2008 Chevrolet Express 2500

I AM 62 YEARS OLD AND SELF EMPLOYED. I DO APPLIANCE SERVICE AND DRIVE OVER 25,000 MILES EVERY YEAR. I HAVE OWNED MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS. A YEAR AGO I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 CHEVROLET G2500 3/4 TON SERVICE VAN. I HAVE NEVER OWNED ANY OTHER VEHICLE WHERE I WAS MORE PRONE TO HITTING THE GAS PEDAL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO APPLY THE BRAKES. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAVE FOUND MYSELF APPLYING BOTH THE BRAKES AND GAS AT THE SAME TIME. I FEEL THE PROBLEMS IS THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE TWO PEDALS AND THAT THEY ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE SAME HEIGHT. I HAVE BECOME VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT FIND THAT UNLESS I AM EXTREMELY ALERT, IT STILL HAPPENS. I FEAR THAT AT SOME POINT, I WILL FIND MYSELF IN SOME KIND OF ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS AND REALLY AM FEARFUL OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF I NEED TO APPLY THE BRAKES IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET EXPRESS 2500. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKES MADE A DRAGGING SOUND THAT COULD NOT BE CORRECTED. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THEY CLEANED AND LUBED THE BRAKES. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE DEALER THEN REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS, DISCS, AND ROTORS. AFTER TWO WEEKS, THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN AND THE NOISE WAS STILL PRESENT. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO LOSE BRAKING CONTROL AND THE DEALER CANNOT DETERMINE A SOLUTION TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 1,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,600. UPDATED 03-04-09 *BF UPDATED 03/04/09. *JB
