When it rains or snows vehicle is hard to stop. Rotors will not stay dry. Also, consumer had to pump brakes to stop vehicle. Contacted dealer, and dealer stated it was a common characteristic in Monte Carlos with same style rim.

3 Brake Disc Rotor problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2000

Disc brake rotors replaced total of 6 since car was purchased new. Vehicle still responds poorly to brake input when in rain or wet roads. Dealer does not recognize this safety issue even after repeated discussions. With multiple rotor replacement and inability to diagnose and repair brake issues when driving in wet weather, this presents a serious safety problem to me and my family as well as other drivers on the highway.
