I purchased a 1999 chevy 2 door 4x4 Blazer on 1/8/02. I discovered in March of 2002 that the brakes were "fried" everything was burned. The dealership from which I purchased the vehicle replaced the brake pads and rotors, both front and rear. In March of 2003 I had my brakes checked by a Chevrolet dealership. The results were my front and rear brakes were warped and needed replaced. I got the brakes fixed. On 7/19/04. I went to have my vehicle serviced and I had my brakes inspected once again. The service technician stated that my brakes were "shot!!" my pads are at 20% and my rotors need replaces. I feel this is very excessive regarding the replacement of brakes within 2 1/2 years of owning this vehicle. I feel its a serious safety issue and needs to be looked into. I am very nervous for my safety when driving this vehicle, because it seems the brakes are going out in a short amount of time.
