SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM
THE REAR BRAKES ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVEN'T WORKED FOR YEARS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN IN ANY VEHICLE BEFORE AND WONDERED IF THIS IS COMMON, BUT HASN'T REACHED A RECALL STATUS. I REALIZE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTERS HAVE BEEN RIDING IN THIS CAR FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, BUT I AM RETIRING IT IN THE INTERIM UNTIL MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER CAN TAKE A LOOK, WHEN THEY REPLACE THE CRADLE BOLTS. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION. THIS IS VERY STRANGE. THANK YOU. *AK
