Chevy Tahoe 1999, we have owned this vehicle for four years and put 40,000 + miles on it, it now has 102,000 miles. In that time frame we have had to replace the front roters and pads four times. In January of 2002 I had an accident at slow speed in slushy road conditions where the vehicle did not stop over a travel distance of 100'+/- it was blamed on driver error and poor road conditions, since that time we had a complete failure of the front brakes with no accident and fortunately no injury. A third incident resulted in no property damage or accident.

Replacement front brake rotors installed on a 1999 Chevy Tahoe 2 door and driven approximately 100 miles in 15 mile increments resulted in significant intereference wear between the disc brake pad backing plates and the cylindrical portion of the brake rotors, with significant heat generation, noise, and odor. Subsequent inspection of the replacement rotors and the oem rotors revealed that the replacement rotors diameter of the cylindrical portion that covers the vehicle hub were approximately 3/16 larger diameter than the oem rotors. Replacement rotors have been returned to the seller, paul do at cquencemotorsports, 4933 pearce street, apt. B, huntington beach, ca 92649. I believe the rotors were manufactured in china, their part number is 5569 min thk 30.86mm PT14 bt. Fortunately, the problem was discovered before significant vehicle damage occured. The stock rotors were reinstalled without interference. Old part unavailable, it was returned to seller under warranty.

I have a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe 4X4 lt. In the last few months I have had to replace the front brake pads and rotors every 5,000 miles. I am now looking to spend another $600 to replace them again. I have had them looked at each time, and I am told there is nothing wrong with the calipers and they have no reason as to why the rotors are being warped. The most recent time I took in the Tahoe I was told the rotors were blue due to the heat from the pads, but again there is nothing wrong with the calipers or anything else. I have not been carrying any heavy loads in the vehicle, or driving hard. Most of the miles are from driving on the highway. I have never taken it off roading.

Problems with vehicle brakes, steering and rotors. There were problems with the brakes, steering, and rotors since purchase. There was a chattering sound in the front brakes. The consumer had the vehicle re-aligned, and the rotors machined. The problem went away for a short period, but then return after 4K miles. The dealer suggested the consumer place high end rotors on the vehicle.

- Sumner, WA, USA

The rotors experienced premature wear, which caused vehicle to experience extended stopping distance.

- Pueblo, CO, USA

Consumer state that the vehicle would vibrate when applied the brakes. Dealer was notified and replaces the front rotors and the pads on four separated occasions and the problem still reoccurring. (as I mentioned VIN# please fill in)

- Princeton, WV, USA

Rotors had to be replaced three times since date of purchase of vehicle. Brakes also would lock up while consumer was driving.

This 1999 Tahoe is about to undrgo the fifth brake job. The first for wapred rotors occurred at 1300 miles, the second at 18000 miles, the third at 23000 miles, the fourth at 26000 miles and now, the fifth at 36500 miles. Each time I have hd to fight with dealership to get anything done. Chevrolet insist nothing is wrong with these vehicles. A vehicle this expensive should not be having this many problems. "normal driving" does not cause this problem. I have not had these problems with any other vehicle I have owned. Chevrolet needs to take responsibility for this defective braking system. I have lost days from work having this fixed again and again. I will certainly think carefully before buying another Chevrolet.

Experienced excessive vibration when braking. Mechanic advised that rotors were warped and needed to be turned. This was done but problem reoccurred after less than 5,000 mi. Advised this time that rotors are warped again and need to be replaced, probably due to "the way I drive". I have never had this happen with other vehicles. After asking that they look further for a cause, I am told that this is normal wear and tear. After pushing a little harder, I am finally advised that the rotors on this year/model are prone to warping and should be replaced, but are not covered by warranty even though I puchased extended warranty. I am told that the GM replacement part will be identical to original. Rear brakes were screeching @27489 mi (I purchased at 23326 mi). Told that shoes nead replcmt due to wear. I, nor anyone I have spoken with have heard of rear brake shoes wearing out at this low mileage.

Was braking vehicle & the steering wheel was shaking. Made controlling of vehicle hard. Took to dealer & informed by mechanic that brake rotors were causing the shaking problem. Mechanic took the brake rotors off & informed owner they were made of tin. Rotors were replaced with a different type. Front and back brakes failed twice.

We purchased the 1999 Tahoe in June, 1998. We had the rotors turned in December 1998 and then replaced Aug. 1999. This should not happen on a new vehicle, let alone one that costs as much as the Tahoe. The brake pedal was going to the floor and the vehicle was not stopping very good, especially at a speed greater than 40 mph. The brakes were bled in the summer of 1999. That seemed to help for a while. But the problem seemed to reappear. We took the truck back to our dealer. They then replaced the brake master cylinder. That seemed to help. But I feel the brake system still is not a good system when you must press the pedal down so far to get a good stop. The manifold gaskets also had to already be replaced. For a fairly new and expensive vehicle, we have had alot of problems with this particular vehicle. (we had a 1995 Chevy Suburban before, and we had no problems with it. We really liked the braking system on it and wish we had never traded for the Tahoe.) one thing I noticed on your recalls, on the 1998 Tahoe, there was a recall on the rotors and braking system. Since our truck was built early in May 1998, and listed as 1999, could we have possibly inherited the same problems as the 1998 Tahoe? I would love to purchase a 2000 Tahoe, but hesitate because of the braking system they may have. Please inform me if there could be a recall on our model and year. I feel the 1998 recall should be extended to the 1999 since everything on the vehicles are the same.

Consumer was traveling on highway and veered over to the shoulder to avoid hitting another vehicle. When consumer applied brakes, pedal was soft and went all the way to the floor. Also, there was vibration. In addition, steering wheel pulled back and forth, due to rotor failure.

- Vandalia, IL, USA

At 11,000 miles front rotors are prematurely warped, cause unknown. Also when applying brakes the front end of vehicle vibrates/shakes.
