WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL ROAD BRAKES FAILED, HAD TO DOWNSHIFT AND USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP TRUCK. I FOUND OUT AFTER INVESTIGATING, THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED SO BADLY THAT THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE BLEW OUT THE BRAKELINE TO THE FRONT DRIVERSIDE WHEEL. TURNS OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON CHEVY TRUCKS AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL YET !!! DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET HURT OR DIE BEFORE THIS DESIGN FLAW GETS RECALLED? THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS A MAJOR SAFETY COMPONENT OF ANY VEHICLE, WHY IS THE NHTSA NOT ACTING ON THIS? THE ENTIRE BRAKE LINE SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACED BEFORE THE TRUCK CAN BE DRIVEN AGAIN. *TR - Oct 2, 2007Seats

1995 CHEVROLET PICKUP WITH 55,000 MILES DEVELOPED A NOISE IN THE STEERING AND I COULD FEEL VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND FLOOR OF VEHICLE. A LOCAL MECHANIC ISOLATED THE PROBLEM TO BE LOOSE STEERING COLUMN. THE PROBLEM APPEARED TO AN APPARENT LOOSE BUSHING UNDER THE DASH. THE MECHANIC SEARCHED THE NHTSA SAFETY RECALL LIST AN NOTICED IT MAY BE A FACTORY RECALL AND RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT TO A DEALER. THE GM DEALER INDICATED THE WAS A RECALL FOR THESE 95/96 GM PICKUPS BUT IT DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER. MY VIN IS [XXX]. SINCE THE PROBLEM WITH MY PICKUP IS THE SAME AS DESCRIBED IN THE NHTSA SAFETY RECALL NOTICE WHY WAS MY VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED? *AK UPDATED 07/25/2012 *JS… - Jul 6, 2000Structure › Body
