1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Owner Comments

Brake pads need to be replaced every 3 to 6 months. Rotors were cut and then new rotors replaced. I live in a rural area not bumper-to-bumper, city traffic. I also do not ride my brakes. There seems to be a major defect in the Monte Carlo brake system. I just had to have a new alternator replaced on my 1999 Monte Carlo. I am very unsatisfied and will definitely not buy another GM product.

Both rear rotors scored at low mileage from original manufacturer's factory installation, and one rotor scored more than the other, and thickness of metal on rotors different.

When it rains or snows vehicle is hard to stop. Rotors will not stay dry. Also, consumer had to pump brakes to stop vehicle. Contacted dealer, and dealer stated it was a common characteristic in Monte carlos with same style rim.

Premature wear of rotors. Vehicle has had three sets of rotors in a year. Also, when brakes are applied in wet conditions pedal goes to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer has inspected vehicle several times, and has not been able to duplicate the problem.

Disc brake rotors replaced total of 6 since car was purchased new. Vehicle still responds poorly to brake input when in rain or wet roads. Dealer does not recognize this safety issue even after repeated discussions. With multiple rotor replacement and inability to diagnose and repair brake issues when driving in wet weather, this presents a serious safety problem to me and my family as well as other drivers on the highway. Have you had other complaints similar to this one ?
