Brake pads

Freedavid · May 5, 2019

I’ve currently had my 2019 Silverado for 2 months and it currently has 4500 miles on it. The front brake pads are at 50% and the rear are at 75% . I never slam on the brakes and as I drive it feels as if it’s sliding back and forth .

I wouldn’t rely on the digital info. Visually check them. I have 5200 miles and am at 93% and 95%

Chevy truck pads have always impressed me. I got around 70k+ on first set of fronts my last two Silverado's. And when it did come time to change I went right to the dealer for pads instead of auto parts store. Hopefully its the same for 19's?

OH GOD YES. I am experiencing a slight resistance in my drive. It feels like i was towing something. Almost like the calipers were stuck or squeezing most of the time. So I'm playing around with the buttons and I check my brake life status and at only 3200 miles my brake life is reading at 66%. I took it in to the dealer with this concern and it even dropped to 65% as I drove in the service bay. They tested it and said they didn't feel any abnormality and that maybe the sensors were giving a false reading. Oh and I also brought up that horrible hard shifting everyone else is experiencing (5.3 8spd). And an engine knocking when idling on a cold start. Anyway going back to the brakes, they reset the percentage to 100% said my pads were fine. Ok. Now 1200 miles later I'm down to 69% and that's AFTER they reset it to 100% at the 3200. If they hadn't reset it I'm assuming I'd be at a what? 34% reading?

Everything you said in the comment I can relate to 100%. I’ve took it to the dealer and they claim nothing is wrong.

I find every once in awhile it feels like the brakes are dragging or like you described almost like you have a few thousand pounds in the back.

Bad news. Even after they reset my brake pad life to 100% at 3200 miles. Guess what. It went down to 15% at only 6500 miles. But NOTHING is wrong with it according to the service department. So they swapped out the pad life sensor and reset it again to 100% to shut me up and well, we'll see what happens.

I believe there is a way you can delete this option from your info center.

Obviously it’s bullshit. Mine went 10 percent in 1500 miles and I had a Ford Taurus Police Interceptor that went about 90000 before it needed pads!!

I turned mine off under settings in the info center because I had the same problem. It’s as easy as unclicking the box.
