UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ON MARCH 8TH AND IT WENT IN THE FIRST TIME ON MARCH 24TH FOR A WATER LEAK COMING FROM THE SUNROOF HOUSING. THE SUPPOSEDLY RESEALED THE SUNROOF HOUSING AND IT WENT BACK IN FOR THE SECOND TIME ON JUNE 23RD. SAME WATER LEAK IN THE EXACT PLACE AGAIN. NOW THEY'RE SAYING THAT THE SUNROOF GLASS IS WARPED AND THAT'S WHY THE SEAL ISN'T HOLDING. 2 TIMES IN SLIGHTLY LESS THAN 3 MONTHS WITHIN 6000 MILES.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
FRONT ROTORS ON THE CAR ARE DEFECTIVE. MY CAR WAS BROUGHT IN AT 6000 MILES WITH A COMPLAINT OF WARPED ROTORS CAUSING A VIBRATION UPON BRAKEING. AT THAT TIME I WAS TOLD THE ROTORS "WERE WITHIN SPECS". I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AT 14000 MILES WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT AND THE ROTORS WERE "RESURFACED AND THE PADS WERE BUFFED". I DID NOT RECEIVE THE CAR WITH RESURFACED ROTORS AND BUFFED PADS. THIS HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2003. I FEEL SINCE THE CAR CAME WITH A DEFECTIVE PART, THE ROTORS AND THE BRAKE PADS SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH NEW ONES. THIS COULD BE A LIFE THREATING PROBLEM IF THE BRAKES FAIL DUE TO DEFECTIVE ROTORS.*AK

#10037291September 5, 2003
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AFTER LESS THAN 11,000 MILES OF TRAVEL; 2003 PONTIAC-SUNFIRE PURCHASED ON APRIL 29, 2003. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A BAD BATCH OF BRAKE PARTS OR THE COMPONENT IS EITHER UNDER DESIGNED OR IMPROPERLY SPECIFIED TO WITHSTAND DAY-TO-DAY CITY DRIVING CONDITIONS. A 2001 CHEVROLET-CAVALIER THAT I PREVIOUSLY OWNED EXHIBITED THE SAME INSUFFICIENCY IN IT'S BRAKE ROTORS THAT REQUIRED SERVICING THREE TIMES IN 60,000 MILES OF DRIVING. BOTH OF THESE CARS ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TRIMS AND GM DIVISION NAME. THE COST TO RESURFACE SALVAGABLE ROTORS IS APPROXIMATELY $140 AT THE DEALER. IF THEY CAN'T BE RESURFACED THEN THEY HAVE TO BE REPLACED ENTIRELY. LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE.*AK
