Had new front brake pads and rotors put on car with under 16,000 miles on it. Sometimes brakes vibrate and make noise. Called dealer and was told brakes were not covered under warranty because it's normal wear and tear unless there was a mechanical problem.

2002 Pontiac grandam GT-1 has continuous grinding, rubbing, and popping sounds from the front steering. Also has uncontroled power steering where the car could go off the road. Dealerships can or will not try to find these serious defects, they say that it is the tires that is causing these defects.this is the second new GT-1 within the past three years with the same defects that I have owned.
