According to Edmunds no injuries or deaths were reported because of this defect. This was something that Chevy has offered to fix or replace free of charge.
“The addition of the new MTA v3 to our marine product program really completes our offering to the tug segment and provides a leaner, simpler and more efficient integrated solution to our customers,” said Jorgen Karlsson, Caterpillar Marine’s Tug and Salvage Segment manager.
The Automotive Clutch Master Cylinder market can be split based on product types, major applications, and important regions.
However, the plaintiffs claim the X62 extended warranty failed to fix the clutch problems and ignores the effect of the contaminated hydraulic fluid. According to the plaintiffs, if the hydraulic fluid is contaminated, all clutch system components are susceptible to damage and requires that all components within the system be replaced.
" Truck is a 2014 F150 5.0V8 with ~50K miles. While vehicle was in motion at highway speeds ~65mph, brake fluid warning light comes on. I test the brakes by gently depressing the brake pedal, but pedal continues with no resistance nearly to the floor. Brakes are almost completely ineffective and would have zero ability to stop the vehicle in an emergency situation. I throw on the hazard lights and cut to the shoulder and have to manually downshift the transmission to slow the vehicle. Situation could have been much more serious as I was in moderate traffic. I popped the hood and immediately notice the brake master cylinder reservoir is completely empty. After inspecting all brake lines front and rear and checking all bleeder screws are closed, no visual leaks are present. As I was 100 miles from home driving my wife and child home at night, I had someone bring me some brake fluid to top off the reservoir. After filling the reservoir and bleeding the front brakes, brakes seem to stay tight. I drive ~10 miles and the brake fluid warning light flashes again at highway speeds. Pull over again and notice zero fluid again. Visually inspect all lines, master cylinder, booster, etc., no evidence of leaks. Top off the reservoir to limp the vehicle to a safer location. Notice the engine starting to sputter and fluid completely gone in another ~10 miles. Obviously the master cylinder has failed and is leaking into the booster which is affecting the vacuum in the booster. These are the exact same symptons listed in safety recall notice 16S24/ NHTSA recall 16V-345, however this does not cover 5.0 V8 motors only 3.5L ecoboost despite the same brake components being used. So far over a quarter million trucks have been recalled. Apparently newer 2015/16 F150S are experiencing similiar issues as well evidence of a large defect in newer model F150 braking components." – Oct 7, 2017
1. Clutch. The clutch is weak. Get rid of the judder spring and small plate.2. Radiators. It overheats and boils water like a teapot as dirt gets stuck in the radiator guards.3. Exhaust. Can’t complain about the horsepower, but we don’t give any of the credit to the twice pipes. We also don’t like how far the head pipe sticks out. Some riders hit it when they put their leg out.4. Handling. It likes to turn but is very busy between corners.5. Weight. 238 pounds is exactly 15 pounds too much.6. Sound. On the 2-meter-max sound test, it blew 117.5 dB. That’s loud, but it passed the 94 dB Amateur sound test.7. Setup. We never had as much trouble getting a chassis to work in conjunction with the engine and suspension. This is a very sensitive bike.8. Forks. The fork aren’t as soft as the KX450 forks, yet they don’t have good bottoming resistance. Nobody likes to feel that harsh bottoming sensation.
In terms of lane departure, that is a feature for drivers who are low on the spectrum of driving ability and attention. People who are watching their phones more than the road.
It is now clear why the GM mid size trucks have been "Mall Rated". Best be careful on the Mall speed bumps. I wonder if GM will recall or as one of GM’s said weesel its way out.
My 2004 F150 had discs on all four corners along with ABS. You couldn’t stop on a slippery slope for love or money. The ABS would just slip-grip-slip-grip-slip-grip along.
A week earlier, the customer had brought in his 1990 Nissan pickup because the clutch pedal was going all the way to the floor and would not come up.
My point is that if someone wants driver assist features, then they can pay for it on their own vehicle. Passively forcing it on others through regulation is wrong.
The system is activated when the Colorado is put into reverse gear and is traveling below 5 mph (8km/h). While backing up under these conditions, the driver is alerted to a potential impact via the vehicle’s driver information center (DIC, pictured below), which shows the location (left, right or center) for rear-detected objects close to the vehicle. The system also delivers a series of audible beeps depending on the distance of the vehicle and a detected object.
