Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought my above described truck in oct. of 1998. since then i have had my front brakes replaced twice, had my rotors turned once and finally had to have the rotors replaced. i was told by chevrolet dealer mechanics and managers that chevrolet has an inadequate braking system for trucks that large. basically the braking system is not powerfull enough to have a long life span. it prematurely wears out and has to be replaced to often. *ak
