Parking Brake Premature wearout

At 25K miles the emergency brakes required replacement.  There  was an actuator failure on one side and the brake pads were worn out to the point where the dealership could not get the actuator to reset.  Therefore the pads for the emergency brakes needed replacement.  Has anyone had the emergency brake pads replaced at 25K miles ?   Tried dealing with GM and they will not work with me on this stating the brakes are only covered for 7500 miles and are a wear out item.  I have never had emergency brakes fail in 25k mile on a vehicle before.  Has anyone experienced this as GM will not work with me on the cost to replace the brakes at $1400.

Parking brake shoes are like $60 or $70 bucks for OEM.  How are they coming up with $1400 to replace them?  Even if they are throwing an actuator at it, the actauator is around $250?  I would question the dealer and their quote.

Sounds to me like the actuator failed, causing the brake to drag and hence, wearing out the pad.  Technically, those pads shouldnt really "wear out" as they are merely holding the vehicle and not stopping it from motion.  If the failed actuator is covered under warranty, i would push the issue of the failed part wearing out the pad.

Have them order 84582652 and 84582651.  These are the entire assembled parking brake with actuator.  Just the actuator is $482.92 ITSELF.  These brake assemblies are $308.77 ea.  

 

You are still looking at probably 3hrs per side of labor as they will have to pull the hubs to do this.  

 

Actually, this is probably what they quoted you.  So yea, its right.

States that have vehicle inspections (NY for example) you need them to pass inspection.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
