BUYER BEWARE! ALL 2019-Current GMC/Chevrolet Sierra/Silverado Brake Issues. JUST ISNT OK

[@DjStalin100]

Just saw your video. I had to change my suburban rotors and pads after 35k. Went with Summit Racing brand rotors and Duralast Ceramic Gold pads. Now 100k, no issues with rotors.

My 2008 Silverado has 260K miles and it still has the original brakes.

[@markmanning5683]

Ohhhh Soooo True, my personal issue in my 2019 Silverado is the 8 Speed Transmission. Local Dealer where I purchased the Truck tried to convince me that I needed to do a Triple Flush of the ATF and have the "Upgrade" ATF installed "$800.00 cost and I was going to have to pay for this, even though GM has a TSB out for the issue. I went to my local GMC dealer and they did the Flush on the Drive Train Warranty. 500 miles later, the Shutter and Slipping issue returned as bad as the first encounter. Now the GMC Dealer replaced the Torque Converter and Valve Body. 730 miles later, Transmission Slips when cold and I hear a Clunk noise and feel the clunk accelerating or slowing. Now get this, all the issues began with mileage 7400 on the odometer. Currently have 8490 miles. If they don't replace the entire Transmission, I and going to sell this Truck and NEVER buy a GM product again. I know I am not alone here.

I have originals on 2013 with 133,000 miles , no problem , your caliper is stuck. Have someone hit brake pedal and you will see caliper is not moving. Most Lilly to tight will all the clips installed. A little dirt or corrosion will cause it. Many cars have this issue .

Why are ther no dust cover on the rotors? That would allow dirt and rocks get stuck between rotor and pads. If the outside of the rotor is in good shape. I dont think its a rotor issue. Just my 2 cents.

I flushed my 2017 6 months ago. Had planned on driving it till it died, but at 100,000 miles it was breaking down every other month, and then need a transmission which would have been the third transmission I had to buy between two silverados with a total combined mileage of 320,000. That would have been five transmissions total in these two trucks. Praying my new Titan is much better.

[@mikesamson1930]

I have a recent GM truck. It only has 6K on it, the brakes have been great, especially for a truck. I haven't checked the inside rotor surfaces, but the outer surfaces look great. Very little brake dust too. Very good initial grab, and just solid braking. Hopefully, I don't have your issues in my future. I feel for you though.

On course this was stock brakes, not upgraded!

[@karlschauff7989]

No issues with the brakes on my 2019. Same with the 2014. The rotors on both of my trucks are some of the better factory rotors I have seen. Particularly since I live in the rust belt and might wash the salt off the rotors a couple times each winter. The nitirided finish they use is awesome. Pads are just okay but they don't make dust like the Ram 1500 I had for a year. The worst brakes I've dealt with are Ford OEM brakes unfortunately (rotors are okay, but the calipers kinda suck).

[@chuckgladfelter]

Rock Auto is your friend. Brakes are easy to DIY and those Brembos aren't made by GM. I would replace them myself, but in all fairness to GM, their quality is hit and miss like everyone else post pandemic. I have a 2023 Cadillac that's stellar. I have heard issues with their trucks, though.

[@frankhoward7645]

I purchased a used 2003 Odyssey in 2013. It needed major engine work which I didn't get around to until 2016. When I got it going, I had to replace the rotors as they were so rusted from sitting in my garage for 3-1/2 years, they were useless. I think you have the same problem. Cast iron rotors rust when they're not used. That's why new ones come coated with oil and are covered in plastic.

Yes, most of the newer vehicles are junk. I bought a 2019 Ford F150 XLT brand new. Paid $52k. Mine had the 5.0 V8 and 10spd auto. The engine has had oil consumption issues since new. The engine ticks and knocks. Transmission erratic shifting. Ford says normal.! L/R axel broke and almost came out of the housing! Dash warped on top (replaced under warranty) horn pad on steering wheel cracked twice. Luckily, my brakes are ok with 75k miles. I hear what you're saying ! Expensive junk !! Last good Ford was my 2002 F150. I put 305,000 miles on it. No major repairs, and the a/c still worked fine !!

That's pretty strange, only the insides surfaces are doing that. I can't image the rotors would be different composition from the outside to inside surfaces. It is a cast part, that is machined. Maybe the inside pads are defective somehow. That is pretty crazy though.

I've had an 18 chevy, 19 3500hd, 2020 3500hd, and now a 24 gmc. All with the standard brakes. Never had these trucks back to the dealer. My 18 has 115k on it still with original pads. Brembos are fine for performance applications, but not noted for longevity. Sounds like the mistake was going for the brembo brakes. Also makes no sense to compare your truck to the car. Hook an 8000lb trailer to the audi and see how it does.

[@rtracer360]

Steel rotors are steel rotors. Factory brake system sucked in comparison as far as braking from speeds. Had a 15 before the 19. I brake from 100mph frequently, never tow anything. Brembos worked great when they were not rotted on the inside of the rotors. Never had brakes wear so fast in my life on anything else whether car or truck. There are numbers of people that have had to replace their brakes before 20k miles. Not ok. You got lucky. All manufacturers suck now. That will be my next video.

