The brakes have been acting up for about 9 months. When I took the truck to have the brakes fixed, the mechanic said a recall has been made on this truck but has not been sent out. He charged me for a new brake job on the front brakes but the problem still exists. I took the truck back twice and he went through everthing again but I still have a problem. I saw a recall on some '97 chevy vehicles on the news but have never received a recall notice. Is there a problem with the brakes on this truck? Please let me know. Thank you. Rw.
