Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In december of 2005 i brought my 2002 silverado to the dealer for a recall on abs sensors. i was contacted and told i needed brake rotors and pads on all four wheels. i asked them how a truck with only 10,200 miles that had been garaged since purchase could require $900 worth of brakes. first i was told it was due to inactivity. after explaining i have a 1976 gmc ck10 parked beside the silverado and it did not require such repair, i was told new brake materials are inferior to the older brake materials. i suspect there may be faulty materials used in gmc truck brakes circa 2002 and seek you advice on the matter. thank you. *nm
