2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Service Brakes Problems

The emergency brake does not work properly. It automatically comes on while I am driving almost causing me to have a accident. Please, fix!!!!

ABS kicks in constantly at low speeds in dry conditions. This causes longer stopping distances. The ABS grinds or vibrates interfering with normal braking situations. Many near miss collisions at low speeds. The manufacturer should be responsible and replace all the ABS sensors. I purchased this truck brand new in 2002.

THE THROTTLE CABLE MAKES CONTACT AND RUB THROUGH THE FLEXIBLE PRESSURIZED FUEL LINE CREATING A PINHOLE LEAK OF NATURAL GAS. I SMELL GAS INSiDE CAB. CAUSES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON

ABS SYSTEM WILL ACTIVATE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES WITHOUT CAUSE SUCH AS A WET SURFACE

HARD BREAK LINES ARE FULLY CORRODED AND NEED FULL REPLACEMENT AFTER A BREAK LINE FAILURE. LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE, CURRENTLY 65K, VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MILD CLIMATE OF NC AND SC SINCE 2002 WHERE SNOW AND SALT IS INFREQUENT. NEVER DRIVEN IN COASTAL AREA. ONLY RECENTLY DRIVEN ACROSS COUNTRY, WHERE FAILURE OCCURRED. THANKFULLY AT SLOW SPEEDS.

BRAKE LINES STARTED LEAKING BRAKE FLUID OUT OF NOWHERE. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE BRAKE PETAL SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN DEATH. I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN I DISCOVERED THIS ISSUE. HAD I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED I MAY NOT BE HERE TO COMPLAIN. RUSTED BRAKE LINES IS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS ISSUE.

ABS KICKS IN AT LOW SPEED

WHEN WE BOUGHT TRUCK I CHECKED VIN AND ONLY THE TAILGATE RECALL CAME UP BUT LISTED MY TRUCK BEING A CHEVY 800 MODEL, WELL COUPLE WEEKS AGO OUR TRUCK WOULDN'T BRAKE WHILE PARKING MAKING A LEFT INTO A RESTAURANT AND THE TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP AND HIT THE RESTAURANT WINDOW!!! WHEN I CHECKED JUST OUR EXACT VEHICLE 15 PLUS RECALLS CAME UP WITH THIS PARTICULAR DEFECT LISTED, PLEASE HELP ADVISE. THANK THE PARKERD

WHILE SLOWING DOWN COMING TO A STOP - NO BRAKES. CHECKED EVERYTHING. SUSPECT POWER BOOSTER. THIS STARTED SLOWLY ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO. TODAY IT ACTUALLY WOULD NOT STOP AND I ALMOST HIT THE FIRE HYDRANT.

BRAKE LINES RUSTED THROUGH TO POINT OF FAILURE

MY BRAKE LINES ON MY SILVERADO HAVE BEEN REPLACED 5 DIFFERENT LINES IN 4 YEARS THE TRUCK HAS 90,000 MILES ON IT AND IN THE LAST MONTH 3 TIMES IVE LOST BRAKES THE GUY WHO FIXES MY BRAKE LINES TELLS ME THE LINES ARE RUSTED OUT EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, HE TOLD ME HE CANT TELL BY SIGHT WHEN THEY WILL FAIL CAUSE THEY LOOK OK BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE, I'VE READ THIS IS A ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLE'S IVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR (KNOCK ON WOOD) BUT THE COST AND THE STRESS OF HAVING YOUR BRAKES FAIL IS UNACCEPTABLE SEEING THE LINES ARE NOT UP TO NORMAL STANDARDS, SOMEONE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE

IN JULY OF 2018, MY 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAD MAJOR BRAKE FAILURE AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES, IT WENT TOTALLY TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP, BLOWING RIGHT THROUGH RED LIGHT. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE MY BRAKE LINE RUSTED THROUGH, AND ALL THE BRAKES LINES, AS WELL AS THE FUEL LINE IS TOTALLY RUSTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON IN THIS CHEVROLET / GM MODEL ERA. HE SAID IF ALL HE WERE TO DO IS REPLACE BRAKE LINES IN THIS 1999 TO 2006 ERA, IT WAS ENOUGH TO KEEP HIS BUSINESS BOOMING. WHAT SHOCKING STRUCK ME IS THAT HE TOLD ME THEY ALL FAIL UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, ALONG THE FRAME, BEFORE THE ABS MODULE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. MYSELF, AS WELL AS OTHERS COULD...

THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY DESIGN FLAW IN THE 1999-2002 BRAKE SYSTEM. THE FRONT TIRES THROUGH THE SALT AND GRIME FROM THE ROADS ONTO THE BRAKE LINES WHERE CHEVROLET HAS LOCATED THEM IN THE DESIGN. THIS CAUSES THE BRAKE LINES TO CORRODE AND BURST DURING DRIVING. MINE HAVE NOW BURST FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE LAST 5 YEARS. THE FIRST TIME IN 2013 I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35-40 MPH WHEN I WENT TO MAKE A RH TURN AND THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR. THIS TIME I HAD WENT TO A LOCAL GAS STATION AND WAS ON THE WAY HOME WHEN I STOPPED TO TALK TO A NEIGHBOR AND ONCE AGAIN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I DRIVE THE TRUCK VERY LITTLE SO I HAVE ONLY PUT JUST OVER 17,000 MILES ON THE NEW SET OF BRAKE LINES THAT I HAD INSTALLED BY A CHEVROLET DEALER...

I WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEED ON A STREET THAT IS 25MH AS I BREAK TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN MY ABS ACTIVATED. ALMOST CAUSED ME A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP SO I HAD TO BREAK SO HARD MY BUT WAS ACTUALLY OFF OF THE SEAT. AND THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN SO NOW I HAVE TO TAKE THE ABS FUSE OUT TO DEACTIVATE MY ABS.

TAKATA RECALL - HAVE BEEN STRANDED NUMEROUS TIMES AS IT HAS APPEARED TO BE THE FUEL PUMP NOT GETTING GAS TO START THE CAR. SOMETIME CAN HEAR PUMP RUNNING AS I HAVE REPLACE 3-4 PUMPS SINCE 2012 OR 13. SOME TIME BEATING UNDER TANK HELPS. THERE SEEM TO BE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. SECURITY LIGHT FLASHING AND START SOMETIME WHEN IT IS RESET. SOUNDS WONDERFUL WHEN IT RUNS. CAN IT BE THE COMPUTER? TOWED TO A SAFE LOCATION AFTER NOT STARTING AND DIAGNOSTIC TECHNICIAN SHOW 10% FUEL PRESSURE. I PARKED WENT IN TO MAKE A PAYMENT AT A BUSINESS AND WOULD NOT START FOR 4 DAYS

EXPERIENCING UNWANTED ABS ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEEDS ON DRY ROADS WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND/OR STOPPING, WITH OR WITH OUT PRESSING ON THE BREAKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT BEING REPAIRED PER THE RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,475. *TT CONSUMER STATED HE HAD A NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS WITH THE BRAKES. HAD ONE ACCIDENT WHERE THEY FAILED TO DO THEIR JOBS. UPDATED 8/7/18*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SHIFTED TO DRIVE TO PARK THE VEHICLE BACK IN THE DRIVEWAY, BUT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK AGAIN. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE UTILIZED. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER THE DRIVEWAY. THE CONTACT LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS HARD TO DETERMINE WHICH OF THE BRAKE LINES WAS LEAKING FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (KENDRED CHEVROLET IN SMITHFIELD, MISSOURI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 7 MPH, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND PULSATED UNTIL THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE STARTED INTERMITTENTLY APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS AGO AND HAS BECOME WORSE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED DAILY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGES AT SLOW SPEEDS CAUSING INABILITY TO STOP. THE ROAD SURFACE DOES NOT MATTER, WET, DRY, DIRT OR PAVED, IT IS A FAILING SYSTEM. THIS WAS A RANDOM PROBLEM, NOW IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THE SYSTEM WILL MAKE A RATCHETING SOUND THEN A GRINDING BEFORE AS YOU COME TO A STOP. YOU HAVE TO BE READY TO LET OFF THE BRAKE AND REAPPLY PRESSURE HOPING IT WORKS. I LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WITH SMALL CHILDREN RUNNING AROUND EVERYWHERE. I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THESE BRAKES FAILED ME WHEN I REALLY NEEDED THEM.

ALL BRAKE LINE FOR ENTIRE TRUCK HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF RUST ISSUES, AS WELL AS REAR BACKING PLATES WHICH HAD RUSTED COMPLETELY AWAY. ABS SENSORS ARE ACTIVATING AT LOW SPEED ON DRY PAVEMENT CAUSING TRUCK TO TAKE LONGER SPACE TO STOP

BRAKE LINES ARE SEVERELY CORRODED. CAUSING PIN HOLE LEAKS. LINES ARE SO SEVERELY CORRODED THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX EXCEPT TO REPLACE ALL BAKE LINES. THIS IS A EXTERME COSTLY REPAIR. DEALER SHIP QUOTED A MINIMUM $1700.00 BUT COULD BE HIGHER. LEAKS OCCURR WHILE DRIVING THEN APPLYING BRAKES DUE TO CORROSION CAUSE WEAK SPOTS IN LINES. LEAKS ONLY OCCURR WHILE DRIVING THEN APPLYING BRAKES THAT CAUSE INCREASE IN PRESSURE IN LINES. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 6 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO WORK WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 251,000.

