Consumer Description

AFTER REPLACING THE ORIGINAL FRONT ROTORS AND PADS THE BRAKES BEGAN TO SHUTTER SHORTLY AFTER THE BRAKE JOB. THE ONLY SOLUTION OFFERED BY THE MECHANIC AT CHEVY GARAGE WAS TO TURN ROTORS. THIS WORKS FOR SHORT PERIOD AND STARTS UP AGAIN. THE MECHANIC STATED THE ROTORS ARE TOO SMALL FOR THE VEHICLE AND THE HEAT CAUSES WARPING. THE ORIGINAL BRAKES DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM UNTIL COMPLETELY WORN OUT. I HAVE PUT 2 SETS OF DISC AND NEW PADS ON AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *AK
