While getting routine maintenance on my 2001 Chevrolet Silverado, I asked the dealer to check the brakes. I was informed that the rear brake rotors were so corroded, that they had to be replaced. The truck only has 27,000 miles. I informed General Motors, and was told that this was normal wear and tear. I know of two other people that had this same problem. GMC attitude is "too bad". my complaint is would this not be a safety problem? if I had not caught mine in time, my brakes could have failed me at a critical time. The Chevy mechanic that I took the truck too said that it was defective rotors.
