2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO BRAKE PROBLEM. CONTACT STATES BRAKES PULSATED IN REAR ROTORS. BRAKE WERE HEAVILY CORRODED AND DEALER REPLACED REAR ROTORS. *BF THE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT SINCE THE USE OF ASBESTOS BRAKES HAD BEEN DISCONTINUED, BRAKE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE HAD BEEN REDUCED. THE DEALER WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THAT THE PAD MATERIAL FORMS DEPOSITS ON THE ROTORS CAUSING THE SURFACE TO BECOME LESS SMOOTH AND EVENTUALLY GIVING A PULSATING SENSATION LEADING TO POOR BRAKING PERFORMANCE. ON JULY 20, 2007 THE CONSUMER BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE PULSATING ISSUE AGAIN, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE BRAKE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO NON-USE, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER DISAGREED WITH THEIR FINDINGS, STATING THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. THE CONSUMER TOOK POSSESSION OF THE OLD ROTORS AND SOON DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR ROTORS WERE WORN TWICE AS HARD AS THE FRONT ROTORS THAT WERE ORIGINAL FOR THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE REAR BRAKES WERE PRODUCING THE MAJORITY OF STOPPING POWER ON THE VEHICLE. THE LEFT REAR DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. THE DEALER ORDERED A NEW LATCH *JB

I HAVE A 2003 CHEV. 2500 4X4 EST. CAB LONG BOX. IT HAS 18000 MILES ON IT. I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS AT 18000 MILES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A TRUCK OF THIS TYPE. (HEAVY DUTY). I ALSO HAD A DIM BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH, WHICH I HAD CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS IN THE DASH BOARD AND WOULD COST 400.00+ TO FIX. THE DEALER ALSO SAID THE STEERING WAS LOOSE AND THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE FACTORY WHEN INSTALLED, 250.00+ TO FIX. WHAT KIND OF PRODUCT ARE THEY MAKING? *NM

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR ON MY 2003 SILVERADO HD2500. I CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH OUR VEHICLES.

I STARTED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE HOME AND THE PEDAL ONCE AGAIN WENT TO THE FLOOR. I FOUND THE SERVICE MANAGER AND THE HIGHER UP PERSON SAY THAT'S NORMAL. NOW WHAT? I CANT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE FOR THE FEAR OF ANOTHER CRASH. GM IS NO HELP. *JB
