NHTSA Complaint #10596864 — 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500

THE AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT AND IS LIT AS WELL AS THE SERVICE CENTER SAYING IT NEEDS SERVICE, ALSO HAS THE SAME BRAKE PROBLEMS THE 2007 AND UP SILVERADOS WHERE RECALLED FOR WITH THE FAILURE OF THE FRONT ABS SENSORS. THE ABS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AT LOW SPEED BECAUSE EVERYTIME YOU STOP THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATES AND PULSES UNTIL STOPPED AT 15 TO 20 MPH AND INCREASES STOPPING DISTANCE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS BECAUSE OF A SENSOR FAILURE IN THE FRONT END AREA AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. FROM WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET THESE ARE WELL KNOWN SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE MODEL TRUCKS. THE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF BRAKE LINES THAT HAVE CORRODED, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON FOR THE EVER WELL KNOWN PROBLEM OF THE VACUUM SOLENOID NEAR THE FULL TANK. THESE ARE CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THIS YR AND OTHER MODELS AT GM. THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
