Consumer Description

REAR BRAKES ON MY '02 TAHOE STARTED GRINDING A LITTLE WHILE AFTER BUYING THE CAR NEW IN FEB. '02. TOOK THE WHEELS OFF,PADS SEEMED TO BE FINE WITH LITTLE OR NO WEAR. TOOK THE REAR ROTORS OFF TO FIND ONE EMERGENCY BRAKE PAD ON EACH SIDE WORN TO METAL! REPLACED BOTH ROTORS AND PAD SETS WITH THE NEWLY RE-DESIGNED RETAINER CLIPS. MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR WITH OUR FOUR CHILDREN SO I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT STARTED BUT IT SEEMS EVERY TIME SHE COMES HOME AND I'M THERE IN THE GARAGE THE REAR WHEELS ARE TOO HOT TO TOUCH. SEEMS TO ME THE SAME PROBLEM IS OCCURRING AGAIN. AFTER ALL THE BLOGS/COMPLAINTS I'VE READ, GM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL IN EFFECT! DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH THE DEALER, THEIR REPLY WAS THAT THEY HADN'T HEARD OF THE PROBLEM(ALTHOUGH I HAD TO GO TO NAPA TO GET THE PARTS BECAUSE THEY WERE OUT). *TR
