| 2003 | SERVICE BRAKES | I OWN A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE. I FIRST BEGIN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ABS SYSTEM IN 2010. THE BRAKES WOULD FLUTTER BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHILE TRAVELING OUT OF STATE THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED AND WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH PASSENGERS IN MY CAR. THE PARKING EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT WORK SO I HAD TO CAREFULLY DRIFT INTO A PARKING SPOT USING THE CURB AS A BRACE. I ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE ALL THE BRAKES LINES WHICH WERE COMPLETELY CORRODED. I WAS JUST TOLD BY MY MECHANIC TODAY THAT THE PADS, ROTORS, BACKING PLATE, PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM, ETC. IS ALL CORRODED AND HAS TO BE REPLACED COSTING ME WELL OVER $1000.00 DOLLARS. I LIKE MY VEHICLE AND OTHER THAN THE ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES IT RUNS FINE. BUT FOR SUCH AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY VEHICLE TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF SAFETY ISSUE IS COMPLETELY UNSATISFACTORY TO THE CUSTOMER. TO MANY MANUFACTURERS ARE CUTTING COST AT THE EXPENSE OF CUSTOMER SAFETY AND VEHICLE RELIABILITY. THIS MATTER HAS TO BE ADDRESSED QUICKLY AND A RECALL AND/OR HELP WITH COST IS GREATLY NEEDED. *TR |
