JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE CAR. SORRY BUT I AM
SOOOOOOOOOO TIRED of that old post being rehashed adinfinitum....the guy bought a car he either cant afford or doesn't like and seems to just not want to move on....

 

Sh*t, Jet1, I'm having the same problem as you: my hybrid brakes work perfectly, also. This is a totally repeatable issue. Every single time I try to stop, the brakes just stop the car. Go figure. The steering seems to be doing the same thing.
I hear the frames on the Silverado don't even rust and fall apart! Imagine that.

 

My Brakes are great also. Took them apart at the six month interval mainly do to winter, cleaned and lub, no problems noted.

 

you guys are very lucky! I have a 2009 escalade hybrid and the brakes works very well too and..... there is hardly any brake dust!

 

If you are driving right Escalade... there won't be any brake dust. I'm planning a ski trip to Co for Easter. Don't know if I will take the black Escalade 4X4 again or the Yukon 4X4I have been driving. 2008 with 98,575 on the odometer. The Slade lets me use the ski rack but burns a little more fuel.

Will be adding pictures to my collection at the 100k mark.

And the brakes are perfect.

 

Have you had to replace the pads yet? If so, how many miles did you get out of them?

 

FJ: we have worn out tires ~ 50K miles. No brake pads yet. I should probably look at them. One of our Tahoes in our little fleet has 150,000. Mostly highway.

 

You know, I just don't get it...I tried to duplicate ya'lls issue here and you are absolutely right, without fail, the brakes stop the vehicle every time. I am think we should report this to the NHTSA.

Don't you think the pads should last much longer on the hybrids than a non hybrid? The hybrid braking is handling much of the chore without wear to the pads/rotors.

 

The much larger 2 Mode hybrid bus has twice the expected brake life according to the city service fleet managers.

 

I don't doubt it. I would expect increased lifespan. Our Prius has almost 100K on it and the brakes look new...maybe they aren't working? But I bet that guy in California needs a set.
