| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased my malibu in 2000 as a used vehicle. it had 24,000 miles on it. i have repeatedly had to replace the front brakes on this vehicle. i have had the rotors turn and replaced the rotors about 5 times. there is definitely a problem with the breaking system. i understand that brakes need to be replaced but i have replaced mine about 32 times in 6 years. i drive a lot of highway miles and therefore do not use my brakes as often as an in town driver. the brakes start to chatter when applied and when i go down the road at certain speeds they also do it. i have never had a chevrolet vehicle use brakes like this one. i have a 1995 chevy corsica with 230,000 miles on it and have only had to replace the brakes on it about 10 times. i also had a chevy cavalier and also drove it about 250,000 miles and did not have to replace the brakes on it that many times either. i have 230,000 miles on my malibu. i have talked to several owners of malibu's and all of them said that they had problems with the brakes needing to be replaced to often. *jb |
