Brakes Warranty

[N900WM]

Got 30,000 miles on me truck.

The rotors are warped. Not bad but getting annoying.

 

What do you guys think? Is this warranty or will my dealer call it normal wear items?

I'd bet that's normal wear and tear. A friend of mine had a problem with the front brakes glazing on their surburban, so the dealership replace the brakes when it was serviced...but they only have 3,000 miles on their truck.

YEP!!,As long as your under time wise (36 months from delivery date) they should cover them under warrenty,we do here!

I have been told 7,000 miles on any brakes. That is what I was told when my parking brake quit on me.

I think it is a dealer's call. Local dealer here fairly well stops warranty coverage on brake components after 15,000 miles.

 

Personally, I think Chevy/GMC really are conducting a rip-off with the brakes. The rotors are substandard, easy to warp, and the OEM pads and rotors don't seem to work well as a team. I'm referring to 2003 models.

 

I can't believe just how quick a fix can be had by replacing the rotors and pads with aftermarket rotors and pads. The difference in feel with this 2003 model is simply astonishing. In my opinion, nearly any aftermarket replacement will result in an improvement.

Yep,your right,thats the problem its a dealers call and GM needs to make it more cut and dry,as I said before we here at our dealership cover the rotors until 3-yrs. or 36,000 miles and the pads until 30,000 miles.

Had the same problem. 27,000 miles and 27 months, they resurfaced the rotors but put the old pads back on the truck. I told them I wanted new rotors and pads since Iv'e been cheated out of rotor life with them having 1 cut on them already. No luck with what I wanted, but no charge for what they did.
