| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2003 impala. brakes started to pulsate severely at slightly over 36000 miles. since brake problems are usually not covered by warranty (and it had expired anyhow), i took it to a locally reliable auto repair garage. he suspected a warped front rotor (as i did also). removed and replaced both front rotors and pads. the pulsation was still there. removed both rear rotors. both were badly scored on the inside - not visible during routine inspection. in addition, both rotors were partially crystalized, again on the inside. the pads here were also scored badly. after reading reports on 2003 impalas on mycarstats.com, i decided to add my complaint to the list there, all similar in nature. old parts are not available. |