CAME OUT OF A RESTAURANT PUT FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR HAD TRUCK TOWED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD BRAKE LINES NEED REPLACING AT A COST OF 1100.00 DOLLARS. JUST GLAD THAT I WASN'T DRIVING AS THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

STARTED VEHICLE EARLY ONE MORNING FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY, ALLOWED IT TO WARM UP FOR ABOUT ONE (1) MINUTE AND THEN PLACED IT INTO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF DRIVEWAY. AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT SIX (6) FEET IN REVERSE ATTEMPTED TO STOP, PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO FLOOR WITH NO RESISTANCE AT ALL AND VEHICLE STOPPED AFTER ABOUT SIX (6) FEET. THERE WAS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. NO PRIOR INDICATIONS, NO DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A SMALL PUDDLE OF LIQUID ON THE GROUND NEAR THE REAR OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. AFTER HAVING VEHICLE TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE REPAIR SHOP THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD COMPLETED CORRODED. TOTAL REPAIR SHOP COST TO REPLACE ALL BRAKE LINES WAS $810.36. THIS DID NOT INCLUDE THE COST OF THE TOW TRUCK TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR FACILITY. I AM...

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE ON A BUSY SUBURBAN STREET. I WAS INTENDING TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT AND HAD NO BRAKES. PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. NO COLLISON. TRUCK NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP. COST WAS $872.73.

WE JUST PURCHASED A USED 2002 CHEVY SILVERADO ON 9/25, TOOK IT FOR A SAFETY INSPECTION AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD BURST AND BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING. THESE REPAIRS ARE GOING TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE AND I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIRS, SINCE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE LINES ON VEHICLES OF THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL.

TRAVELLING FROM PA TO CAPE HATTERAS, NC. TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE OF ALL 4 WHEELS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC ON US 158 S BYPASS IN KILL DEVIL HILLS. MANAGED TO SWERVE ONTO RIGHT BERM GRASSY AREA AND SHIFT TO LOW AND USE HAND BRAKE TO STOP. HAD TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. ONE WAS A 2 YEAR OLD. HAD TO DRIVE 42 MILES WITH NO BRAKES TO REACH DESTINATION. MECHANIC IN RODANTHE HAD TO REPLACE ALL BRAKE LINES AND MASTER CYLINDER. BRAKE LINES WERE TOTALLY RUSTED OUT. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON I-95 AT 70 MPH WE WOULD PROBABLY ALL HAVE BEEN KILLED.

FUEL AND BREAK LINES COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. FUEL LINE BROKE WHILE REPLACING FUEL FILTER. NECESSITATED REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE FUEL LINE SYSTEM. BREAK LINE BROKE WHILE DRIVING AROUND SAME TIME LOSING ALL BREAKING FUNCTIONS. NEEDED TO TURN OFF ROAD AND KILL MOTOR TO STOP. ALL BREAK LINES NEED REPLACEMENT. I SPENT $2500 FIXING.

I WAS PULLING MY 2000 LB BOAT TO THE LAKE SAT. WITH MY 2002 SILVERADO 1500 . I MADE IT TO THE LAUNCH RAMP OK BUT WHEN I WENT TO LAUNCH THE BOAT I COULDN'T STOP ROLLING DOWN THE RAMP [ NO BRAKES) I WAS ONLY ABLE TO SAVE THE TRUCK FROM BECOMING A SUBMARINE BY THROWING IT IN DRIVE AND HITTING THE GAS. I DROVE INTO THE PARKING LOT TO FIND THE BRAKE LINE RUSTED OUT . HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC . I READ ONLINE ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH THE LINES AND THE FACT THERE WAS A BACKUP. TRUST ME WHEN I SAY WHILE PULLING A BOAT IT WOULD HAVE NEVER STOPPED ME. I'VE HAD CARS LONGER THIS IN MY 40+ YEARS OF DRIVING ANY NEVER HAD A BRAKE LINE FAIL FROM RUST. I WOULD HAVE LIKED A HEADS UP ON THIS...

BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES ARE VERY RUSTED ALSO THE DRIVE SHAFT AND ABS BRACKET 2 BRAKE LINES HAVE RUSTED THROUGH WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK HAS ONLY ABOUT 100,000 MILES IT IS VERY DANGEROUS

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WITH HARDLY ANY BRAKES.I HAD TO GO ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID MAJOR CRASH . WAS VERY SHOCKED AND HEART WAS RACING . I NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN BEFORE IN ALL THE YEARS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT HOME BY USING LOWER GEARS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. WHEN I FINALLY GOT HOME I LOOKED TO SEE WHAT THE HECK WAS GOING ON AND SAW THAT MY BRAKE LINES HAD CORRODED THRU AND THE FLUID WAS COMING OUT. I WENT ON LINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND SAW THERE WERE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I CALLED SEVERAL PLACES AND THE COST TO REPLACE ALL MY BRAKE LINES WAS AROUND 1200 - 1700. I ENDED UP GETTING THEM...

AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, RUNNING INTERSECTIONS AND PARKING SPOTS. CAUSING NEAR ACCIDENTS. II LEARNED THIS WAS RELATED TO BRAKE ANTILOCK SYSTEM.
