Brake Disc Pads Problems of GMC C2500

My truck only has half of it's braking power. The brake pads are rusted to the slides & have not moved for a very long time the rotors on all 4 wheels are completely engulfed in rust. These are the original brakes. I took the truck to GMC for service [oil change] & they stated the rear rotors were "very rusty". I asked the serviceman what to do & he said either I needed to have the rotors turned or the brakes would wear out prematurely. It is obvious to me now [after looking at the brakes personally] that they were not working or the rotors wouldn't be rusty at all. There was never anything said about the brakes not working or the extreme safety issue of a 3/4 ton truck going down the road with only half of it's braking power. I talked to the bbb and they said when I took the truck in it had 48000 miles on it & was out of warranty. I have no doubt that this situation started before the warranty expired but I was not aware of it. My truck is a 2003 and I take very good care of it [serviced regularly and garage kept] and there is no reason the brakes should have rusted this way unless inferior parts or workmanship is involved. I know two other people with similar trucks and one of them has exactly the same problem as mine. We looked at his after I discovered my problem. He, as I, were unaware of this dangerous problem. I think there are a lot of general motors trucks out there with this same problem that people are unaware of. I believe there should be a recall or at least an independent study on this potentially deadly situation before someone dies if they haven't already. Thank you for your time, dale soverns.

Started feeling less braking power and squealing at 25000 miles on the odometer. Took truck to dealer to check it , found rear brakes to be 100% wore out. Rear rotors are flaking apart.

The contact owns a 2001 GMC 2500 pick up truck, and the brakes have completely deteriorated. The vehicle had only 18,000 miles. While driving heard a buzzing noise from the back of the vehicle. The consumer continued driving the vehicle home, and later had the vehicle towed to a service dealer. The service dealer stated the vehicle needed to have brake pads, rotors, and calipers on the back. On the front of the vehicle the rotors will need to be turned. The abs front speed sensor was defective. The service dealer had to replace the abs front speed sensor, replace at least one rotor on the back, a back caliper, and the front rotors will need to be turned, and may have to replace the front brake pads.

The contact complained about a brake problem. Rear rotors rusted. Dealership said that this was normal wear for the rear rotors. The gm customer service told him to take it back to the dealer, and all they would tell him was that he needed to replace rotors and rear brake pads because they could not turn them over. Left rear axle seal leaked. The slip yoke and rear u-joint on the rear driveshaft were replaced because they were causing a chattering feeling when the wheel was turned.
