Defective Brake Pad Wear Sensor?

[Sparky134]

My 2020 Silverado 1500 LTZ Diesel has close to 100 fake, new brake pads sign on the dash board. Now it is says service the sensor, 1% wear left on it. IF CHEVYS HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM LIKE THIS. Why isn’t there a recall? Instead of members on this site calling the dealership, and being told without inspecting, you need new brake pads?

 

The truck already went through almost $2,000 in brake pads, rotors, at around 40,000 mostly highway mileage. Mininimal brake usage!

Is this supposed to be in English?  "close to 100 fake, new brake pads sign on the dash board"

 

 

Pull the wheels off.  Check the brake pad thickness.  Check the sensors out.  You could have good pads and the sensors aren't in to the worn out position, but have an electrical fault with the sensor or the plug wiring to the sensor.
