What 1995 Chevrolet Pickup owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Dt: brakes caught fire while driving down the road, took vehicle to a mechanic and they said the brakes locked up, under the fender, the brake hub caught fire, due to overheating causing the brakes to catch fire.
The speed of the truck will vary when the problem occurs. When I apply the brakes on dry pavement and good road the truck will jerk hard to the left ,then sometimes it will not. Sometimes the brake pedal will fade clear to the floor when I go to stop at a slow speed. I had a new master cylinder put in the truck, but it still did the same thing. Some times also it will make the funny ratcheting noise like your on a dirt road and trying to stop quickly, but I will be on a good dry asphalt road. Some times I will be at a traffic light and the brake pedal will fade down to the floor. I have had my truck at a auto repair shop for over 6 weeks now and have not been able to solve the problem. It has been extremely difficult for my family to get along with only the one other vehicle that we have.
The vacuum brake booster failed, I immediately took it for repair to thomas bros. Automotive located in collinsville, il. I did not take it to the dealer. I'm very lucky I didn't wreck this truck!
