Brake Disc Pads Problems of Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Braking 2006 Monte Carlo ss brake pads replaced twice and disks turned once all 4 wheels by middis. Dealer states no problems discovered at times of checks. Brakes heat up excessivily car vibrates when brakes are applied. Very hard to control car at this point. This accures daily when driving over approx. 20 mile after rotors heat up. This is one problem with my car since I bought it new. Among others like remote starter, tire pressure monitors, onstars system, airbag failer lights, charging system, heated seats, steering hose which I payed for then was recalled afterwards. My next car will not be a chevy.

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. At 18,758 miles, the contact's vehicle was shaking severely and was taken to the dealer.

The contact stated when attempting to pass another vehicle the contact's vehicle lurched forward. She pressed the brake pedal to the floor but the vehicle would not stop. She then placed the vehicle in neutral, which slowed the speed. The vehicle eventually stopped. When she took the vehicle to an independent repair shop, the mechanic determined that the throttle was stuck. The mechanic cleaned the throttle system, and replaced the brake pads. The brakes appeared to be damaged as a result of her attempts to stop the vehicle. This was not covered by warranty. There have been no further problems.

New brake pads installed may 2002. Squealed from beginning. Then a metal to metal noise began intermittently when applying brakes. Took to car repair shop twice, one time being Feb. 2003(have receipt) and was told brake pads were still like new. Metal to metal noise continued and happened more and more but never constant. Finally, on incident date, car made terrible noise each time brakes were applied and would have been a safety hazard to drive. Car towed and found that the rotors were completely destroyed and brake pads completely gone in the period from Feb. 2003 to oct. 2003. Dealer assumed problem was associated with an owner maintenance problem instead of determining why brake rotors went.

Monte carlo ss 2002. Car under 12000 miles needed new brake pads, and rotors resurfaced. Previously had malibu 2000 that was bought back by dealer after 2 years of rotor and brake problems that caused 2 crashes. When is somebody going to look at the design of equipment in these vehicles to see there is a defect. Dealership even admitted to flaw.

Consumer complained about front brake pads. Consumer stated that the front brake pads had to be replaced every 3,000 miles, but problem recurred.

I drive a 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. I have had to have my rotors replaced twice and a complete brake job done all before my factory warranty is up. I have been told this is not a safety issue and that rotors are a wearable item. I am concerned that this will be a continual problem with repeat trips to the dealership to replace what appears to be a defective part and it's continual use as a replacement part. 90% of my driving is interstate driving and the fear of braking irregularities or effectiveness is frightening to me. Something needs to be done to prevent this problem--not just cover it up.

Since car was purchased I have complained of poor braking when wheels are wet due to rain,snow or car wash. . Complained to 2 different dealerships who acknowledged that gm is having brake problems on some models,and there is nothing they can replace to improve the design of the brakes and refused to even take wheels off to check pads and rotors unless I agreed to pay for inspection. . . After filing previous complaint with NHTSA website,I was contacted by gm for a tech serv bulletin/recall to cut away a piece of the fender liner, engineers said would fix trouble. . I brought car to mcguire chevy in marshfied, mass to have recall performed and have noticed no improvement. . This design flaw is an accident waiting to happen. . At highway speeds,it's always a mystery how hard I'll have to apply brake pedal pressure,and how long I'll have to wait before car actually slows down!. . . In this day and age to have a major car company at a loss as to how to make a car stop consistently with 4 wheel discs should be criminal,or at the very least negligent!!! gm should be forced to correct this problem immediately! this car will be out of bumper to bumper warranty in February of 2002. Please help.

During wet conditions only brakes will not engage for approximately 3 to 4 seconds after application, then will catch, resulting in an increased stopping distance, acted just like old drum brakes when they got wet. Dealership could not determine cause, but replaced rotors and pads. Please provide any additional information/attachments.

While driving at any speed and applying the brakes, they are degrading, and not stopping the vehicle properly. On inspection, brake rotors were separating and uneven but brake pads still had material on them. Metal on rotors was peeling off.
