WARPED ROTORS - TWICE. DEALERS/GM WON'T REPLACE DEFECTIVE MATERIALS BECAUSE "THEY DON'T HAVE TO". IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD THAT GM DOESN'T CARE AT ALL ABOUT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE METAL FOR THE ROTORS ON THESE CARS WASN'T PROPERLY HARDENED. THESE CARS WERE ASSEMBLED JUST PRIOR TO THE BIG GM STRIKE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. W…

WARPED ROTORS - TWICE. DEALERS/GM WON'T REPLACE DEFECTIVE MATERIALS BECAUSE "THEY DON'T HAVE TO". IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD THAT GM DOESN'T CARE AT ALL ABOUT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE METAL FOR THE ROTORS ON THESE CARS WASN'T PROPERLY HARDENED. THESE CARS WERE ASSEMBLED JUST PRIOR TO THE BIG GM STRIKE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. WITH ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS WITH THE NHTSA, ONE WOULD THINK THERE'D BE A RECALL OR TSB RELEASED ON THESE BY NOW. IS NHTSA DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? BTW - I ALSO PLAN TO CONTACT MY STATE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL ABOUT THIS.

I HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE TIRES PLUGGED TWICE ALREADY SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN SQUEAKING FOR ALMOST THREE MONTHS AND WHEN REPORTED TO DEALER THEY DID NOTHING TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE ALSO CAUSED SKIDDING WHEN ROADS ARE WET AND DO NOT FEEL AS IF THEY ARE PROPERLY LOCKING.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/55R16 )
