SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

1 complaint

THE LAST FEW MONTHS I HAD NOTICED I HAD TO APPLY A LOT MORE FOOT PRESSURE TO STOP MY 2001 GMC. AN INSPECTION SHOWED THAT AT 48,000 MILES THE REAR INSIDE BRAKE PADS WERE COMPLETELY GONE AND BOTH ROTORS WERE LIKE CORNFLAKES. I HAD NOT HEARD ANY INDICATION FROM THE CHIRPERS THAT I HAD UNUSUAL WEAR. I HAVE DRIVEN ALL MY GM TRUCKS AT LEAST 90,000 MILES AND NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES. I NOW AM AWARE THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE AT AS LOW AS 30,000 MILES. SOMEONE SHOULD BE NOTIFYING OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM VIA A RECALL OR MAIL, THAT THIS NEW DISC BRAKE ON THE REAR OF GM TRUCKS DOESN'T LAST LIKE THE DRUM BRAKES DID, AND BE PREPARED TO SHELL OUT $800.00 TO REPAIR THEIR FAULTY ENGINEERING.*AK
