Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT SS SEDAN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. WITHIN THE FIRST SEVERAL MONTHS, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE STARTED TO GET EXTREMELY LOOSE. IT THAN COMPLETELY STOPPED HOLDING WITHIN 6 MONTHS AND 40,000 TOTAL MILES. AFTER THIS INCIDENT, THE REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS BEGAN TO PREMATURELY WEAR OUT EXTREMELY QUICKLY. SINCE THESE ARE NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY AND DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE FOR FREE, IT'S VERY COSTLY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS. I CAN'T PARK ANYWHERE NEAR ON OR A HILL, DUE TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BEING COMPLETELY BROKEN. AND THE REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS NEED EITHER REPAIRED OR RESURFACED CONSTANTLY EVERY SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES. MY OTHER MAJOR ISSUE IS WITH THE TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) THIS HAS BEEN GIVING ME AN ERROR CONSTANTLY FOR AROUND 10,000 MILES, ON HOW IT NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. MY CAR IS GARAGE KEPT WITH MAINTENANCE DONE ON TIME, AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. *TR
