1 Brake Disc problem of the 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier

Failure Date: 08/25/2005

In wet conditions my 2004 Cavalier does not stop well. When I went through the car wash it almost didn't stop when I approached the road, narrowly avoiding an accident. When I took it to the dealer, they told me that they didn't have any problems when they washed the car and then drove it. So they sent me away and didn't fix anything. I'm scared that my teenagers may not be safe in this car in wet conditions. I have no problems with my envoy or my vibe at the same car wash. I've worked at gm for 30 years and take good care of my cars.

6 Brake Disc problem of the 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier

Failure Date: 03/01/1997

This is an ongoing problem with the front rotors becoming warped after about 15,000 to 20,000 miles of use. I went to the dealer twice under warrenty and both times they turned the roters. I have since replaced the roters and brake pads three times. I think this is highly unusual. I fear someday the braking system will completly fail.
