Consumer Description

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS BEEN USED VERY RARELY, BUT WITH JUST OVER 40K ON IT THEY EVENTUALLY FADED OUT ENOUGH TO FAIL INSPECTION. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME THAT I MUST HAVE DROVE WITH IT ON. I NEVER USED IT, YET THEY COLLECTED OVER $200 TO REPAIR A DEFECT. OVER TIME I NOTICED THE TENSION PROGRESSIVELY WEAKENED. RUSTING ON THE ROTORS IS EXTREMELY COMMON, YET GM IGNORES THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THAT IT WAS FROM CONDENSATION. IT CAUSES PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE PADS & A ROTOR REPLACE AS A RESOLUTION(TURNING ALONE DOESN'T REMOVE THE RUST). MY OTHER FAMILY MEMBER HAVE HAD ALL THE EXACT ISSUES WITH THE SAME TYPE TRUCKS(THREE DIFFERENT 2000 GMC/CHEVY). MY ROTORS WILL BE REPLACED IN THE SUMMER, HOWEVER MY BRAKING IS REDUCED DUE TO RUST WEARING THE PADS UNEVENLY. *JB
