The breaks on this car are impossible! The rotors annoying as all get out. It's frustrating but at the same time..gotta keep the car going, especially in this economy!

Malibu LS V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 84,000 miles

When I start my car and push the brakes to change my shifter into Drive you hear a scrapy sound, You can feel it when it starts to do it, you can tell if it is going to do this because when you push the brake it won't let you move the shifter, the release button won't move, when you push the brake all the way down and hear the sound it will release and the shifter will move.
