NOTICED PULSATION AND SQUEAKING BRAKES. BROUGHT VEHICLE IN AND DEALER SAID THAT ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED. NOT UNDER WARANTEE SINCE 20,000 MILES, BUT ALSO REPLACED ALL PADS DUE TO SERVICE BULLETIN ON PADS. ROTORS APPEAR DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND BAND AID REPAIR OF SOFTER PADS TO MASK PROBLEM. COULD END UP BEING MAJOR PROBLEM IF NOT CORRECTED PROPERLY. HOW CAN WE ALL GET CHEVY TO OWN UP AND REPLACE A FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM DESIGN? BY THE LISTING IN YOUR COMPLAINT DATABASE, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A VERY WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. *AK

I FIRST NOTICED THAT I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES WHEN I WOULD APPLY THE BRAKES TO EITHER SLOW DOWN OR TO STOP. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD HAVE A SLIGHT SHIMMY TO IT.

I FIRST NOTICED THAT I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES WHEN I WOULD APPLY THE BRAKES TO EITHER SLOW DOWN OR TO STOP. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD HAVE A SLIGHT SHIMMY TO IT. I TOOK IT AND HAD A MECHANIC THAT I KNOW AND TRUST TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND HE HAD TO "MACHINE" THE RIGHT FRONT ROTOR. I DIDN'T WRITE DOWN THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THAT IMPROTANT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 3/3/99 AND ASKED THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE BRAKES BECAUSE I COULD HEAR A SCRAPING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE WHEN I WOULD APPLY THE BRAKES. THE SHOP LOOKED AT THE BRAKES AND SAID THAT THEY WERE FINE. I TOOK THE SHOP FOREMAN FOR A RIDE WITH ME SO THAT HE WAS CLEAR ON WHAT I WAS HEARING AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO SOUND LIKE THAT. I HAVE NOT BEEN BACK TO THAT DEALERSHIP SINCE. I HAVE A TERRIBLE SHIMMY IN THE STEERING WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE NOISE IS TERRIBLE. I HAVE HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED AND IT HAS ALREADY WORE OUT THIS ROTOR. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN TO TO GET SOME KIND OF HELP ON THIS. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL ROTORS THAT CAME OFF OF THE CAR. I ALSO HAVE ALL OF MY REPAIR RECEIPTS. *AK

HAVE HAD CHRONIC PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. MOST RECENT BEING THE FAILURE OF THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE ABS COMPUTER MODULE AND OR SENSORS HAVE FAILED. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH CAMAROS. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS NEEDS TO BE A COVERED REPAIR. THE CAR IS PRACTICALLY NEW AND THEY WANT $800.…
