Again premature brake wear for Front, Rear pads rotors, rubber brake lines, and the parking brake shoes. There is a problem with the brake system modulation between the front and rear brakes when you depress the brake pedal. It seems to me that the rear brakes are receiving more hydraulic pressure that the front brakes which would explain why the rear brakes wear out way before the front brakes. The mechanics are dumbfounded and cannot explain why this happens except to say that the brake system for this vehicle is not heavy duty enough for the weight. I also wounder if when the truck was made that they attached the wrong brake lines to the power brake modulation valve down line from the power booster and the master cylinder as these are the only original parts that remain at 123,000 miles.

I have had the brakes replaced twice since owning this vehicle bought used with 45K miles and which now has 77K miles. It has always had a soft pedal and doesn't stop in a normal distance. I must always start braking early. The abs system will not work unless I am on ice. Last year I was driving to town (we live in the country) and was approaching a highway stop. When I applied the brakes the pedal went immediately to the floor. No brakes what so ever! I downshifted and pulled it into the ditch and was able to stop safely. When I had it towed to the dealer they said the brake lines had failed and needed replaced, To do this they said the cab had to be raised and that it would be very expensive (which it was). After replacement the pedal was still soft and there is no way it will lock up the brakes. I am afraid it will happen again. When will Chevy admit there is a problem and take care of it before someone is injured badly or killed?
