Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At about 45,000 miles the brake warning tab started making the scratching noise when i put on the brakes. two days later the car was in the shop for front brake service. i was expecting just pads were needed, but not the case. i was told and shown the rotors had worn down too far to cut. both front rotors were below safe depth. i could not believe this with only 45,000 on the car. the rotors were junked and my repair bill went to twice as much. is this american quality or what! other than this, i have and do like my impala. chevy could call and make this right would put thing 100% right with me. will they do that??? jb
