1 Air Brake Disc Rotor problem of the 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe

Failure Date: 01/15/2003

This occurs every day, all day. It is a well known fact with just about all late model chevy/GMC Tahoe/suburban owners, dealers, mechanics & many in the auto publishing indusatry, that these vehicles have extremely inadequate braking systems, bordering on failures & extreme fading & warping & premature wear on the front mechanicals/pads/rotors especially. You can ask just about any mechanic & gm/chevy dealer& they will acknowlege this fact. They even tout that the newer models have such an improved braking system over the previous years. I own a 97 Tahoe 1500 & the previous owner & everyone I meet who owns a late model gm truck has the same problems. There are even some independent mechanics who refuse to warranty their work & parts when they do brake jobs on these vehicles. I am talking mostly about the front disc brakes. Have come close to accidents quite a few times due to warped rotors & faded brakes, especially when coming down an incline, even if it is a slight to moderate descent for not a long distance. The brakes need to be replaced more often than any vehicle ihave ever owned & for the technology that is out there. Sometimes every year!!! I cannot believe that these brakes were ever certified safe by the ntsb or ??? and that there are no recalls on this extreme safety hazard to the public. Also. . The wiper motor on these vehicles is prone to failure (intermittent or complete,) and is also a well known problem in these circles & a serious sagety hazard as you might expect. Thank you.
