problem #2

Feb 082004

Malibu 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 85,000 miles
I have replaced my entire braking system at least 4 times. I was told by Chevrolet that due to a problem with the ball joints, the brake rotors would wear unusually fast. I am currently waiting to see if with over $4,000 spent in parts, service, and labor, the problem is solved.
