MANUFACTURER INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES. BETWEEN OUR 2004 CHEVY AND 2003 GMC TRUCKS WE HAVE REPLACED ALL OF THE TRANMISSION COLLANT LINES, OIL ENGINE LINES AND READY TO CHANGE BRAKE LINES IN 1 TRUCK WITH THE OTHER TRUCK HAVING TO ALSO BE REPLACED DUE TO RUST. THE ENTIRE UNDERSIDE COMPENENTS ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. *TR
