For several years, have been out time & expense of installing new park brake pads not needed, turning drums, tried replacing long brake cable under floor, pulled rear rotors several times & re adjusted park brake. . . 1 week later don't work again. . I have to put blocks under wheels for 3 years to keep truck from rolling down driveway. . Live on a hill. . Chevy don't need the tension on little bitty park gear in transmission. . . . Also have had to fix every Dec because safety inspection ends Dec,,,neighbors have Ford & Dodge & theirs will stay in driveway. . Have no idea how much money & time spent on a gm blunder. . . Why has their not been a recall ? another cover up by gm executives ?.

At low speeds the abs system engages when the break is applied causing the truck to brake poorly. Until just recently I've had no problems and my brake pads are fine per my mechanic who checked them about 2 weeks ago. While driving the truck I pulled into a friends driveway about 5mph and applied the brake on dry pavement when the abs came on and I was sent crashing into his garage. This has happend almost 20 times since that day. I can not even drive my truck to work anymore due to fear of hitting someone. I have a 2002 silverado xc 1500 4x4 that is very well maintained with 81332miles. My father and brother both own similar model gm trucks both 2000 models with exactly the same problem. Nothing has been done as of yet to fix my truck I'm waiting to see if I can make the dealer pay for the damages done and fix my brake system.

At 37720 miles on 2002 Chevrolet 4x4 pickup. Took vehicle to dealer for safety inspection and service to gm dealership. Was informed that vehicle would not pass inspection due to brake rotors and pads being rusted and worn out. This was in March 2005. In October 2005 received recall notice relating to severe corrosion between front hub/bearing and speed sensor. Filled for a claim reimbursement due to the fact that all parts were inter related. Also even the repair invoice stated worn out/rusted. Was informed that no reimbursement would be paid.

The owner complained about a brake problem. When applying the brakes they hardened, and the vehicle would not stop. Also the owner changed the brake pads, rotors, and bled the brakes. Currently, the vehicle still doesn't have much braking power. The problem was found to be the right front bearing and the hub sensor.

The consumer took the vehicle to dealer to have the tires rotated, when it was discovered that the rotors rusted and the pads needed to be replaced. The consumer mad complaint with the manufacturer since this was the first servicing since the consumer purchased the vehicle. The consumer is aware of other vehicles with similar problems. There was extensive rusting and pitting of the brake system.

The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet 1500. While driving at approximately 5 mph, the contact noticed that the vehicle continued moving when he depressed the brake pedal. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership but the dealer could not duplicate the problem. A local mechanic replaced the brake pads and rotors but the contact was still experiencing the same failure. The contact had not called the manufacturer at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000. The current mileage was approximately 84,000.

While driving 30mph brakes operated poorly, resulting in extended stopping distance, also brake pads wore out at 4000 miles.

While driving 55 mph applied brakes and there was extended braking distance, and a squealing sound. Dealer replaced rear drums/ shoes and pads. Stated this was normal wear and tear.

While driving vehicle about 20 mph brake pads did not work properly. When applied brake pedal the vehicle started pulling to either side (left of right). The other safety problem involved the throttle sticking when traveling between speeds 10-25 mph resulting in the vehicle operating as if the cruise control was engaged. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer unable to duplicate the problem.
