| 1998 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS | ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE, CONSUMER IS UNABLE TO KEEP BRAKES OR ROTORS ON VEHICLE. DEALER HAS YET TO BE CONTACTED. *AK *JB |
| 2003 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | 2003 CHEVY MALIBU. 18,000 MILES, HAD TO REPLACE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND HAVE ROTORS TURNED. I WAS CHARGED $200 FOR 2 HRS LABOR THROUGH A CHEVY DEALER, BUT I FEEL THE BRAKE PADS SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER. WHEN I QUESTIONED THE DEALER, THEY SAID THAT MOST OF THE MALIBU'S AND SEVERAL OTHER CARS HAD SOFT BRAKE PADS AND HAD TO BE REPLACED EARLY. THEY WERE REPLACED WITH A THICKER BRAKE PAD. HOW COME THEY DIDN'T USE THESE TO START WITH? *JB |
