NHTSA complaint: 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DT: THE CONTACT OWNED A 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION DUE TO ABS BRAKE FAILURE. THE CONSUMER HIT A BRICK WALL. THERE WAS AN OPEN NHTSA INVESTIGATION, PE05020. THE CONSUMER KNEW SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME TYPE OF BRAKE PROBLEM . THIS WILL COST HIM $900 DOLLARS FOR REPAIRS, AND HE DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR PARTS AND REPAIRS. THEREFORE, HE NEEDED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE INVESTIGATION. THE DEALER SAID TO EITHER FIX IT OR TO PULL THE FUSE OUT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HAD THIS PROBLEM, AND HE JUST GOT A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PARKING BRAKE TODAY.*AK *JB
