Did you find a solution for your Brakes?  

Yes GM repurchased my truck. 

[RGA]

Yes GM re-purchased the truck for every single penny that it cost me +3 oil changes an extra year of California registration which is $1000 and 1500 in coupons towards my new 2025AT4X 2500 HD I received the new truck on January 29 the day I fell and broke my freaking hip so I've had the truck now for three months and got 500 miles on it love it

FYI from the day GM offered to re-purchase was back in August 2024 it was November 6 that I actually gave them my old truck and ordered the new one which took three months to get off the assembly line but it was delivered on the day they said it would be delivered so I was technically without a truck for almost 7 months because once they made that offer I stopped driving the old truck as not to get any  damage on it or more mileage

Well guys GM actually came through after the repurchase of my 2023 AT4 that was my retirement truck and it was pretty sweet but I wasn't gonna get stuck with a truck that needed breaks every 12 to 20 kmiles , so a week ago Dublin Buick GMC called to tell me that my 2025 AT4X 2500 HD  that was a special order due to the 6.6 gas motor on 11/6 was ready and  all detailed out and ready to pick up but it was too late in the day for me to drive 100 miles round trip .

so I decided to wash off my Tonneu top that I bought for the 2023   so while I was washing that off soap and water and some stuff to  make it shine like new because hell it was new when I took it off .

but DAM IF I  DIDNT SLIP and fall on my concrete driveway that  has a little slope to it not much but wet and soapy that's all it took to slip and fall landed just right and broke my left femur the fracture went all the way through pretty low rotated slid up got  muscle damage anyway that's another story in the hospital for a week I cannot even get in this truck it's too tall for a gimp andits too painful but give me a couple weeks, and it was my left leg so all I need is my right go pedal foot I love in this truck man it's looking pretty good inside is loaded got the massaging seats got some other stuff that I don't believe was part of the AT4X package,

The good part of this  my daughter flew in from Scotland where she lives to help my wife take care of me for a week so that was a bonus out of all of this I only get to see her once a year so now it's twice a year back to the truck it's BITCHEN hopefully they fixed the brake issues they claim to have. I would like to hear some other GM REpurchase stories or am I the only one with a truck story well hopefully the picture loads sorry for the long post guys but that's what oxycodone does to me and the other reason I can't drive the truck happy happy happy as the other part the oxy does to an old 66 year-old man next week on Tuesday

Hi RGA, hope you are feeling better by now... If by chance you come across this revived thread, you have me wondering on how are the brakes holding up on the new 2025 AT4X 2500 HD? Any early signs of wrapping going on with say either yours or anyone else's viewing this thread?

 

My 2024, 2500 had early milage signs of the wrapping coming on and then have gotten really bad at 18.5k mileage.

 

In studying this growing situation of failing brake syndromes, though the following info is for the 1500's, it sure seems as if the 2500's followed suit of the same bad brake material defects.

Feeling great.

I can’t tell you how the brakes are doing because GM bought that truck back and I’m now driving a 2025 AT4X 2500 HD .

I do not believe it was a material problem at all it was an issue with their stability control overworking every little movement of the with a steering wheel was causing those back brakes too just constantly over work . If it had simply been a rotor  issue GM would’ve just replaced the rotors AGAIN THEY DID ONCE ,,,they wouldn’t have given me a new truck at 10 K over what I paid for the first one they knew they had an electronic issue I hope it’s fixed cause my new truck has the same damn thing stability control ,

with just under 10,000 miles on it this yea I have had zero issues great truck I think best I’ve ever owned.

[RGA]

Reading thru your links , I never had break pad issues just warped rotors all four ,the 2023 at4 was my 5th or 6th GM 2500 HD Starting in 02 and all those trucks were work trucks I always got dam near 100k miles out of OEM GM BREAKS ,

A FREIND OF MINE HAD A 2023 2500 HD still does and has had no issues the DIFFERENCE is his is a LT MODEL and does not have the stability control and he still has the truck uses it for work I’m convinced it’s that damn stability control who needs it I don’t need it I can’t delete it I tried to order the new truck without it and couldn’t,

The last article you included about Heat not warping brake rotors I’ve read that in the past and I can tell you my rotors looked beautiful no uneven pad deposit where they might the same thickness at every point around the rotor they were warped as I recall anywhere from.012 - .018 that is a lot that was not due to uneven pad wear deposit the pads themselves were beautiful still after 10,000 miles they were at 90% thickness and wearing quite even so who knows we’ll never know because there’s no recall involved

FYI AFTER THE REPURCHASE AND CHECKS CASHED I ASKED THE GM REP THAT WAS DEALING WITH MY CASE WHY DID GM OUT OF THE BLUE OFFER TO BUY MY TRUCK SHE SAID BECAUSE THEY KNEW IF I LITIGATED IT THROUGH LEMON LAW IN CALIFORNIA THEY WERE  GUARANTEED TO LOSE,,, THE COMMUNIST STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAS ONE THING THAT OTHERS DON’T AND THAT’S THE LEMON LAW OTHER THAN THAT THE STATE SUCKS
