I AM BEING TOLD BY BOTH THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK AND AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE I TRUST, THAT I NEED TO REPLACE MY BRAKE ROTORS AS THEY ARE RUSTED AND PITTED TO THE POINT OF NOT FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED AND COULD EVENTUALLY BE DANGEROUS AS THEY DETERIORATE. THE DEALER IS NOT SAYING THAT BUT IS RECOMMENDING REPLACEMENT AS MY RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH THIS TRUCK IS A 2000 WITH ONLY 40,546 MILES. THE INDEPENDENT HAS TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN A NUMBER OF GM TRUCKS OF THIS AGE WITH SERIOUSLY PITTED ROTORS AS THE METAL ALLOWS RUST PITTING TO EAT THROUGH THE METAL THIS COULD BECOME A SERIOUS HAZARD AND SEEMS TO BE AN ISOLATED PROBLEM TO THIS MODEL ( SILVERADO) AND 2000 AT LEAST AND PERHAPS OTHER YEARS. SINCE THIS HAS NOT BEEN A PROBLEM ON ANY OF MY OTHER VEHICLES, I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH GM SPECIFICATIONS OF THE METAL FOR THESE ROTORS. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS AN EXPENSE THAT SHOULD BE MINE AS THE METAL DEFECT WAS THE MANUFACTURERS FAULT. *NM

HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM THE BRAKES ARE HORRIBLE, I HAVE EVEN TOOK THE TRUCK TO BE WORKED ON SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY STILL ARE NO BETTER. WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING THE PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR AND WILL NOT SLOW DOWN MUCH. I HAVE TO BRAKE AT LEAST 2 BLOCKS BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP AT AN ACCIDENT, RESULTING IN TAKING THE DITCH IF NEED BE. MY FAMILY DOES NOT TRAVEL IN THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THIS REASON. I HAVE TO REPLACE TIRES EVERY YEAR AND REPLACE BRAKE PADS AND SHOES EVERY 6 MONTHS OR SO. *NM

OUR 2000 CHEVY TRUCK LOST ALL BRAKES IN A PERIOD OF ONE WEEK FROM THE START OF UNUSUAL SERVICE. ACCORDING TO CHEVY SERVICE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE CULPRIT PART WAS THE ABS SENSOR WHICH RUSTS LEADING TO RAPID BRAKE FAILURE. BRAKES WERE SLIGHTLY INTERMITTENT AND WENT TO TOTAL LOSS W/O ANY APPRECIABLE LAG TIME.*AK

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) WAS SO SENSITIVE THAT DRIVING OVER A BUMP CAUSED THE BRAKES TO RELEASE AND IT WAS HARD TO REGAIN OF THE VEHICLE, ON ONE OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING OVER A BUMP WHILE BRAKING, THE ABS KICKED IN AND RELEASED THE BRAKES, REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TT *JB *TS
