Three problems related to brake disc have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Brake pads and rotors are prematurely wearing, cause unknown. The consumer stated that replaced original pads three time and rotors once.
One or more front rotors warped--dealer contacted, but claims warped rotor (even at 30k miles) is considered "normal wear and tear" under gm warranty, and thus not covered.
At any speeds in wet or rain condition brake stopping distance is almost doubled from dry road use, vehicle is equipped with factory spoke alloy wheels . On inspection of rotor/caliper area it is evedent that no kind of shield around rotor allows water to get on rotors , possible this particular vehicle is missing shields or this is a design flaw.
