1 Brake Disc Rotor problem of the 2000 Chevrolet C1500

Failure Date: 10/22/2004

1. Brake rotors rusted from the inside. No way to turn them. Had to replace. 2. Anti-lock sensors rusted. Almost caused me to crash. 3. Please don't let them steer you away from the rotor problem. It's a lot bigger than the sensor problem. 3. I talked to gm about both problems. Got no help. They let on like they didn't know of any problem with their brakes. I knew they lying. 4. Please make sure tennessee is included and also the rotor problem. Mine is a 2000 silverado. Thanks.

2 Brake Disc Rotor problem of the 2000 Chevrolet C1500

Failure Date: 08/01/2004

This problem occurred last year, but I am just now reporting it looking at the recent recall of this same pickup. I own a 2000 half ton Chevrolet pu 4x4. I noticed the anti-lock brakes weren't working very well at low speeds and made a noise before finally stopping the truck. It was getting noticeable at higher speeds as time went on. I took it to the car dealer where I bought the truck. Not only did the anti-lock brake sensor need replacing, but so did all four rotors. They were rusted so badly that they were flaking away. This truck had only 14,000 miles on it even though it was a 2000. It was stored inside when not driven. Gm agreed to pay for half of the repairs but not all. This was a safety issue, and I offered to take the dealer to a junk yard to show him that rotors don't rust like these were even at junk yards. I still have the rotors if your dept. Would be interested in looking at them. I believe there is more to the story than gm was willing to tell me, especially noticing the recent recall of their trucks.
