Brakes wear uneven, always a strange sound. I have replaced them three times, even when I was told the pad was not worn.
Brake warning system light would go off whenever brakes are applied on wet road. Vehicle at dealer shop for inspection. Please provide any further details on this matter.
Vehicle was driven on a hill & brakes were applied to stop. Took foot off brakes & vehicle started to roll backwards until brakes were applied again. Took vehicle to dealership & informed consumer that this was the characteristic of vehicle.
Since vehicle was bought there was problems with abs brakes. Could step on brake pedal to stop or reduce speed, but vehicle would not stop until a few feet after. Problem had not been corrected at dealer.
After driving the car for approximately two weeks, a distinctive vibration began which seemed to be located in the front end of the vehicle. I took the car to the dealer who determined that the front end brake rotors were vibrating on the wheel studs. Further inspection revealed that the holes in the rotors had been machined too large for the wheel studs. The dealer reported that there was "no fix available". The problem continued and became worse. A second call to the dealer resulted in the dealer informing me that the problem appeared to be specific to Impalas, and that other customers had reported the same problem. Still "no fix available". I contacted Chevrolet customer service, who also confirmed problem, but refused to offer a fix. The rotors are now significantly unstable and it is affecting braking action of the car in an unsafe manner. In total, I have yalked to chevy customer service three times, and have either taken the vehicle to the dealer or contacted the dealer once a month for the entire seven months I've owned the car. In short, it appears that the 2000 Impala LS has a serious defect in the front brake rotors which Chevrolet simply refuses to fix.
Vehicle pulls to the left when brakes are applied. Front brakes and rotors were replaced in September 1999, continued to have problem, a front end alignment was preformed to see if that would correct the pull but it didn't. Took car back to the dealership.
