Brakes: 1st time they replaced rotor/pad kit at 9066 miles, bad vibration when applying brakes. At present, car has 21000 and they say rotors need resurfaced and want to charge me. I don't think rotors should wear out every 10 to 11,000 miles, mostly highway miles. *ak

I have brought my car back to the dealership twice, and twice i have left disappointed. Both times, i was reassured that nothing was wrong with my car, though my front brakes vibrate constantly. I was told earlier this year that the 2000 model of my car had brake defects, but have not been able to find any information to back this story. I am truly concerned for my welfare, especially since i commute to work daily…

The front brake rotors (rotors warped) and pads have been replaced 5 times now but dealer cannot find the problem. The area service manager for chervolet seems to think that "the brakes are not a safety issue". I think differently. The front of the car starts shaking and the steering wheel starts shaking (worse then it normally does), i have also heard clicking noises when i apply the brakes.
