Consumer Description

BOUGHT 2003 S-10 V6 ONE YEAR AGO.(11/2009) TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 45000K ON IT BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE SQUEAL AND LOCK UP ALL THE TIME. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES WORKED ON 4X'S BY A GM CERTIFIED MECHANIC, THE PROBLEM STILL IS NOT FIXED. I HAVE TURNED ROTORS, CHANGED BRAKE PADS, LOOSENED BACK BRAKES, ETC. NOTHING WORKS! IF IT IS RAINING OUTSIDE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO SKIDDING INTO CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. AS A MATTER OF FACT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ALL THE TIME DUE TO SKIDDING/BRAKES LOCKING UP/INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. MECHANIC HAS LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYTHING IS MENTIONED ABOUT WHAT TO DO NEXT. I HAVE LOOKED AND LOOKS LIKE MORE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE SPENT ALREADY CLOSE TO $700 ON THIS BRAKE PROBLEM. ONE DIAGNOSIS IS TO REPLACE ROTORS BUT I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING GM DOES SINCE MORE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND THE SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE. SOMEONE COULD BE HURT OR EVEN KILLED. *TR
