Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY CHEVROLET MALIBU USED AND HAVE HAD IT ABOUT 2 MONTHS. DAYS AFTER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY RUNS OUT I HAVE MAJOR BRAKE PROBLEMS. REPLACED FRONT BRAKES, PADS, RIGHT ROTOR AND RIGHT CALIPER. EVERY MECHANIC I'VE SEEN IS AMAZED THAT A CAR A YEAR OLD NEEDS A NEW CALIPER. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALSO HAD PROBLEM WITH FRONT END RATTLING NOISE LIKE THE FRONT END IS LOOSE OR SOMETHING; DEALER DID PUT NEW CONTROL ARMS ON, BUT NOISE STILL PERSISTS. *AK
