3/01 started having a pulsating when brakes were applied. Went to the dealer were the car was purchased . They said the rotors were warped in front. They turned the rotors . The pulsating was gone. 1/02 started having the same problem again along with when I went to stop I started sliding . That happened several times the next two days before I could get it to a chevy dealer. When they checked it they said I needed my rotors turned down again. So they did that again. Did not have a problem untill now,5/02. I am having the same problem again after only 6000 miles since the last time. I spoke with the chevy dealer again and they said it would probably need new rotors and brakes. I am taking it in Monday to have this done! the last time I had to pay $60. 00 . They said the warranty does not cover this. I had 30,000 miles on the car then. I have never had this kind of problem with brakes since I started driving ,34 years ago!.
Premature wear of brake rotors. Dealer has turned rotors and they need to be replaced. Consumer states that the brake pads are too hard for such a small rotor and too much metal in front brake pad is causing rotors to warp.
Front rotors warp and cause a great amount of vibration and loss of control. This has happened 5 times in 21000 miles. Chevy can not fix.
Was pressing on brakes and could feel them pulsating. Mechanic at dealership indicated front brake rotors were warped. Was replaced under warranty. Problem reappeared again at 28,000 miles in June 2001.
The brake rotor were turned because of the waviness in the rotors, however the brake pads were still good, but there was a pulsation when the brakes were applied, the dealer informed consumer that this is a common problem.
Whenever applying brakes rotors would vibrate and make a lot of noise. Have taken to dealership 5 times. Mechanic indicated rotors were warped and needed to be repaired.
Front rotors failed. Nlm.
Front brake rotors are warping and had to be turned at 1600 and 1800. Had to be replaced at 2800 miles. Defective rotors were causing vehicle to jump when braking. Rotors were failing prematurely and before brakes pads.
