Ok so my girl in now driving my cobalt all the time, but she came to me telling me she was getting a brake fluid idiot llight every time she braked.
So I took the car to work today, brought it ino my shop and threw it on the lift. Brake fluid was low but nothing was leaking so i pulled off the tires.
My rotors look like they were a dam record. All groved up and worn. The car is 2 years old there shouldent be that much ware.
I was talking to another buddy of mine who also has an SS, and he told me that on a bunch of cobalts the brake pads were actually touching the rotor slightly right out of the factory. Since i didnt notice it for 2 years it screw my rotors. So I looked it up an it was a recall a year or so ago. So I took it back to the dealer and they told me it was a ware an tear item and they were not going to cover it.

So looks like i gata drop 800 on new rotors and new brakes because of GM's F up. Im so happy right now.
Ideas on what i should get?

 

I think rotors and pads ware life all depends on how hard you drive the car...Mine only lasted about a year and I wasnt to surprised since I had been pushing them to the limits many times.

Also, you dont need to drop $800 for new rotors and pads...I ended up spending less than $500 for Stop Tech rotors and Hawk HPS pads.

 

Welcome to the world of GM OEM Parts. If it's a part that is parshiable or that needs regular maintance, they tend to fail way before the "usual"

 

my fronts got warped within 10k miles replaced all four with cobalt addiction rotors and hawk pads very happy with them

 

duralast gold from auto zone has served me quite well over the past 8 months plus they were cheap as hell about 250 for the whole set pads and rotors front and rear

 

ya dude

GM rotors Suck... i got 2 front records spinning haha
