| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2000 monte carlo ls coupe that i purchased on 10/2000. i started experiencing front brake vibrations at 11000 miles. the dealer said the front rotor went out-of round and they resurfaced them. this vibration returned at the 22000-mile mark. back to the dealer i went and this time they had to replace the front rotors. well the car just reached the 32000-mile mark and the vibration is back. again i see the dealer for this problem and this time theyre claiming that this is a wearable item and they can not cover it under the vehicle warranty, and that there would a charge. apparently something is causing this problem to recur every 11 12 thousand miles, and i know its not my driving habit, i have driven different cars/trucks for 28 years and never had rotors to warp. i called the gm customer service number and all they would say is that they agree with the dealer, though they filed it and gave me the file #1-120464560. ive heard and read of this same problem from other owners of monte carlo and impalas all around the 2000 2003 models. so it looks like gm doesn't want to look at this problem or do anything about it until something bad happens. *jb |
