Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO $WD EXTENDED CAB SHORT BED TRUCK. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW BY ME. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS 39,950 MILES ON IT. SINCE APPROX 12,000 MILES I NOTICED LONGER STOPPING DISTANCES. I TOOK IT TO SELLING THE DEALER & WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. THIS WEEKEND I INSTALLED NEW AC DELCO FRONT BRAKE PADS & INSTALLED NEW WAGNER ROTORS. UPON REMOVING THE ROTORS I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A ISSUE WITH THE OLD ORIGINAL NEVER CUT ROTORS. THE ROTOR SURFACE WAS DETERIORATED HENCE CAUSING THE PROBLEM WITH LOSS OF STOPPING DISTANCE. NOTE: THE BRAKE PADS WERE THE ORIGINAL GM. I AM A STATE CERTIFIED INSPECTION MECHANIC. AFTER SURFING THE INTERNET & SEEING AL OF THE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER SILVERADO OWNERS I COULDN'T HELP BUT TO FILE A COMPLAINT. IF THIS WAS ADDRESSED EARLIER MAYBE I WOULD OF FELT MORE COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE MORE. AS YOU WILL SEE THE USUAL LOW MILES WE DROVE OTHER VEHICLES INSTEAD. *JB
