#709018July 22, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
AT 14000 MILES, THE LEFT FRONT PAD WAS SO WORN THAT IT ATE INTO THE ROTOR. THE BRAKES WERE THEN SERVICED BY THE DEALER FOR FREE. AFTER 7000 MORE MILES THE BRAKING WAS SO POOR THAT I REPLACED THE FRONT PADS AND ROTORS MYSELF. AT 30000 MILES, THE BRAKES WERE FADING SO BAD I HAD TO HAVE THEM SERVICED AGAIN BUT AT A NEARBY DEALER (AND PAID THEIR SERVICE FEE ). NOW, THEY ARE STARTING TO FADE YET AGAIN, GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY. AFTER HEARING IN THE NEWS THAT GM HAS TO PAY FOR A SENSOR ON VEHICLES BEFORE 97, I AM TELLING YOU NOW THAT THE INVESTIGATION SHOULD NOT BE OVER! I WAS TALKING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT A CHEVROLET DEALER AND HE FLAT OUT TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEMS ON ALL OF GM'S LIGHT TRUCK S AND T PLATFORMS WITHOUT 4 WHEEL DISK BRAKES WERE VERY POORLY ENGINEERED. EVERY TIME I SEE A BLAZER/JIMMY OR GM PICKUP I CAN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THE OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF BRAKE DUST ON THE FRONT RIMS. I SWEAR THE REAR DRUMS ARE USELESS! I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP FIXING MY TRUCKS BRAKES EVERY 10,000 MILES.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AND THE FLUID LEVEL IS FINE. THE BRAKE PEDAL ALWAYS FEELS SPONGY AND ITS HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE OTHER COMPLAINT DEALS WITH THE REAR END. AFTER THE CAR HAS BE EN DRIVEN FOR ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES THE REAR END WILL VIBRATE AND MAKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE CAR TAKES OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE CAR AND IT HAD 17000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT.
