TODAY, 24 JULY 2002 @ 6:30 AM PDT AT 65 MPH, THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE HUB ON OUR 1998 CHEVROLET S-10 BLAZER. ALL FIVE WHEEL STUDS SHEARED. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP WHILE RIDING ON THE BRAKE DISC. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO WOOLEVER TIRE CO, 205 ANACAPA ST, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93101. THE BRAKE ROTOR AND ALL TIRE STUDS ARE BEING REPLACED. I HAVE HIGH RESOLUTION DIGITAL PICTURES OF THE INDIVIDUAL STUDS AS WELLE AS THE WHEEL AND BRAKE ASSEMBLIES. CHEVROLET HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND HAS STARTED A CASE (1-18936109) REGARDING THIS FAILURE. I'VE ASKED THE TIRE DEALER TO SAVE ALL THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

WHILE DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL BRAKES DID NOT GRAB, CAUSING VEHICLE TO GO INTO EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER WAS CONTACTED. TECHNICIAN STATED THAT BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

ABS BRAKES THIS IS MY SECOND TIME IN FOR THE BRAKES,MY TRUCK HAS 17,200 MILES ON IT,AN I TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME WHILE UNDER WARRENTY AN THEY SAID TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG,NOW THAT THE WARRENTY HAS RAN OUT,THERES SOMETHING WRONG AN I THINK BRAKES SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 17,200 MILES ,THIS WILL BE MY CHEVY ,THIS TRUCK IS JUNK.*AK

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW IN 98/I DON'T DRIVE MUCH AN IT ONLY HAS 17,100MILES ON IT,AN THE BRAKES MAKES AN AWFUL NOISE IN THE FRONT,UNTIL THE I HIT THE BRAKES THEN IT QUITS IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN ITS MOVING.THE WARRENTIE RAN OUT SEPT.1ST,BUT I THINK THE BRAKES AS WELL AS THE TRUCK SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 17,100 MILES.THIS WILL BE MY LAST CHEVY.

ON 08/05/01 I NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE ROTOR WAS GROOVED FROM METAL TO METAL CONTACT BETWEEN THE ROTOR AND PAD. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD ABOUT 32900 ORIGINAL MILES. I DO NOT TOW OR HAUL ANYTHING. I DRIVE ABOUT 20 MILES A DAY. ON 08/17/01 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A BRAKE SHOP TO HAVE THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKES REPAIRED. I KNEW THAT IT WAS ABNORMAL TO HAVE METAL TO METAL CONTACT ON A VEHICLE WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE. THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT CALIPER HAD FAILED, OR "HUNG UP" CAUSING UNEVEN WEAR BETWEEN THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT SYSTEMS. THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKES WERE METAL TO METAL. THE LEFT FRONT CALIPER HAD ALSO FAILED. THE OUTSIDE PAD HAD ABOUT 80% PAD THICKNESS. THE LEFT INSIDE PAD WAS WEARING UNEVENLY. THE REAR OF THE PAD WAS ALMOST METAL TO METAL WHILE THE FRONT WAS ABOUT 60% THICK. I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND A TRAINED TECHNICAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR. COMMON SENSE, AND MY TRAINING TELLS ME THAT THESE DEFECTIVE CALIPERS, AND THEIR PREMATURE FAILURE, CAUSE A CONSIDERABLE DECREASE IN BRAKING EFFICIENCY. AS A SIDE NOTE, THE MECHANIC WHO WORKED ON MY VEHICLE MENTIONED TO ME THAT HE HAD A CHEVY S10 IN THE DAY BEFORE WITH ABOUT 36000 MILES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK

CURRENTLY, THERE ARE NO BRAKES, AND SQUEAL LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO GO OUT. CONSUMER FOUND OUT THROUGH A MECHANIC THE BRAKES SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED. *AK
