Two problems related to brake disc have been reported for the 1997 Chevrolet S10. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 08/15/1999

Brakes have inconsistently pulled vehicle to the left during abrupt stopping--brake linings subsequently prmaturely failed on left front of vehicle, without warning, causing metal to metal contact and the destruction of the rotor. Very poor engineering on the part of Chevrolet is producing inferior quality brakes.

2 Brake Disc problem

I have taken to chev. 2-3 times and told nothing is wrong. A friend took his to a brake place and the mechanic told him what was wrong before he looked at it because he also owned an S10 and described the same problem / what I am wanting to know is are there simular problems been documented because I haven't found any ,if so what is the cure.
