Brake Disc Rotor Problems of Chevrolet Corvette

The contact owns a 1998 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 mph attempting to engage the brakes, the brake pedal would pulsate. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The technician diagnosed that the front brakes and rotors needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

Purchased car new. At about 5000miles started to notice vibaration in steering wheel when brakes were applied . At about 10000miles vibration was severe under hard braking. Dealer[jon hall Chevrolet] determined all 4 rotors were warped and resurfaced at no charge. At about 15000 miles started to notice vibration again. Car now has 22000 miles is out of warrantee and vibration is again severe under hard braking. I would like a general motors representative to look into this problem. Dealer informed me this was a common problem with 1998 models. I beleive this is a serious safety defect which could result in an accident during high speed [60-70mph] braking and a recall should be issued to replace what is an obvious design defect.

Vehicle shakes when brakes are applied because rotors are warped. Yh.

Consumer very concerned that brakes could fail due to cracked rotors, consumer has been through 4 sets of rotors in less than 13000 miles. Nlm.

Brake rotors failed.

Rotors were resurfaced. Yh.

When applying the brakes vehicle jerks. Rotors were turned, and brakes pads replaced at 11,000 miles. At 17,000 miles, rotors were turned again because of warping. At 30,000 miles, front rotors were replaced at owner's expense. At 35,000 miles, rotors warped again. This has been an ongoing problem for two years.

Rotors warp every 10,000 miles. Well known problem among c5 owners, rumored to be cheap rotors.

Filed a complaint with GMC that rotors keep warping but they claim there's nothing wrong with the rotors.
