I am on my third pair of brake pads and rotors. The last time this was corrected was in Nov. 2002. The initial set that came on the car was supposedly "bad" and replaced Nov. 2000. I got the car in Aug. 2000. Problem was reported to dealer oct. 2002 as well. Never could identify problem. Grinding light and noises under hood that were finally identified as the brakes taken in again in Jan. 01. The "other" consists of a new alternator in Nov. 2002 as well as new tires in July 2002. I had to purchase two while gm gave me 2. Locks were messed up again April 02. Faulty window regulator in sept. 01. I have documentation of all of the invoices/printouts from the dealer as well as my maintenance papers.
