Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: # 1-july 05---e brake and foot brake went to the floor boards..rear rotors replaced because they were rotted,000 miles 3 and 1/2 years..inferior metal was used.........#2 was told by chevy i must anticipate all stops and turns..step on brakes sooner burn them out quicker..7/30/05 3 people in truck & the ac on,driving in jersey, almost had three hits. truck wouldn't stop under quick stops or last minute turns by people in front of me. found out the 2003 on up have hydraulic in stead of vacuum. why did i not get a recall or a retro fit notice to have the brake system work off hydraulic and have the rotors replaced because of inferior metal..chevy charged me $ 100-plus for a diagnostic that made no mention about rotted rotors , but for $500 plus they did say they would cut the rear rotors new pads and shoes-- because the system is called brake in a hat!!!!!!!*jb
