Has anyone had any problems with their rotors....i have had my car for a month and my steering wheel started to shake excessively when i was slowing down or braking...i took the car in yesterday and they told me that some 2006 cobalts might have problems with there factory rotors and they put news one at no charge.

 

I have an 05 ss and my steering shake also, my rotors have grooves in them from not wearing evenly.

 

i have 05 ss sc and i have same problem rotor r cheap metal so i suggest finding aftermarket

 

i have a redline and they replace or resurface my rotors every oil change

Im buying a set (4) form UNEEK next year!!!!!!!!!!!! hopefully they will last a lil longer than usual

 

hey emydol im xenozx bro i tried to race ya before

 

Hmmmm, I am going to have to look into that. my rotors shake like crazy

 

I also have the shake/shimmy problem.... I think my rear rotors are warped.... I'm calling the dealership tomorrow so I can get it looked at.... I'll keep y'all posted.

 

I they don't cover it under warranty, let me know, I'll give ya a good price on the rotors.

 

I just got mine a few weeks ago...so I'm good for what...another weeek or so?

:P

 

sounds like a problem from the cavalier...

 

the N-bodies had more problems than the J-bodies with vibrations

 

dude i'm at 10k miles and i've had my roters replaced 3 times.....they suck!

 

Yes. Total agreement here. I can hop in a completely neglected J-body and the brakes won't pulsate. Hop into any decently cared for N-body and you'll find rotor problems and hub bearing problems instantly.

 

Oh dude you need to hope into my Cavalier. The breaks pulsate really bad. I put new sh*t on and then like a week later its was back to the samw old pulsate again. My Cavalier is only a 03' and does this sh*t, its the one of that things that bothers me about my car.

 

Yeah, N-Bodies were bad.....but J-Bodies were worse! I worked in rental cars for 5 years, and every sunfire/cavalier we had (probably around 100 over those years) would start to pulse/vibrate at anywhere from 10 000-30 000KM.

 

yea i have 1400 miles on an 06 and it has done it since about 400 miles.

 

i have 4000 miles on mine and have only got them fixed once....hopefully it doesnt do it again

 

damn...you guys must be really braking hard or driving in a lot of rain....i have 14500 miles on my 05 and they had a few groves in them, but do not shake at all...must be how you drive em....

 

Same here i have 12000 kms on my 05 SS S/C and I drive my car pretty hard. Havent had a problem yet.

 

I think it's a general problem with all the 2.4SS Cobalts.... the dealer just got done resurfacing mine last week.... it was covered under warranty and everything is fine now.

 

on the j-bodies , you cant turn the rotors you gotta replace them , ive gotten over 50,000 on the stock rotors , the j's do suck , but the n's have more of a problem and gm even had a bullitin for it on the n's due to improper lug tightening

silver streak , ill be willing to bet your problem comes back

 

mine are fine and ive got like 6100 miles on mine. Ill have to pay some more attention to it and see what happens.

 

I haven't noticed any problems yet. Is it just me or do all GM rotors suck?

 

yes all gm rotors suck

 

Funny how this thread started... I literally just picked my car up from the dealership about an hour ago... My 06 SS Sedan was in there because the wheel would shake when I broke at highway speeds... They resurfaced the front rotors and replaced the rear rotors, they said there was some type of defect in them. Anyways the drive home was incredibly smooth, they said that a lot of 06's have been coming in for the same problem. They covered everything under warranty and it didnt cost me a dime!
