Brake Disc Rotor problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier

Brake rotors will rust and pit within 48 hours of rain or in very humid weather if car is not used to rub off rust. Pitted rotor causes heavy vibration whenever I apply the brake. To correct problem I must have rotors resurfaced or replaced often.

Consumer stated the brake rotors experienced premature wear. When the brakes were applied, the vehicle experienced a vibration and extended stopping distance. Dealer notified. The cause due to rotor disc and cooling fin side dimensions, which were not designed for the vehicle.

Brake rotors are warping and causing excessive wear. Had rotors replaced, but problem reoccurred.

Vehicle was taken in for service at dealer for brake dust, dealer noticed that both front and rear rotors were broken due to "falty rotors". Dealer was replacing rotors at consumers expense. Consumer stated when he purchased vehicle he was told that the rotors were covered under warranty.

Hydrualic brakes squealed and won't stop on dry pavement. Rotors were grounded and replaced. There was extended stopping distance. Brake light didn't illuminate to show a problem. Also vehicle was shimmying after braking. Dealer notified. *akthe shimmy efect was resolved when the dealership ground out the hard spot on the rotor. The other problems are still persistant.

Consumer called complaining about having problems with the rotors on the vehicle. Also stated that the vehicle was taken to a dealer and rotors were replace. Also states that manufacture was contacted because the rotors have been replace twice on less than 18 months, the vehicles rotors are not original parts.

When pressing on brake pedal it would pulsate and doesn't feel right. Took to dealership, and mechanic indicated front rotors were warped. Had them replaced under warranty. Problem happened in March 2001.
