Complete brake failure - was advised by repair shop not to drive at all until repair made replace all brake rotors,calipers and pads. Total cost $1034. Later was told there is a classaction suit and that gm is willing to pay at least 75% of the cost however I cannot find out how to go about filing a claim. The pontiac dealer I inquired about this says gm is contacting owners but there is a deadline of october 31 and I have not been contacted.

I bought the auto new and while it was under warranty the brakes had to be repaired. The rotors were replaced or fixed. At 54248 miles I replaced bothe the front and rear rotors and the front pads. Now at 71000 miles I have to replace the front and rear rotors again in a span of 17000 miles. The gargage and the company hotline claim the problem is an ongoing problem with both the grand prix and the chevy luminia. It is not considered a factory defect yet these items are replaced on these vehicles much more often than the other vehicles of the same size and style. 16-17000 miles appears to be problematic for a complete brake replacement.
