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.

What owners say
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.
Brakes!!!!!!!!rotors warped again!!!!!!!!!!!!rotors warped again and again !!!!!!!! .
The consumer heard a loud noise from the rear end. The mechanic broke down the rear end and found that the axle bearings showed very unusual wear patterns that were not normal for a vehicle with little mileage. (replaced the axle bearings/seals, front/rear pinion bearings, and the differential carrier bearings) the consumer feels that the premature wear of the axle is an indication of this being a defective component.
7,545 miles-rotors warped, 15695-rotors out of parallel, 17196-rotors out of parallel, 18383-rotors out of parallel, 25422-pads replaced, 28092-rotors out of parallel, 34802-rotors out of parallel, 42500-same problem beginning.
Front brake rotors experienced warping under normal driving conditions, causing shuddering of vehicle during braking. Dealer resurfaced rotors. Rotors warped again within 2000 miles.
Premature wear of the brake rotors, causing warping and extended stopping distance vehicle is on its second set of rotors.
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.
