Consumer Description

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH 43,000 MILES. AS A RESULT OF THE REAR ROTORS ON THE TRUCK RUSTING AND FALLING APART, I HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS. DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THE PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY, THE PASSENGER SIDE ROTOR HAD TO BE CUT OFF WITH A TORCH!. *JB
