| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At approximately 30000 miles my car would shake or bounce, sometimes violently, when the brakes were applied. the brake pads and rotors were checked and it was determined that the rotors were warped, though the pads were ok. the rotors were turned and everything seemed fine for a couple of months until the problem returned. again the rotors were turned, and this time the pads replaced. but a few months later the problem returned yet again. now the rotors have to be replaced, as well as the pads. a co-worker said he had the same problem on his 2002 cavalier. he was told at a chevy dealership that the rotors were too small on the car and warped easily due to this defect. this seems to me to be a major safety issue since rotors that are too small may cause a brake failure. *jb |
