problem #3

Jul 242008

Silverado 3500

  • Automatic transmission
  • 32,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

brakes first failed while on vacation and upon return was told mileage was 600 miles over for warranty. They put new pads on it and they lasted about 6, 000 miles. Rotors needed to be replaced from pitting & corrosion...could not be turned because of rusting out...

(reported on)

Silverado LS

  • 79,000 miles

All 4 rotors at 79000 and brake pads, already replaced one rear rotor at 19,000k's and pads. This truck sucks, worst and most costly purchase I have ever made. Stay clear of the crappy North American product.
