NHTSA complaint: 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
ALL OF THE ROTORS RUSTED AND HAD SEVERE CORROSION PRIOR TO MY TRUCK HAVING EVEN 8000 MILES. YES THAT # OF MILES IS CORRECT ONLY 8000. I WAS TOLD BY OTHER GENERAL MOTOR TRUCK GMC, TAHOE ETC SIMILAR VEHICLES THAT THIS IS NORMAL DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY OF MATERIALS USED. I HAVE PURCHASED NEW AFTER MARKET ROTORS THAT ARE NOT CORRODING AS THE ORIGINALS DID. I HAVE KEPT MY ORIGINAL ROTORS TO REMIND ME OF GM QUALITY FOR MY NEXT TRUCK PURCHASE WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE A FORD F250 2005. I REALLY THINK THAT GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ROTOR PROBLEM, IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF OUR CLIMATE AS I HAVE LIVED IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS AND HAVE OWNED MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC AND HAVE NEVER SEEN ROTORS DETERIORATE LIKE ON THIS 2000 SILVERADO. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO HOLD CHEVROLET RESPONSIBLE THEY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PURCHASE ROTORS FROM INFERIOR VENDERS AND THEN BLAME THE PROBLEM ON THE CUSTOMERS CLIMATE, I AM A FAR WAYS FROM THE NORTHERN STATES. I STILL HAVE NOT HAD MY TAILGATE CABLES REPLACED AS THE DEALER NEVER HAS THEM IN STOCK. BUT THEY ARE STILL GOOD. WHAT ABOUT MY 1996 CHEVROLET S-10 THOSE CABLES HAVE RUSTED AND BROKE AND ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. *NM
