Brake Disc Pads Problems of Chevrolet Colorado

As I was changing the rear brake rotors I found that the pads on the e-brake shoes where not attached. The are now glued on and had failed. Dealer excuse was rust. This should not be happening with your e-brakes. I would not have know they had come loose if I was not changing my brake pads/rotors. I had to pay for replacement for an item that should not have failed unexpectedly.

There appears to be a design flaw with the front brake assembly of the 2006 Chevrolet Colorado. Under normal operating conditions the inner brake pads can fail to function. Inspection of the front brakes on my 2006 Colorado showed the outer pads had normal wear while the inner pads showed virtually no wear (pads were almost factory spec thickness). This was after 80,000 miles (85% highway driving) which indicated the inner pads were never functioning properly. The inner side of the brake rotors were badly corroded which required that the rotors be replaced even though they had no scoring or warpage. The vehicle was safety inspected in pennsylvania 4 times (2006-2009) by a Chevrolet dealer who never noted this problem. I can't understand how they could miss the fact that one the bake pads on the outside of the rotors were getting thinner while the inside pads never changed in thickness. During the four years I've owned the vehicle I never had properly operating front brakes. I've owned 14 vehicles, various makes and models, that had front disc brakes and I've never seen a problem like this. I've talked to two independent garages in new jersey who told me that out of 17 Colorados they collectively have serviced 14 have had this problem (>80%). That seems like an abnormally high percentage of failures for a braking system. The remedy proposed by the service department of a chevy dealer in new york was to have the front brakes inspected every 3 to 6 months (at $40 a pop) for this problem.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Colorado. The front brake pads are emitting a fine fiber like material, which is getting on the front wheels, the fender, and the rocker panel. The fiber is blowing in the air and entering into the ventilation system, which then causes the black fiber to enter the passenger cabin. The fiber material is present the most during city driving. The contact must clean the wheels once a week. He stated that there was a TSB that mentioned the fiber was damaging to chrome and dye cast wheels. The failure milege VIN, engine size, and speed were unknown. The current mileage was 3,000.
