| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 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 |
