What owners wrote

My complaint is the braking system on my 2003 chevrolet silverado 1500 extended cab, 4x4 truck. The brakes have always felt spongy. After complaining about the "low" brake pedal, my dealer advised that I needed to have my rear rotors repaired & the rear brake shoes replaced., so I had the work done. One week later, I again complained that now when I'm stopped at a traffic light, the brake pedal would go even lower.

Wipers started malfunctioning and would not change speed. Soon after, they would not turn off at all. I had to pull the fuse to stop them, and have had to stop and replace the fuse in the rain. This is very dangerous.
