| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: #1 2001 silverado when stopping gradually once i slow to less than 10 mph the antilock brake system kicks in causing it to take a much greater distance to stop than what it normally takes. when i asked my dealer about this they said that they haven't heard of this problem. however while doing some research on the internet i've found a huge amount of complaints about this. #2 with about 40000 miles on my truck the rear brakes started making some noise, so i pulled the wheels off to have a look and found that both rear rotors were chewed up beyond being serviceable. when i took the brakes apart i found that the brake pads still had plenty of material on them but they just destroyed the rotors as if the rotors were made out of a steel that was too soft. so $350.00 for just the parts is what this cost me. i spoke to my local dealer about this and they told me that they haven't heard of this before. again when i looked on the internet i found a bunch of complaints of the same thing. *nm |
