Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The key gets stuck in the ignition and auxillary lights remain on. the locksmith attempts to fix it and i have to keep having him come out; looks like a replacement core is needed, thee is not a cheap way outof this. the bake pads wear down very quickly. it seems that a bolt on the caliper is not even with the opposite bolt, it's very slight but it's the same on both calipers and seems to cause pads to wear unevenly and often. it is probably cheaper for gm to have cosumers replace pads and rotors often than to retool the machinery to fix all those bolts. *ak
