Description of the problem | Both front brakes on this vehicle wore evenly, paper thin in 8000 miles - this is abnormal since my old astro went more than20,000 miles and still had plenty left when i changed them - both wheels spin freely without binding - my best guess is that the back brakes may not be grabbing (or the fronts may be grabbing too hard - chevrolet is trying to blame my driving - this is very dangerous since if the lining wears off it will pull to that side while braking and possibly cause a crash - i do not ride my brakes and do all highway driving - brakes are supposed to last longer than 8000 miles. *ak |
