On 12/23/05 I had my 2002 chev Avalanche in for a abs recall processing, where the abs system would incorrectly operate under certian curmstances when traveling at less than 10 mph. During this recall the dealer call to tell me that a very critical rear brake sheild had rusted off and must be replaced (at an estimated cost of $300). The vehicle has 52,332 miles on it. With the age of the vehicle, and milage, I do not feel "very critical" safety related components should be rusting off.
Rear brake cover plates rusted. Vehicle did not pass state inspection. Consumer was concerned.
While driving and applying brakes consumer lost the ability to control vehicle. Contacted dealer, and the dealer could not find cause of problem. Consumer states while attempting to stop at low speeds while making a turn, partial steering and partial braking is lost, gm tech stated that this was the nature of the system.
