I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY BRAKE SYSTEM AND HAVE HAD MY FRONT ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED 4 TIMES - I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR. THEY TELL ME THIS A PROBLEM WITH MALIBU'S AND PLACE NEW PARTS ON MY CAR BUT AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE PROBLEM RE-OCCURS. I GET A PULSATION/VIBRATION WHEN I BRAKE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND FROM TIME TO TIME MY BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. EACH TIME THEY SAY MY ROTORS ARE WARPED AND REPLACE THEM.*AK
