SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I NOTICED BRAKE DRAG/SQUEAL ON THE REAR BRAKES OF MY 2002 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE REAR BRAKES WHERE SHOT ... AND ... THE ROTORS WERE SO CORRODED THEY COULDN'T BE REPAIRED ... THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIRS I BEGAN NOTICING BRAKE DRAG/SQUEAL IN MY REAR BRAKES AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP THAT DID THE REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WERE FINE AND IT MIGHT JUST BE "BRAKE DUST BUILDUP." I AM CONVINCED THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY REAR BRAKES AND I PLAN TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AS SOON AS I HAVE TIME.

STRUCTURE
THE DASH IS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. UPON CHECKING THE INTERNET I FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON CHEVROLET TRUCKS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE AIR BAG MAY BE COMPROMISED IN THE EVENT OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. IT MAY BE POSSIBLE THAT PIECES OF THE AIRBAG COULD BREAK OFF AND STRIKE THE OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR IT MAY DEFLECT THE AIR BAG ALTOGETHER. CHEVROLET IS NOT TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING THIS EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT A PART THAT WOULD RECEIVE WEAR AND TEAR AND IT IS JUST AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE DESIGN. *TR
