This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
State safety inspection mechanic noted that both front brake rotors were deeply rusted and/or pitted and should be inspected by a GM service center. The service representative at dagley Chevrolet Geo informed that both front brake rotors were rusted and pitted so deep that they could not be re-surfaced, they need to be replaced and the replacement would not be covered by GM. I looked at the rotors myself and found that the inside brake rotor friction surfaces are rusted or pitted away, aprox. 1/3 or less of the front inside brake pads are actualy making contact with the rotor surface. In my opinion, this results in a very significant loss of braking efficiency.

Sloan Chevrolet has had vehicle four times attempting to resolve low pedal. Brake rotors were cut which did raise the pedal slightly; brake system was bled.
