Both front rotors have been turned twice to releive wearout. Rotors will have to be replaced again, and will not be covered under warranty by manufacturer. Defective rotors do not allow consumer to stop vehicle appropriately which could cause an automobile accident.
1999 Chevrolet Camaro brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 32 of 32, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When traveling at about 50 and putting on brakes steering wheel shakes badly.
I have had to bring the car in for front rotor machining or replacement appoximately every 8 - 10,000 miles. The brakes pulsate and the wheel vibrates when the brakes are applied at highway speeds when the defect occurs. Turning the rotors or replacing them has fixed the probelm, but it seems to be quite frequent to have brake repairs of the same type to occur this frequently, my previous car a 1995 camaro only required the same service once in approximately 60,000 miles and only when the brake pads had worn out and metal to metal contact with the rotors occurred.
Been to dealership(s) several times they say can not duplicate. No safety defect listed.
A continued grinding noise from right rear wheel. Vehicle been in dealer shop on several occasions, and still unable to correct the problem. *ak the brake system failure is due to defect in vehicle. There is noise in brake, in rear differential area and there is a shimmey steering wheel when braking due to rotors failure. The vehicle makes grinding sound on hard right turns due to rear brake lining failure. There is a noise from rear right wheel due to right rear cliper improper clearance. There is a rattling noise from under the vehicle caused by catalytic converter.
Front brake rotors experienced warping under normal driving conditions, causing shuddering of vehicle during braking. Dealer resurfaced rotors. Rotors warped again within 2000 miles.
When applying brakes at speeds of 40mph and higher vehicle vibrates violently. Dealer has replaced rotors three times, and the problem has reoccurred.
There are instances of severe jerking to either left or right when applying the brakes. This is an intermittent problem that is unpredictable and unexpected. It is most noted at slower speeds, probably because it is less expected. Despite the single date and mileage listed in this report, it has happened throughout the life of the vehicle. The dealer has replaced brake pads once without curing the problem. This is an accident waiting to happen.
Need information regarding the 1999 camaro braking system(rotors, etc.)& structural rattling.
Brakes have been replaced 3 times within the 11 months of owning the car, brakes were squealing and shaking when stopping. Mechanic said brakes were warped. Each time rotors and brakes had to be replaced. *ak electrical system malfunctons causeing lights to dim. Defroster component failed. T-tops leaks continue after fixing it several times.
Premature wear of the brake rotors, causing warping and extended stopping distance vehicle is on its second set of rotors.
Braking system malfunctioned, causing vehicle to go to the left while braking which may cause a loss of vehicle control. Also, there is a noise in braking system everytime it rains. Dealer couldn't determine the problem. Please provide further information.
Front brake rotor continually warp. Replacements were done at every 8,000 miles of wear. Vehicle been to three different dealers, and still unable to resolve the problem. Feel free to provide any further details.
I bought my vehicle new 7 months ago. Now the brake system is getting worse. The front-end, steering wheel, shakes violently when I apply the brakes during normal driving. I took the car to the dealership to inquire about the problem 3 days ago, and the service man told me it was probably warped front rotors so I made an appointment for today. I went in and the service man (a different one) told me that they could fix it, but that it wasn't covered under warranty. This is what upsets me most. The vehicle is still under the warranty period. I have been driving the car under normal conditions, so why do I still have to pay for the rotors to be fixed? This is a known problem with the 1998 and newer camaro's and should be covered under the bumper-to-bumper warranty.
Dealer has refaced front brake rotors twice once under warranty and once for $100.00 I believe the rotors to be defective due to oem quality or heat treat specifications and engineering standards, there are aftermarket rotors available that do not warp with the severity and frequency of the oem parts.
Brakes were squeaking, dealership replaced the rotors, however 2 weeks later brakes are squeaking again.
Badly warped rotors making auto uncontrollable during braking due to heavy shudder.
The warped rotors that were replaced in my car were warped at about 9,000 miles. My biggest concern is that the dealer is telling me that this is not warranty work because this is "normal" wear and tear.
Vehicle exp[eriencing problem with front rotors wraping due to high heat while applying brakes. Dealer notified.
Ongoing problem with faulty rotors. On two occasions (14,000 miles & 28,000 miles), dealer turned all rotors because of pulsation received from brake pedal when applied brakes. Currently, at 32,000 miles, problem reoccurred, and dealer refused to replace rotors.
Brake rotors were cut, then replaced, problem reoccurs. When brakes are applied the steering wheel shakes /pulsates and makes car terribly hard to control.
Warped rotors.
