Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have taken my 2003 monte carlo in three different times for rotor vibration. i have been in talks with gmac and they are now telling me the dealership says it is due to driver habits. this is so unfair, seeing as they decided to replace a calipher on my last service call saying this is what caused the whole problem. now i have to hear the brakes "scrubbing" as i stop, it sounds like a 4-wheel drive truck! they say this is due to the brakes "wearing into" the new shape of the rotor. sigh, so much for being exicited over your $378.00 a month vehicle. all that has been done so far is the rotors have been turned three different times and right side calipher replaced. (they tried to charge me but then they "found"the calipher has stuck).*ak
