| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The emergency brake has been used very rarely, but with just over 40k on it they eventually faded out enough to fail inspection. the dealership advised me that i must have drove with it on. i never used it, yet they collected over $200 to repair a defect. over time i noticed the tension progressively weakened. rusting on the rotors is extremely common, yet gm ignores the problem. i was told by the dealership on multiple occasions that it was from condensation. it causes premature failure of the brake pads & a rotor replace as a resolution(turning alone doesn't remove the rust). my other family member have had all the exact issues with the same type trucks(three different 2000 gmc/chevy). my rotors will be replaced in the summer, however my braking is reduced due to rust wearing the pads unevenly. *jb |
