Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have two apparent defects on my 2004 chevrolet silverado. the truck was purchased in december 2003 and has 15.000 miles on it. i have noticed rusting brake rotors and poor ability to stop the truck. i noticed rust on the brake rotors inside and out. i have approached my dealer with the scenario but since the truck is out of warranty by time (3 years) there is nothing other than a discount that he would offer to fix. i have read quite a bit on this issue and it appears to be a pervasive safety problem. i even have a co worker who has the exact same scenario...same year and same problem. i have decided to repair myself but i believe this is a design defect. *ak