[@danwhitson610]

Yea I think that's the case. I had a 2014 and have a 2019 and the rotors on both were great, particularly for living in the rust belt. I might wash my truck twice each winter and the rotors still have the nitride coating, barely any rust. Calipers are fine too. Last I read, GM uses Akebono calipers. Not crazy about the brake pads but they're not as bad as the Ram 1500 I had, which made tons of brake dust. I agree it's probably a Brembo issue -- likely a seized slide pin.

Im a retired mechanic and told them ill do it myself. $900 later. Read a service bulletin about premature brake pad wear. Says to replace pads only. Yah right after rotors are shot.

[@rtracer360]

I had suggested when the dealer turned my rotors that they replace the pads. They said they were fine lol. Now at 12k miles junk lol. I used to be a mechanic as well. I was going to do the job myself. But even at my cost it was 1400 and change for pads and rotors all around bc of brembos. So I basically paid an extra 3k for brakes that were junk at 5k miles and again at 12 lol. junk steel. The suck part is that we all just move forward and deal with it and just ear the cost. When it should be these dealers eating it. Sucks.

Well, NOT all 2019-Current Sierra/Silverado have brake issues, just yours and maybe a handful more. Don’t believe the dealer when they tell you all of them are having issues. Judging by the comment section, you got a bad one. But it is not effecting ALL 2019 to Current models.

[@dennisandrews9170]

I've had a lot of GM trucks in my time. Unlike you, I go away for weeks at a time, and the truck sits for that period of time. I would have to do brakes every two years because the inside of the rotors failing. The rotors through out the years were from different off shore manufacturers. It was no fault of the rotors, it was the caliper sliders seizing up. Here is the kicker, all my rotors look exactly like yours. I'm not saying that your problem is from corrosion like mine, but maybe it is something else to do with that mechanism. Just saying.

Why not drop the coin on a quality OLD truck that humans can work on like an early 2000s LS-powered ride? I can afford a new truck for cash but I'm a lifelong mechanic who has nothing but contempt for current machines and if given one would sell it fast enough to leave shock waves. Since you barely drive your rides a clean early 2000s machine could last the rest of your life. I flog mine and none of my rides are newer than 2000. Another option is leasing instead of purchase since there's little point in being trapped by ownership.

[@T18skyguy]

Theres a history to this issue. Some decades ago we didn't have warping rotors or exhaust manifolds. They were much better quality because they had nickel in the cast iron. They decided to take the nickel out to save money and that makes the metal more susceptible to warping, cracking and erosion. Those rotors must be made of pot metal now. It's a disgrace they ought to go out of business.

Why buy a good looking brick. Recalls don't stop the addiction to buying cars and trucks that are garbage. They design them to fail knowing you'll keep buying them. If vehicles were designed to last then no one would need to buy a new vehicle. The auto industry knows the buying habits and buying addiction people have for their bricks on wheels. You'll probably buy another GMC brick because your addicted to their pixie dust. American cars, SUVs and trucks look good but they turn into bricks. The biggest mistake made was bailing out the American auto industry when it collapsed. They should've let it tank so something new and great would've come out of the ashes.

The steel used in the upgraded brembos is junk. Absolute junk. We won't own the audis when they finally need major repair. And I would do it myself should it need them in the mean time. And not all German cars are worth nothing in a few years. In the garage is a 2013 c63 amg p31 with 11k miles, which in last 4 years has appreciated 15-20k in value.

[@rtracer360]

Yea unfortunately I still like them. Test drove everything from Toyota to Rivian in the last week. Still leaning towards a at4x bc of the new interior. Honestly feel like all the trucks suck now. Quality work is a thing of the past. No matter how much you spend

WOW what a POS. I just did 72,000 Miles on 1 set of front brake pads on a Rav4 and the rotors are still good, replaced the pads for $60. But for sure this was the max I could get, there was just a hair left on the pads. I Changed them just in time!

[@AH-qm8ub]

It sounds like you have a bigger issue with Brembo than you do GM engineering. 16 Denali, 17 Escalade, and now a 24 ZR2 all stock and no issues with standard brakes. The only “issue” I ever had with a GM and brakes was upgrading my CTSV to Willwoods. By issue, like you’re complaining about, there just expensive to maintain. The pricing you looked up online of the OE Genuine Chevy parts, not the Brembo parts. Also, you said early, it was out of warranty, so why would you expect them to replace them under warranty?

