Impala 3.4lV6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,219 miles

in march of 2007 i took my car to the shop to be checked out. mechanic said rotors where rusted and could not be turned (resurfaced) he said that they get a lot of these cars in the shop because of this problem.. quote, unquote he said cheap steel, he said using good steel overseas for military vehicle's. so for having new rotors put on i needed new brake pads. pad's shot also!! pieces missing. about six months later took car back to shop to get checked out again!! said front rotors were starting to warp. watching closely!! warranty had just expired prior to this problem..

Impala LS 3.8L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,000 miles

I had several complaints to the dealer that the car did not stop properly. They first said that brakes were not covered under warranty until I complained enough saying the car was only 9 months old no way brakes should go out that fast. I made them replace the warped rotors (they only wanted to resurface them) and I made them replace the junk brake pads they use with ceramic. I will now only use and buy a car with ceramic brake pads.

Impala SS

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles

My 2004 Impala SS had a pulsating problem at 25,000 miles so I took it in to the dealer. They said my rear rotors were warped/rusted and they replaced them at a cost of $259. Now in July, 6 months later, 5,000 miles later I am told all 4 rotors need to be replaced especially the rear rotors because of rust and the cost will be $600. I am told it is my fault, not driving my car enough miles, etc. The dealer said since it is my "driving style" the rear rotors will not be covered under warranty and the same problem will occur again in the future. Isn't that something to look forward to????? I will NEVER, EVER buy a Chevy again.
