Consumer Description

THE BRAKE ROTORS ON MY 2001 MONTE CARLO HAVE HAD TO BE RESURFACED TWICE AND NOW NEED TO BE RESURFACED A THIRD TIME FOR BECOMING WARPED. THE FIRST TIME I HAD THE BRAKES RESURFACED WAS AT 19,874 MILES. THE SECOND TIME WAS AT 40,644. I HAVE 55,562 MILES ON MY VEHICLE NOW AND THEY NEED TO BE RESURFACED AGAIN, BUT THE VIBRATIONS HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT BAD YET. ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIBRATIONS FROM MY ROTORS BECOMING WARPED, I EXPERIENCE A "KNOCKING" FEELING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK MY CAR INTO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AT ABOUT 39,700 MILES AND DESCRIBED MY PROBLEM TO THEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED RESURFACING AND THAT THE STEERING SHAFT HAD GONE BAD AND NEEDED REPLACING. I HAD THEM REPLACE THE STEERING SHAFT ($480 JOB) BUT NOT THE BRAKES. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS (LESS EXPENSIVE THAN DEALER COST). I AM HAVING THE SAME SYMPTOMS OF THE STEERING SHAFT GOING BAD AGAIN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CHEVROLET WON'T DO SOMETHING FOR ITS MONTE CARLO CUSTOMERS. *JB
