What owners wrote
Brake pedal goes sponges and all the way to the floor. The truck had over 120,000 miles before rear brakes were replaced. In that time I went through 8 sets of brakes and rotors. In 2005 I rear ended a car at about 30 MPH. The brakes went to the floor. Local chevy dealership replaced a defective brake booster assemble. This was the second brake booster/ master cylinder assembly replace on my truck since 2005. Since then. I have lost brakes on the truck 4 more times.
While standing on the tailgate, the support cables broke. The consumer drove the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and the mechanic replaced the tailgate.
