| Parking Brake problems |
On my 2007 chevy silverado I noticed the front tires wearing badly on the inside everybody said it was the alignment. Over the phone and in person the dealership told me it was normal wear and it look like an alignment. Had tires replaced and alignment checked, but it came out with in specs. Next day front brakes started failing, chevy dealer said wear and tear. Having the brakes looked at mech told me that right pass side rotor was beyond repair and needed to be replaced, and that the pad had ripped free on the metal bracket. Went to shop to look and found all pads are ripping free from the metal causing total brake loss. Problem fixed but mech. Unable to bleed system properly due to faulty or crack master cylinder. Dealer has passed it all off as normal wear and tear. Now a complaint has been filled through GMC corp. The total loss of break pad are unknown to the drive and come on with out any warning as the break pads do not have any warning stops to inform driver of worn out brake pads I only have 18,500 miles and purchased he truck new from dealer in question.
