Consumer Description

MY CAR HAS HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED TWICE ALREADY AND THE ROTORS AS WELL. THIS CAR WAS JUST IN FOR REPAIR WORK LAST WEEK AND THE DEALER SAID THAT THE BRAKES WERE 60% WORN AGAIN ALREADY. THEY WERE JUST REPLACED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. THE CAR PULSATES WHEN STOPPING. I BELIEVE THAT CHEVROLET HAD A PROBLEM WITH THESE BRAKES AND NEEDS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THESE BRAKES AGAIN VERY SHORTLY.
