Five problems related to brake disc have been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 09/07/2001

I had a grinding noise from the rear passenger side brake. I pulled my tire and saw there was not any inside brake pad. The outer brake pad seemed to be in good shape. I took to the dealer and they replaced the rear rotors and brake pads. I had to pay for the pads, GMC sent out notices to dealers that they would not cover pads past 20,000 miles. It was stated that the rotors had rusted and pitted, thus ripping the pads apart. I had my front rotors replaced on 09/13/2001. I had the same problem here. It was caught before the rotors destroyed my brake pads. Again the rotors were covered under warranty, the pads did not get replaced this time.

Truck shake and vibrates very bad at all times most when in drive while brakes .

If I go to brake and the road is a tad bet bumpy the brakes do not catch and it takes a while to stop. Has happened 3 times. Didn't happen at dealers so they did nothing to fix it. Came close to hitting vehicle in front of me.