2022 and up tundra have the worst motors known to man... really just KZbin search it is terrible. Do not buy a new tundra the 5.7 was the best

[@rtracer360]

@quyle9483 looking at getting a 24 hybrid. Man if that sucks too. Idk what truck to buy. I'm legit not impressed with any of them. And I need truck seeing as I sold the AT4. I'm not buying tho, this time I am leasing. AT4X has best interior, best exhaust note. I can't do a ram unless trx, (hate the huge volume knob for shifting) Also I don't want to keep a 100k$ truck outside. Never been a fan of Ford. So would only get a baby raptor and they are full msrp. Don't like mid size trucks. Paint on tundra I'm looking at wasn't great. Ram trucks the paint sucks. I just dont honestly think any of them are worth the money. But I need a truck. Sucks

[@karlschauff7989]

@@quyle9483 Yea 2022+ Tundras are having main/crank bearing failures like crazy. That's on top of all the other problems they've been having. Toyota "quality" is a myth anymore. I had a 2016 Tacoma that was so bad I was very close to getting it lemon'd. Turns out a ton of those trucks have had engine failures too and they definitely weren't due to neglect or abuse. the 2GR is just junk compared to the old 4.0L.

The amount of money you spent on the truck and the low miles, there's no way you should be going on your third set of rotors. I would trade the junk pile in and get a toyota tundra. Shouldn't of got the fancy brake upgrade.

Those are brembos not GM brakes. I have a 24’ 2500 HD with the standard brakes with no issues. I’ve had brembos on my Subaru and they chew up rotors.

Wow that makes no sense 3,000 brake kit dollar brake kit cost $3,000 to fix that makes no sense😂😢😢

[@rtracer360]

Exactly. Do it yourself for 1400 which I was gonna do. But the stealership in total was prob more than 3k with labor, i never did bother to get their quote for labor. It sucked all in all. It was my dream truck that broke my heart lmfao. On to the next one.

Yea. It cost 350 (650 thru dealer) for one front rotor with the brembo brake package. Idk what your talking about. Maybe you did a pad slap on your elevation for that money. 🤔

[@IanThecrackerstacker]

5 year old rotors my guy. Do the brakes yourself and save yourself some moeny. 😂

[@rtracer360]

5 year old brakes on the audi right next to it. No issues stopping from 120 mph. 11 year old brakes on the amg in the garage, pads worn maybe 1/16. Rotors mint. No issue stopping from 160+ mph. I was going to do the brakes myself. As I do on all my cars. But 1300$ on parts my cost. Stealership wanted like 2500 in parts. Either way brakes brand new cost 3k. Calipers must be 100 each huh lol. I sold the truck to carmax last week. Value has been dropping fast. Not putting 1300 into brakes on a 12k miles vehicle I bought upgraded brakes for.. they should have put new rotors on it at 5k under warranty. But brakes are wearable.

[@tylerterveer57]

Brembo brakes make me cringe. That being said my 2020 6.2 Sierra Denali 1500 factory brakes are barely worn in at 45k miles and work just fine, and I drive it aggressively. Have a 2016 sierra with 100k on it, still life on factory rotors and pads maybe 5-10k miles left on them. Don't ever buy brembos. I had a 2020 genesis with them and they were known to warp rotors on the g70 and kia stinger (same car practically). Sold the genesis fast. Brembos are a sales gimmick, even when they work they will wear out faster and cost more to replace. Honestly in my experience GM has had the best brakes out of everything i've owned. Especially an old 05 and 06 caddy sts with upgraded FACTORY brakes, not brembos.

[@johnl3502]

Unfortunately, all makers are producing problematic models. Stealerships are goldmines of profit from doing the repairs needed. The only way you can keep up is to be an amateur or professional tech and have the tools and facilities to do the work. There's a wealth of knowledge online, but one must invest time and money to be this person. Heaven help you, if you have to depend on stealerships for your repairs. I feel for the owners that have these issues of factory defects. It also doesn't help that many manufacturers have products and parts made off-shore. It's all by design. The people that take your t ax e s and make up laws are in bed with the builders and the outcome will not be good. It's been my observation that the majority of vehicle owners abuse and ignore the regular needs of vehicles. Failure to do so ends up in expensive repairs. Only with sacrifice of time and energy can one stay on top of our vehicle's needs. But, most definitely, the design and quality of the finished product has steadily declined. They could make them better. But, they won't. They need people to buy new cars and trucks. The End.

[@davvila2244]

[@ngraves1002]

Seems more like a BREMBO problem and a rich guy who is butt hurt about a brake setup that he over paid for just because it was Brembo and could brag about it. When I ordered my truck, saw the option and thought. Only a dumbass would pay for that, knowing any repairs would be expensive as hell just because it says brembro.

The new Tundra is a POS. Engine failures like crazy. Just about every youtuber that bought a 2022+ Tundra has had their engine blow up and Toyota drags their feet with engine replacements unless you have a big youtube channel. The new Tacoma had the front diff fail when TFL Truck (youtube) was driving one on a slippery surface, barely even giving it throttle. The 3rd gen Tacoma is a pos. My 2016 was practically a lemon and Consumer Reports rated it least reliable midsize truck for like 3 or 4 years in a row. Unless you can find a 2nd gen Tundra with the 5.7 that doesn't have the infamous cam tower oil leak, there aren't many options. If you can go midsize for your needs, the new Nissan might not be bad.
