My 2009 cobalt ss has 10,800 miles and at 7k miles, the rear brakes began to squeak. You can feel that the rotors in the rear are grooved terribly, and the inside of the rear pads are even worse. The car is at the dealer now getting this fixed after I had already taken it to another dealership and they wrote it off as "wear and tear". Rear rotors do not get worn out in 10k miles.

My original complaint is 10263782. I now have to have the rear brake pads replaced again. Went from new to 3/32 in less than 4000 miles. In less than 12,000 miles the rear inner pads have been replaced twice and the rotors resurfaced once.
On my 09 chevy cobalt ss the rear brakes got very loud. The failure was the inner rear brake pads went metal to metal by 8000 miles from new. The outer pads were like new. Dealership resurfaced the rotors and replaced the pads. They had the car 5 days and gave me a rental. 2000 miles later and the brakes are getting loud again.
