The rear brake rotors were pitted and throwing the brakes shoes off. The rotors and shoes were replaced. The dealership indicated that this is becoming a common problem with these vehicles.
Related: PE03057 I have been experiencing premature brake pad and rotor failures with my 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. I have the automatic transmission, but have the same problem with dragging emergency brake shoes that is described in the above referenced nhsta action number. I'm about to replace the entire rear brake system for the second time. The dealer said there was nothing unusual about this. I beg to differ. Please take this into consideration for further action. Thank you.
