Have taken vehicle in for brake repairs on three different occassions - twice while in warranty and once after warranty - rotors were finally replaced on last visit after complaining persistantly and speaking with the GM at dealership. The problem is occuring again and is worse than ever. When brakes are applied the vehicle vibrates and brake pedal pulsates and try's to vear of course to the left or right. It is more pronounced at highway speeds. Heavy pressure must be applied to get the vehicle to stop and there is a narrow window of when it's just enough pressure to stop normally and when the brakes want to grab to quickly..
Consumer contacted dealer in reference to recall 00V136000/ manufacturer's recall 879. Consumer believed dealer did not replace rotors. The caliper was loose and appeared to be just sitting on the tire when the consumer was examining the vehicle for rubbing noise. The rim was also stuck to the rotor and removing the tire was extremely hard. From these observations, the consumer concluded that the dealer had not done the recall job on brake rotors.
