Brake Disc Pads Problems of Chevrolet Express

The brakes on my vehicle were inspected at homewood Chevrolet in illinois and they did not need pads or anything, however, the brakes brakes release on their own when you are driving. There was a hydraulic recall and I never received any information…. . The headlights on my car also keep burning out within weeks of having them changed. The vehicle has some suspension issue as well. There was also a recall for that which I received no notice for…. I have not moved since purchasing this vehicle.

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Express. While driving approximately 30 mph the contact applied pressure to the brake pedal but the vehicle hesitated to stop. The contact applied excessive pressure to the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an auto shop where the vehicle was inspected. The technicians were able to duplicate the failure. The technician stated the brake pads and rotors were in good condition but informed the contact of a recall under NHTSA campaign id number: 04v045000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The dealer was notified and informed the contact the vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

While traveling down a steep grade while applying the brakes, a severe shaking of the steering wheel and wheels occurred. It was so severe the steering wheel shook out of my hands. Once back on level grade for a mile or so, applying the brakes didn't result in the severe shaking. From that point on while driving on any steep hill or mountain, the same thing occurs. The brake pads and rotors were replaced last year, but that has not fixed the issue.

My rotors keep warping and endangering my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am on my fourth set of rotors in 84,000 miles!!!! and on top of that I have the original brake pads. As a matter of fact from 14,000 mi to 94,000 my brake pads have not worn at all. I had to cut the rotors at 30,000, and then at 50,000 they were warped and too thin to resurface. I replaced them again. At 80,000 I had to have them cut because they were warped. Then at 85,000 I had to have them replaced again because they were warped. My rotors get to hot that when I brake, my whole steering column shakes and the vehicle swerves to hard that I can barely stay within the lines on the interstate. I feared for my life. I have tried to have chevy look into this and every time they just slap new rotors on and send me on my way. They give a 12,000 mile warranty on rotors and they are warping in half that time. Chevy has had to replace them for free under warranty 3 times and I have had to pay once. I feel like all they want to do is slap new parts on instead of finding the problem or having a recall! I have spoke to corporate, who agrees something else is wrong but they won't do anything about it. They say they've checked everything. I finally got the service supervisor to admit to me that these vehicles have crappy metal rotors from china and that they have been failing in the safety lane tests for their ability to brake and stop in the required distance. I feel that my vehicle was overrated to it's weight limit and it cannot stop itself if it has any kind of load in the cargo area. I have already filed a complaint with the us department of transportation highway safety administration. I have also worked with a gentleman from the corporate office, he seemed to be on my side but was unable to do anything. My case #'s are 71-869-1333444.

During panic stop with empty vehicle, brake effectiveness was insufficient. Brake pedal traveled to mechanical stop with no antiskid cycling, no wheel skids. Examination of road surface afterwards showed not even a faint trace of tire marks. Vehicle was being operated on freeway and brakes had not been used for several hours prior to this stop. An hour after this incident an intentional panic stop was made from 65mph to reconfirm, results were the same. Vehicle is being scheduled for inspection by dealer. Note: the original front brake pads were replaced several months ago due to the oem front grease seals failing and causing grease contamination of the front innner disc brake pads.

Braking system malfunctioned which caused more wear and tear on brake pads, resulting in extended stopping distance. The premature wearing of the brake pads required the rotors to be turned.

Front brakes wear prematurly inside pads wear before outside pads, therefore the rotors will grind before they squeel for warning.

Ongoing problem with excessive wear within the inside of brake pads. Total of 7 sets of pads have been replaced within a year. Dealer notified, and was unable to resolve the problems. Provide further details.

Pads are wearing out from the inside without any warning given. Because pads from outside do not wear out, sensor cannot warn the driver . Pads were replaced 7 times within 12 months, and dealer could determine the cause.
