1998 Chevrolet C/K Series Brakes Problems

“Dt: the caller has a 1998 vehicle from a dealer that bought the vehicle from an auction. The vehicle was brought to us from canada by the auction company and sold to a dealer where the caller bought the vehicle. He said there was recall 05v379000 on other years of vehicle, and he would like this vehicle to be included in recall. Dealer and manufacturer said they could not help him because this vehicle was from canada. They would give him $1000.00 if he bought a new vehicle. Caller did not know it was brought from canada and bought by dealer. Caller had some close calls.”

“We have a 1998 chevy z71 pickup and have had for several years. We have continual brake problems with this truck. We have replaced rotors, calipers, brake pads all several times. Sometimes replacing brake pads as often as every six months. Still have the same spongy brake pedal with too much pedal travel. Also still have longer stopping distances than we should have. The truck has also had the intermittent wiper problem, the wipers sometimes work sometimes not, we paid for a replacement wiper board and repaired the problem. …”
