Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Premature rear disc brake failure--2003 chevrolet silverado, 31750 miles-rear disc rotors rusted, pitted, flaking. dealer replaced rotors and discs at my cost. even though rotors are obviously suffering from weather and salt, dealer insists that the calipers still work, therefore it is not a warranty issue. i contend that the literal disintegration of the rotors caused the rapid wear of the brake pads. when inspected in august of 2005, i was told the pads were at 75% thickness. the truck still has 6 months left on the manuf. warranty. *nm
