BRAKE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED AND PADS DEGLAZED AT MY EXPENSE. COMPLAINED TO SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT BEING CHARGED FOR REPAIR ON A CAR WITH 3/36 BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. WAS TOLD BRAKE WARRANTY WAS ONLY 12/12000. CALLED CHEVROLET AND LODGED A COMPLAINT, FOLLOWED BY A LETTER ON 06/16/2000. CHEVROLET REP GAVE ME A COMPLAINT FILE #, C00624109. NOW AT 26000 MILES, BRAKE PULSATION HAS RETURNED. I HAVE NO REASON TO THINK THIS WILL NOT BE CONSTANTLY REOCURRING. AT HIGHWAY SPEED THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHUDDER VIOLENTLY. I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT SOME REENGINEERING IS POSSIBLE AND SHOULD BE REQUIRED. *AK |
