GM sold trucks with defective brakes from 2001 to 2004.

My 2002 Chevrolet pickup, 1500 series' brakes are nearly worthless at 19.000 miles of light duty use. They were failing at 12,000 miles but the dealer would not admit it. I have a repair estimate of $571.00 from the dealer now to fix the problem caused by rusted rotors, a very common problem with light duty trucks from 2001 to 2004. In 2005 GM switched from disc rear brakes back to drums because of this problem. The National Highway Traffic & Safety Administrations' web site has thousands of complaints about this problem, however, their reporting mechanism breaks the complaints into so many different catagories regarding vehicle type ( for example, the following catagories all pertain to the same type: "c series", "1500", "c1500", "silverado", "silverado 1500", "pickup", "chevrolet truck") that the problem seems diluted. At any rate the problem is well documented but never subject to recall and often not warranted by GM. I recently filed a complaint with GM Consumer Affairs, in Detroit, MI. asking for cost sharing to fix the brakes but was denied because of "low use". The only effect low use had was to delay identification of the extent of my trucks' brake failure until after the normal warranty period. I am now filing a complaint with the Mich. Att. General and the Nat. Highw. Traffic & Safety Adm. I am seeking parties with a similar complaint to join in a class action lawsuit. There must be over a million GM vehicles from this time frame that have failed brakes once or several times or are going to soon, whether bought new or used. If you are interested in legal action please contact me at lookg@tds.net There are several large law firms that will take such cases without cost to the clients or consumers.
