Consumer Description

BRAKE ROTORS HAVE WARPED AND BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. ONCE AT 20977, AT 29687 AND THEN AT 44726. BRAKE PEDAL MAKES A CREAKING SOUND WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON PEDAL. MECHANIC TOLD ME HAD NEVER HEARD SUCH A SOUND AND COULD NOT FIX IT. ALSO ADVISED ME TO GET RID OF CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS IT DRIVES AS IT HAS MORE MILES ON IT THEN IT ACTUALLY HAS.STILL MAKING SOUND AND WORRIED THAT THEY ARE GOING TO COMPLETELY BREAK. POWER STEERING AND ALTENATOR WENT AT 44726 MILES AND HAD TO PAY FOR THOSE ALONG WITH THE LAST ROTOR REPLACEMENT AS CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. WHEELS ALSO MAKE RUBBING SOUND WHEN TURNING EITHER WAY. CALLED GM WHEN FIRST STARTED AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN DONE. MECHANICS ALSO CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT PROBLEM. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE IN THIS CAR. *AK
