Filed Nov 26, 2004 · Brakes · 60,000 miles · CO

Very bad shimmy and shake when braking, also when trying to spped up from a dead stop or otherwise car pulls back, or stumbles. At about 45000 miles a valve broke into three pieces. Had heads replaced. Brakes and stumbling is reoccuring brakes since I bought the car new in 99 and stumble since early 2004. Speakers located in the back seat panels also keep blowing out.

The vehicle jerked backwards when accelerating from a complete stop. Also, the vehicle jerked when automatically shifting gears. The engine check light illuminated. The dealer did a diagnostic test, and could not determine the cause of the problem. *ak a transmission kit was added but the problem still occurred. The transmission was rebuilt. The consumer was informed to drive in overdrive when traveling long distance but this did not work. The brakes were noisy, the rear coil spring were rubbing when stopping, the water pump and intake gaskets leaked, the alternator was replaced due to the engine not starting on one occasion, and there was a 3-4 second valve binding.

Car will not brake or stop smoothly. Condition is warped rotors. Selected a well known popular parts shop for replacement rotor. Replacement rotor is diamond cut w/o holes. Bigger cooling vains with a set of porcelin pads. Unknown at this time if this corrects the warping problem.

Rotors first became warped at around 20,000. Rotors continue to become warped every 5-10,000. Gm/chevrolet refuse to admit or fix this defect despite numerous complaints from many drivers.

Car only has 40000 miles on it and whenever I would brake or come up to a stop light, the wheels would shimmy and the steering wheel would vibrate. I was afraid it would not stop and would cause an accident. I took it to the chevrolet dealer in waldorf md. The mechanic said he could find nothing wrong with it and could not make it do it. That was 2 months ago and it still does it all the time. Sounds like all these other similar complaints for this vehicle.. Defective warped rotors. This is very dangerous and I cannot get a dealership to fix it.
