SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER
2002 CHEVY SILVERADO Z71 TRUCK - BOUGHT NEW FROM MCCLINTON CHEVROLET PARKERSBURG WV. THE TRUCK STARTED WITH A CLICKING NOISE WHEN PUT IN REVERSE. TOOK TO MACHANIC WHO STATED THAT ALL 4 ROTORS WERE PITTED AND RUSTED AND NEEDED REPLACED. THE TRUCK HAS 54,000 MILES. TOOK TO TWO DIFFERENT CHEVY DEALERSHIPS THE SECOND FINALLY DIAGNOSED THAT THE CALIPERS WERE STUCK AND NOT ALLOWING THE PADS TO MOVE WHEN NECESSARY. THEY STATED THAT THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE ROTORS ARE MADE OF AN INFERIOR METAL. THE PROBLEM IS NOT DUE TO DRIVING HABITS OR ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT IF NOT CAUGHT EARLY BY THE OWNER CAUSES ABOUT $800.00 TO REPLACE THE ROTORS, CALIPERS, AND BRAKE PADS. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND CHEVROLET NEEDS TO COVER THIS TYPE OF COST. LOYAL CUSTOMERS DESERVE BETTER TREATMENT FROM MANUFACTURERS. THEY HAVE CHANGED THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE 2005. I GUESS THAT THIS TELLS US SOMETHING. THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT DON'T WANT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.*AK
