Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Defective brakes on 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 crew cab. At just over 50,000 miles I had to have all four rotors and pads replace because the rotors were rusting because of bad metal(rusting from the inside out and pitting), and now at 79000 I am getting a shaking and vibrating (probably from the abs) at low speeds.

I have had constant brake problems with rotors rusting. I have been told this is due to not driving my truck enough, that it sits too much. It's drove about 180 miles a week. This is both front and rear. For Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4x4 2004. Have had problems since it was under warranty. Since day one of owning the truck. Contacted gm and they said they would not cover. Now gm wants $904. 00 to replace rotors and pads. Had the vehicle in while under warranty and they just cleaned them. Second time I complained I had 23,800 miles on the truck, over warranty time/ under mileage.

Severe corrosion/rust on all 4 in board side brake rotors, which caused in board disc pads to wear out (to the metal). Mileage 19,680. Had to replace pads and rotors on all wheels.

- the contact stated that on 10/25/05, he took vehicle to the dealership for a free oil change. He received a repair order and didn't pay attention to the order and folded it up and put away in glove box. The contact stated that on 12/23/06 a mechanic looked at the vehicle and told the contact that the brake rotors were rusted and chewed up and the pads were gone. When he looked over the repair order from 10/25/06 he found that they noted on the repair order that the rotors were rusted at that time. The contact called the manufacturer, and was given file # 71-461701161. The manufacturer contacted dealership and informed them that they must resurface the rotors. The parts and labor would be the contacts responsibility. The contact felt that with such low mileage on the vehicle brakes should not be repaired so soon. Updated 02/09/07.
