The car was brought to a stop while riding on the brake disc. The car was towed to woolever tire co, 205 anacapa st, santa barbara, ca 93101. The brake rotor and all tire studs are being replaced. I have high resolution digital pictures of the individual studs as welle as the wheel and brake assemblies. Chevrolet has been contacted and has started a case (1-18936109) regarding this failure.

Abs brakes this is my second time in for the brakes,my truck has 17,200 miles on it,an I took it in the first time while under warrenty an they said told me nothing was wrong,now that the warrenty has ran out,theres something wrong an I think brakes should last longer than 17,200 miles ,this will be my chevy ,this truck is junk.
I bought the truck new in 98/I don't drive much an it only has 17,100miles on it,an the brakes makes an awful noise in the front,until the I hit the brakes then it quits it only does it when its moving.the warrentie ran out sept.1st,but I think the brakes as well as the truck should last longer than 17,100 miles.this will be my last chevy.
On 08/05/01 I noticed that the right front brake rotor was grooved from metal to metal contact between the rotor and pad. The vehicle only had about 32900 original miles. I do not tow or haul anything. I drive about 20 miles a day. On 08/17/01 I took the vehicle to a brake shop to have the right front brakes repaired. I knew that it was abnormal to have metal to metal contact on a vehicle with this low mileage. The mechanic discovered that the right front caliper had failed, or "hung up" causing uneven wear between the left and right front systems. The right front brakes were metal to metal. The left front caliper had also failed. The outside pad had about 80% pad thickness. The left inside pad was wearing unevenly. The rear of the pad was almost metal to metal while the front was about 60% thick. I am a police officer and a trained technical accident investigator. Common sense, and my training tells me that these defective calipers, and their premature failure, cause a considerable decrease in braking efficiency. As a side note, the mechanic who worked on my vehicle mentioned to me that he had a chevy s10 in the day before with about 36000 miles with the same problem.
Brakes would release some but drag ,causing rotors to overheat. Brakes rusted into the glide plate. Parts were replaced, and there were no signs of lubrication. Consumer has not received the brake inspection notice gmc sent out.*ak the brake problem was caused by the stainless clips that snap into the guide plates on the rear brakes.
Caliper are connecting to the brake pads. Vehicle will pull to oneside, right, if it locks, and it rips to side/ it's pulling. Brakes high noise as a warning that's it's going bad. Consumer had brake pads done by a mechanic. Right side calipers were cracked. Dealer just turned rotor, and packed the bearings. Currently, there are no brakes, and squeal like they are going to go out. Consumer found out through a mechanic the brakes should have been replaced.
Consumer was traveling about 20mph on a side street and heard a noise from underneath vehicle coming from brakes. It was metal to metal noise. Dealership was aware of problem. There was an accident.

Any sharp turn at low speeds activates the ABS. I.e turning into a parking space. The dealer said it was because the tires were old. The tire store says the tires are fine. I have read on the web about others having this problem too.

With the air conditoner the relays and fuses keep blowing. I have taken the vehicle to a air conditoning place and they are not sure. With the ABS I was driving down the road in snow. I used the brakes the anti locks came on and all lights interior and exterior cut off completely. Had to stop and restart vehicle. With the elctrical problem I was driving down the road when all my gauges jumped then went to normal. With the trannsmission it has constatly slammed into second and third gear. I have brought to thte dealer numerous times. It was worked on once. They said they replaced numerous parts on the transmission. Upon driving it down the road the same thing happened again.

Consumer had vehicle parked outside of her home and she was hearing a noise. She had her husband listen to it. They took vehicle to dealership, and mechanic took wheels off and noticed that rivit groves wore into the stator.
