Bought car April 2004, every few weeks to once a month car has been in the shop for noises. Since 4/05 dealer has replaced rotors 3 times, calipers and struts replaced, and still with a vibrating in steering wheel and windy noise. When you push on the brakes you have a grinding noise, like a metal sound, very loud can hear over the radio. Dealer says windy noise is normal for new parts. Still vibrating feeling in steering wheel while braking from over 50 mph. Dealer now says parts are not covered by gm.
