NHTSA Complaint #10135018 — 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE

2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE EMERGENCY BRAKE WORE OUT PRE-MATURELY AT 18,000 MILES OF FREEWAY DRIVING. ALWAYS PARKED ON LEVEL GROUND AND KEPT IN A GARAGE. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID BRAKES WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. THEY WANTED OVER $300.00 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE SHOES IN THE SEPARATE EMERGENCY BRAKE DRUMS. THIS IS MORE THAN A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB ON THAT CAR TYPICALLY COSTS. *NM
