NHTSA Complaint #10058400 — 2002 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO

2002 MONTE CARLO SS STARTED: AT ABOUT 13000 MILES STARTED VIBRATING WHEN BRAKING. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AT ABOUT 15000 MILES AND THEY SAID THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED. I PAID FOR THAT TO BE DONE. AT ABOUT 28,000 AGAIN STARTED VIBRATING WHILE BRAKING. TOOK IT TO A BRAKE SPECIALIST AND HE SAID THE ROTORS NEEDED REPLACING. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT PAY FOR THIS TO BE DONE (NOT IN WARRANTY COVERAGE) SO WE HAD THE OUTSIDE SPECIALIST PUT ON ROTORS WITH A 50,000 MILE WARRANTY. I SEE MANY OTHER FOLKS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHY DOES GM NOT COVER THIS? I THOUGHT WHEN I BOUGHT A NEW VEHICLE I WOULDN'T HAVE TO SINK MORE MONEY INTO REPAIRS UNTIL AFTER THE 36,000 WARRANTY WAS UP. HOPE GM STRAIGHTENS THIS OUT. I WAS LOOKING AT A USED 2001 GRAND AM FOR MY DAUGHTER BUT I SEE THERE ARE MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THAT VEHICLE. GUESS MY LIFE LONG RELATIONSHIP WITH GM VEHICLES IS BECOMING QUESTIONABLE? HOPE GM GETS THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT BEFORE THEY LOOSE OTHER DEVOTED GM FOLKS. *AK
