Inside left front brake pad wore down completely at 17,109 miles, damaging rotor, requiring rotor replacement and brake job. There was absolutely no notice such as a squeal or other indication that would normally occur prior to a brake component failure. Dealer claimed it was "normal" wear although the other three pads had plenty of life left on them. Dealer would not cover repairs. Gm customer service was contacted and provided no help. Cust. Service also sided with the dealer mechanic, saying it was "normal" wear and would not be covered. I ended up having them repaired/replaced at another location. Seems to be a common problem as I have seen many prior complaints of this same type on the same or similar type vehicles. This appears to be a safety related complaint to me, but thus far, after many years of complaints of this type, no investigation has been initiated. Inadequate braking systems for this type of vehicle. Should be a recall to provide heavy duty brakes for these vans. Dt.

Van pulls to left on med. To hard stops, twice over center line of road, rotors are warped, rear brakes will not self adjust as they are supposed to do, excessive front pad wear.

Vehicle has had consistent brake lead and pull to right and left, excessive brake pad wear and warpage of both rotors which causes a shimmy, wobbling and shaking of steering. This vehicle is driven mainly on open roads and highways, rarely in traffic . On many occasions when braking the vehicle will pull hard over to the left, sometimes right, especially on off ramps, often times needing a strong correction to keep vehicle from leaving the roadway. Vehicle has been to dealer 5 times for testing and repair. However it was not the dealer where truck was purchased.

Original brakes wore out at 13,000. Brakes were mushy and squealing. Installed new pads and brakes are still squealing. When braking on hill at low speed, hear thump, thump. Had to push pedal down as hard as I could to engage a stop. Afterwards heard a loud metal on metal scratching and cluncking of brakes.

While driving and applying the brakes consumer heard noise coming from the brakes. Dealer replaced brakes, including calipers/pads and shoes, seven times.
