Five problems related to brake disc pads have been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Excessive wear of brake pads on driver's side. Dealer/manufacturer were notified, and informed consumer that vehicle was out of warranty, and nothing else would be done. Feel free to provide further details.
I had to replace my brake pads about 4 months after I bought my car, now it seems that I have to replace them again, I know I drive alot by 6months of buying a car you should not need brake pads that much. I think there is something wrong within the braking systems that is causing the pads to worn too fast, I think this needs to be checked out quickly.
Consumer stated when brakes were applied there was a delay in braking. Cause was unknown. Please provide any further information. When the road is wet, the braking distance is the length of two telephone poles. Vehicle was taken to the dealership five times but they weren't able to duplicate the problem. Consumer was told bring the vehicle back when its raining. Consumer did so and each time they stated they were busy. Mechanic wrote one repair order. Consumer installed new rotors and pads which helped a little bit. Consumer believed the problem is the anti lock.
`I have had the rotors replaced twice and turned twice with brake pads. Three of these were completed before the warranty expired.
Vehicle experienced premature wear of front brake pads. Dealer has replaced them.
