problem #4

Oct 102001

Cavalier

  • miles
Had to have rotors turned at 14,000 miles; then found they were rusted and needed to be replaced at 33,200 miles. Found there was no backing plate to keep rotors from rusting; dealer admits nothing about design flaw and says the repair is not under warranty. Had rotors and brake pads replaced at a surprisingly honest midas, where they said it's likely I will need to do this all again in two years because of the poor design of the disc brake system.
