2003 chevrolet silverado brake problem. contact states brakes pulsated in rear rotors. brake were heavily corroded and dealer replaced rear rotors. *bf the dealer told the consumer that since the use of asbestos brakes had been discontinued, brake quality and performance had been reduced. the dealer went on to explain that the pad material forms deposits on the rotors causing the surface to become less smooth and eventually giving a pulsating sensation leading to poor braking performance. on july 20, 2007 the consumer began experiencing the pulsating issue again, only to be told that the brake problem was due to non-use, however the consumer disagreed with their findings, stating the vehicle was driven at least once a week. the consumer took possession of the old rotors and soon discovered that the rear rotors were worn twice as hard as the front rotors that were original for the vehicle. the consumer stated the rear brakes were producing the majority of stopping power on the vehicle. the left rear door would not close properly. the dealer ordered a new latch *jb
