Two problems related to brake disc pads have been reported for the 1997 Chevrolet K1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
In the past year I have noticed a hard braking situation at low speeds in which it felt like the anti- lock was kicking in even though it would be uncalled for. Today, I pulled up to a stop sign and I pushed on the pedal with all my might and still drifted into on coming traffic who luckily was able to maneuver around me since I ended up in their lane. My pads, fluid and rotors are all good. I will be taking it to a gm dealer tomorrow for this problem since it has been occurring regularly and now nearly caused an accident.
Vehicle is wearing out brake pads too soon for normal wear at 28000 miles. Dealer informed consumer that they are aware of problem but nothing could be done at this time. Consumer was charged for repair and service. Consumer states there is noise in the rear axle area while traveling over bumps, dealer unable to locate rattle.
