The brakes on my 2005 Pontiac G6 pulse when applied, especially going down hill. The car was taken in for service July 2006 with only 7,900 miles on it. Both the rear and front rotors were machined and pulsing stopped. The pulsing began again around may of 2007. The car was then inspected in August 2007 and the rear brakes failed to pass inspection at 11,400 miles. The rear brake pads and rotors both needed replaced. Shortly after those were replaced the brakes began pulsing again and the front rotors had to be machined again in December 2007 with only 12,000 miles on the car. There seems to be a problem with the rotors rusting and I have had to put $600 into brakes for this car with less than 13,000 miles on it.

Car has had numerous problems from not starting to having the brakes replaced every 3,000 miles. Dealer has been good about taking care of repairs and maintenance but I feel that this car has been nothing but a problem from the day I picked it up. I am at 27,000 miles and on at least my 9th set of brakes/rotors. It also has what I now refer to as the GM sputter start. If it does start it sometimes doesn't start on the first try and sometimes catches and sputters before it starts. Hate this car.

: the contact stated while depressing the brake pedal the vehicle vibrates violently. The rotors and pads have been replaced six times in one year. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who determined the rotors are warping. The brakes and rotors were first replaced under warranty 5-25-05. The brakes and rotors were recently changed three weeks ago. The vehicle is currently at the dealership awaiting the repairs again.
