I BOUGHT MY 2000 MALIBU BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER 1999.... MY ENGINE WAS PINGING AND MAKING ALL KINDS OF NOISE, EVEN WHEN WARM.... BRAKES ARE VERY HAZARDOUS TO PUBLIC SAFETY... I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER NUMERIOUS TIMES FOR ROTOR AND PAD REPLACEMENTS AND EVEN GM'S SO CALLED NEW THICKER AND IMPROVED ROTORS THEY INSTALLED ON MY CAR WAS JUST AS BAD AS ALL THE OTHER ONES ... I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR WHEN I WAS TRAVELING 65 MILES PER HOUR ON OUR LOCAL HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS ALMOST HAD A WRECK DUE TO COMPLETE FAILURE OF MY BRAKES... MY CAR VIBRATED SO BADLY AND DID NOT SLOW DOWN...AT ALL!!....I THOUGHT I HAD 2 FRONT TIRE BLOWOUTS... I PULLED OVER ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND MY TIRES WERE FINE IT WAS MY BRAKES...... I WENT STRAIGHT TO A LOCAL AUTOZONE AND PURCHASED NEW ROTORS AND PADS....GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED!......I HAVE CALLED GM AND MADE A COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD NO RECALLS WERE MADE..... ANOTHER ISSUE IM HAVING IS IT TAKES 3 OR 4 TIMES TO GET MY CAR STARTED ... NOT SURE WHY MY CAR IS HAVING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS BUT IT IS AT A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP AS I TYPE THIS .......I HOPE THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIX THE NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND MY CD PLAYER THAT GOES IN AND OUT OF POWER AND SOMETIMES WONT RELEASE MY CD'S .... I HAVE GIVEN UP ON GM BRAKES. *AK

BRAKES AND ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES SINCE PURCHASE OF VEHICLE. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AKCONSUMER WAS ADVISED BY DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS NORMAL WEAR DUE TO EXCESSIVE BRAKING.*JB

AT ANY SPEED WOULD APPLY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP PEDAL AND VEHICLE WOULD PULSATE. STOPPING DISTANCE WOULD BE INCREASED. ALSO, FAILED TO STOP SOMETIMES. HAD ROTORS CHANGED DUE TO BEING WARPED. WILL BE TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR 3RD TIME FOR BRAKES.*AK
