Consumer had vehicle serviced 8 times. Each time rotors/brakes, and drums were repaired. Mechanic stated the shoes did not fit the drums.. GM has technical reference dated 09/01/1999 tha thas them putting some part on. Every time they take it in to the shop it comes out with the same resukts. Consumer's deduction was the same as the mechanic, that the part is not sized rightly.

While driving and applying brakes, they squealed. Consumer contacted dealer. Dealer lubricated brakes. After brakes were lubricated they locked up and overheated enough to melt wheel caps. Also, dealer replaced brake booster, and entire brake system including ABS unit. Consumer noted power brakes have failed, and brake booster needed to be replaced for second time.

Advising of need to investigate premature anti-lock brake activation on front wheels under following condition - below 20-30 mph light pedal application on "rippled" potholed paved road as in coming to stop sign on heavily traveled road. Either front wheel hitting bump activates ABS which then shuts down that wheel then complete brake system (leaves no code) for 1-2 seconds & has led to inability to stop by appropriate place at intersection and what I would term several near accidents. This happens I repeat under light pedal application on front wheels at slow speeds with no load in truck bed with one adult & single passenger usuually my 9 yr old son. Can consistently duplicate if needed for demonstration. Dealer has been unable to answer other then "that is normal"

Original brakes wore out at 13,000. Brakes were mushy and squealing. Installed new pads and brakes are still squealing. When braking on hill at low speed, hear thump, thump. Had to push pedal down as hard as I could to engage a stop. Afterwards heard a loud metal on metal scratching and cluncking of brakes.
