Lost both pads and rotors on the rear of vehicle, premature wear, not normal. Move forward to present May 9 2014. 37,000 miles and the front brakes, pads and rotors, need replacing and the rear pads already need new pads. The brakes have to be malfunctioning in some way. Called GM for the first incident and received some re-imbursement. I have not had repairs done on second incident but have made an appointment to secure repairs. It seems that what controls braking, example the proportionate valve, has failed in these instances. The results of the problem are the brakes need to be replaced every 18,000 miles and that is not normal. My brakes, especially the rear last between 50 and 60 thousand miles and all other cars owned and the front normally last at least 40 thousand mile. GM has made mistakes in building the brake system with inferior parts.

Two things #1-traveling on interstate 95. Right rear tire blow. The inside of the tire rip all around. I have a picture of the tire in two pieces.if you are interested in seeing the picture email me and I will send it to you. #2-also ever since I bought the vehicle in September 2010 the brakes squeaks. Its been looked at multiple time by two dealers. To this day the brakes still squeak. Very annoying. The warranty is out now but the problem still exist. Look at the history of the brake issue.

My wife had just dropped the kids off at school and was about 10 minutes away from home. After about five minutes of driving a series of chimes emitted from the car and the dash flashed a light indicating a problem with the ABS system, followed by another series of dings and a burning smell. She then pulled over, turned off the car, and waited approximately a minute. Upon turning on the car she heard another ding and the service lights remained on. She was able to slowly drive home but the car emitted a "grinding noise" and the heat gauge was slightly higher than normal. Upon getting home she checked under the car but did not see any fluids under the car. We have scheduled a mechanic to look at the car tomorrow.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that the brake light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer. The dealer stated that the brake fluid was low and the front passenger's side brake caliper was leaking. The dealer replaced the brake hose gasket, added brake fluid, and replaced the brake caliper on the passenger's side. The dealer also noticed that the vehicle had worn tie-rods and replaced them both. The contact stated that after the repair, the steering wheel started to squeak when being turned. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer and the dealer replaced the steering housing. The failure mileage was 10,823.

Shortly after purchasing brand new car we noticed small rust-colored specks all over the vehicle, mostly on the rear of the car. After several inspections, muzi Ford in needham, MA diagnosed this as "brake dust" from the type of brakes on this vehicle. They said there was nothing that could be done to prevent the specks, but that the only fix was expensive buffing/wet sanding treatments by their body shop that would have to be done 1-2 times per year, and they also said we should wash our car weekly. Our vehicle is still under warranty. Each buff costs approx $400. We believe this is a design flaw that the manufacturer should cover.

I was driving 65 mph when the accelerator pedal stuck and accelerated to 85 mph. The brakes were disabled for approx 5-7 seconds. After 5-7 seconds passed, the brake system began to work again and I was able to slow down and eventually stop the car.
