Safety issue: 2002 chevy 3500 1 ton dually (53,000 miles). Truck brakes starting acting funny. Take truck dealership for brake inspection. Dealer charge $$ for inspection and informed us that all 4 brake rotors were rotten (beyond repair). Not wore but rotten. Seems they use re-cycled material in their brake rotors. Seem this is a major safety issue because rotors could fail completed due to rot and cause vehicle to lose brakes. Cost of replacement is $2000.
Parking brake failed and does not hold when engaged been about a year now and was told there was a recall so I'm waiting to see if this is the case chevy told me my truck was not considered in the recall so I would like to know if I'm the only one with this problem.
