Noticed pulsation and squeaking brakes. Brought vehicle in and dealer said that rotors needed to be turned. Not under warantee since 20,000 miles, but also replaced all pads due to service bulletin on pads. Rotors appear defective design and band aid repair of softer pads to mask problem. Could end up being major problem if not corrected properly. How can we all get chevy to own up and replace a faulty brake system design? By the listing in your complaint database, it is obvious that this is a very wide spread problem.

What owners say
When the brakes are applied there is a severe squeak, and the pedal will depress all the way to the floor. The system takes extra seconds to kick in and stop as it should. Dealer has been contacted, they replaced the rotors five times and the pads seven times.
Interior compartment squeaks. Yh
The right rear tire blew out, it is in two completely different peices, on a major highway. I could have easily lost control of the vehicle and been in a major accident. I have also had to have the tires plugged twice already since I purchased the vehicle. The brakes have been squeaking for almost three months and when reported to dealer they did nothing to fix it. They have also caused skidding when roads are wet and do not feel as if they are properly locking.( dot number: tire size: p235/55r16 )
When driving at any speed there is a grinding noise within the steering. When applying the brakes, brakes lock up, and rotors have been changed twice. Also,there is a leakage within the t-top. Vehicle has been in shop for repair service several times, and the problems still exit.
Brakes squeal when applied. Yh
When the brakes were applied they pulled and squeaked the dealer had to replace them twice.
