1 Air Brake Disc Pads problem of the 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 02/04/2005

Without any squealing in the days and weeks before the brake failure, as I would expect from deteriorating brakes, the brakes on my 2003 Trailblazer ext failed. Fortunately, the metal to metal sound heard on Feb. 4, 2005, alerted my wife to call our local chevy service center. At the time of the failure, this car had 29,000 miles on it. Not only did the dealer find the left front brake digging into the rotor surface, but they found the rear brakes worn low and the emergency brake portion of the rotor rotted. At 29,000 miles, total brake overhaul should not occur. Why had the emrgency brake portion of the rotor rotted? when my wife called the 800 number to report this to Chevrolet, lisa koine, chevy's representative, called the dealer to find out what the problem was. After speaking with the service people at brady-stannard in brewsete, NY, she returned our call and told us the brake failure was due to normal wear and tear. Give me a break. Since when do consumers have to pay #1276. 79 for a complete brake overhaul at 29,000 miles? several weeks later, I noticed the left side rotors had rusted. I called the dealer and took the car in for inspection. The dealer stated that this is normal. I question this. I owned an isuzu trooper prior to this car, and the brakes were not replaced until 92,000 miles. What kind of inferior parts is Chevrolet using?.
