2001, CHEV TAHOE, 28000 MI BRAKES SQUEAL. HAVE TAKEN THE TAHOE TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE. FINALLY TOOK IT TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC AND HE AGREES THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES MECHANICALLY EXCEPT THE LOUD SQUEAL. I AM TOLD THAT I CAN REPLACE THEM IF I WANT TO GET RID OF THE SQUEAL, BUT I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THE BRAKES SINCE THEY SOLD THE VEHICLE TO ME WITH A SQUEAL. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 5 DAYS OLD THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND THERE WERE NO BRAKES. AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP REPLACED ALL FOUR ROTORS. CONSUMER PAID $1,200.00 FOR REPAIRS. *AK
