I have a 2005 chevy Cavalier. It had 49,000 miles. I noticed a squealing sound from by brakes. I immediately took it in thinking it was the brake pads. Well, my whole brake system was leaking. My brakes system was also wearing unevenly causing half of the parts to be destroyed. One side of the brake pad was normal and the other side was thin as a wire. The guy told me that the car was completely unsafe and probably a result of a defect in my brake system. I knew of a friend of mine that had a similar problem at 20,000 miles. I contacted chevy and they told me that they could have done something but I traded it in. (I traded it in for a Toyota because at this point regardless if the brake system got fixed, I was scared for my life to drive a car that almost the whole brake system went out after 2 years. ) the car received all proper maintenance and I still have the receipt from the brake place.
