Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 1999 chevy 2 door 4x4 blazer on 1/8/02. i discovered in march of 2002 that the brakes were "fried" everything was burned. the dealership from which i purchased the vehicle replaced the brake pads and rotors, both front and rear. in march of 2003 i had my brakes checked by a chevrolet dealership. the results were my front and rear brakes were warped and needed replaced. i got the brakes fixed. on 7/19/04. i went to have my vehicle serviced and i had my brakes inspected once again. the service technician stated that my brakes were "shot!!" my pads are at 20% and my rotors need replaces. i feel this is very excessive regarding the replacement of brakes within 2 1/2 years of owning this vehicle. i feel its a serious safety issue and needs to be looked into. i am very nervous for my safety when driving this vehicle, because it seems the brakes are going out in a short amount of time. *jb
