I purchased the 2005 Chevrolet Malibu classic from a nearby town dealership and was pleased until about 1 month later when I kept hearing a loud screeching sounds coming from the front end. Thinking it was the brakes going bad, I had a friend who worked on cars, check it out and he found the brake caliper had gone bad. The car had only 32,000 miles on it, and it was fairly new he couldn't understand why this new car would have a caliper going bad that fast. It was prior owned as a company program car. He replaced the brakes and caliper and now everything was fine.
