Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I brought my 2003 chevrolet truck in for an annual inspection and they informed me that the rear brakes (rotors, pads and emergency brake pads) needed to be replaced. the truck has 35,000 miles on it and the rear rotors are heavily rusted and are crumbling away. the disc brake pads are also completely worn out. there was no accident but i believe this is a significant safety issue and is the result of defective parts on these vehicles. i have seen many other comments on the internet from other silverado owners indicating that they have the same problem. i believe that chevrolet should recall these rotors and pads and correct the problem before there are serious accidents from failing brakes. *nm
