I’m not sure if you misunderstood my post or if it didn’t make sense the way I wrote it, but I wasn’t trying to get my brake pads replaced under warranty. I was simply trying to point out what seems to be a defect from the manufacturer. I’m more bothered by the fact that at my 35,000 mile oil change, they didn’t identify the problem, nor did they during any of my dealer service oil changes. It’s clearly a GM problem and I’m shocked that everyone here that’s aware of it whether you’re an owner or a technician that works on these trucks allows this and we all become complacent about it. I’m not done with this as I’ve created a case file number and I’ll be pursuing it further. I’ll post up to let anyone know that’s interested my findings and results.

CURRENT MILEAGE - 37,750 I'm hoping this forum will steer me to where I need to be with regard to the same/similar issue with my brake pad monitor issue. Since the purchase of my 2021 Trail Boss LT in August of '21, I've been bringing my truck to the dealer for 5k intermittent oil changes regularly. Simply for peace of mind and documentation of quality care for the vehicle. With the cost of oil and filters, its worth it to me to take it there vs DIY like I used to. I'm not as nimble as I once was I mention this here because I feel its important for anyone reading this, to know the level of care I've demonstrated since taking ownership of my truck. Id also like to mention, that over the many years of vehicle ownership, I've always prided myself with getting longer than normal wear out of my sets of brakes! Now that I've mentioned all of that, let me get to the important part. Not long after my 35k service, I had a message pop up on the gauge cluster verifying that i "replaced rear brake pads?" ........ummmm no, that wasn't done as I'm still on the original brakes..... 35k miles would NEVER in my history of owning ANY vehicle, been a point to be concerned about brake changes. It seemed to happen a few more times soon after that but only when I used the electronic parking brake. So I'm thinking, ok, ill have the service peeps take care of that when I arrive for my next oil change at 40k. Just this past weekend, I happened to get a blowout (unpatchable gouge) so I brought the truck in for a full set of new tires as the factory tires were not looking their best, I was already looking for a new set anyway. So while there at the tire shop, I asked the tech if I could just take a quick peek at the brake pads and rotors on all four. What I found next blew my doors off! My front pads had about 65% and looked symmetrically worn (aka NORMAL). Then we stepped to the rears.....WHOA! The REAR INNER pads were almost down to the metal on the pad itself! AND, both right and left sides of the rears were SYMMETRCALLY WORN! The outer pads on the rears were also low, AND also symmetrically worn, but not nearly as low as the inners. If it were only one caliper and it seemed to be an isolated issue, I could live with that but when I realized how evenly the inner rears were both worn, that spoke volumes to me. The tech advised that I get them replaced ASAP. So i left the tire shop with 4 new tires and a raised stress level! First thing I did after that was Googled "2021 Silverado Brake Issues".....that lead me here to the GM Forum. I immediately called my local Chevy dealer for appt to get brakes replaced and explained what had taken place up that point. I asked the svc advisor if he's ever heard of this happening and to my surprise, he said no. This concerns me because now it seems like its going to be an uphill battle to get help on the matter with Chevy backing their product as a warrantable issue. I couldn't find any recalls related to this but I did see some articles here on the forum. I'm asking for any advice or direction from ANYONE with similar brake issues to help me out. Thanks in advance everyone
