problem #2

Apr 011998

Tahoe 4WD

  • miles
Dealer reported that master cylinder failed, had to replace along with front brake shoes and pads, rotors turned. We were charged for all this, dealer charged that it was normal wear and tear. We have found numerous other people who have experienced the same problem. Think that master cylinder is a defective part..unfair to charge owners for this...could lead to serious crashes, mine failed without warning!
