Consumer Description

BOTH FRONT BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE WORE EVENLY, PAPER THIN IN 8000 MILES - THIS IS ABNORMAL SINCE MY OLD ASTRO WENT MORE THAN20,000 MILES AND STILL HAD PLENTY LEFT WHEN I CHANGED THEM - BOTH WHEELS SPIN FREELY WITHOUT BINDING - MY BEST GUESS IS THAT THE BACK BRAKES MAY NOT BE GRABBING (OR THE FRONTS MAY BE GRABBING TOO HARD - CHEVROLET IS TRYING TO BLAME MY DRIVING - THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE IF THE LINING WEARS OFF IT WILL PULL TO THAT SIDE WHILE BRAKING AND POSSIBLY CAUSE A CRASH - I DO NOT RIDE MY BRAKES AND DO ALL HIGHWAY DRIVING - BRAKES ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST LONGER THAN 8000 MILES. *AK
