Chevrolet C1500 owners have reported 2 problems related to brake disc caliper (under the service brakes category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Took veh. In for headlight alignment. Got into veh. To leave and the brake petal went to the floorboard. Mechanic said the brake line had rusted through. He check and said all lines were completely rusted and needed to be replaced. The veh. Had to be towed to a chev. Dealer to bleed the line. Total cost including one caliper that was too rusted was $794. 11. I had been travelling on the expressway moments prior to going to the service station. Had I not stopped there when I did, I have no doubt serious injuries would have occurred as the brake line rusted through.

Vehicle had grinding noise from rear wheels and loss of power. Rear brakes failed with 9, 975 miles on vehicle. Dealer found right rear brake caliper rusted solid and not operating, causing inner right disk brake pad to wear out prematurely. Was advised that this was a result of the vehicle not being used enough, allowing components inside the caliper to rust. Dealer rebuilt right rear calipers, turned down both excessively rusted rear rotors and replaced rear disc brake pads.
