Complaint regarding front brake rotor separation on 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe. The rotors separated under normal braking conditions. The consumer contacted the manufacturer who indicated that the separation occured due to age and/or wear. The rotor separated at the steel hub section attached to the cast iron section and blew apart.
The front brake rotor/hubs failed while driving vehicle. The brake rotors were replaced by an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not under recall #98V033000.
Consumer's vehicle has the same problem as mentioned in recall 98V033000 concerning brake:disc:rotors. Dealer would not repair because VIN was not included.
When the brake was applied, the vehicle stopped abruptly. The next day, the front left wheel started to shake, the dealer stated the front rotor had sheared off from the mounting bolt. There was a recall regarding the issue, recall # 98V033000, however the vehicle identification number was not included.
While braking vehicle would shake / vibrate due to defective brake rotors which heats up and warp. Dealer replaced rotors twice. Problem is reoccurring.
Brake rotors became warped at 15,000, causing the brakes to be inoperative. It also may reduce braking ability and cause an accident. Replaced rotors 3 times. Cause unknown.
