2001 Chevrolet Camaro Brakes Problems

“My 2001 Camaro with less than 37k miles was taken to the dealership for new brakes. No reason I took car to dealership other than I wanted new brakes though nothing squeaked & I had no trouble. I did not expect to be told I needed new rotors as the dealership informed me the current rotors were too thin and I needed to replace them as well as the pads and brake linings. I was stunned as the car is hardly driven but a mere 8 miles round trip to work & back the last two years. …”

“Disk brake rotors. The disk brake rotors warp so often that they constantly need turned or replaced. I have had them turned at approx 11000 miles and they already need attention again. They make intermitant noise and you can feel the wobble when you go to stop. Looking on the internet this is a very common complaint with this vehicle and the brake rotors.”

“Have had 2 sets of rotors on this car since purchased. Now needs another set. Warranty will no longer cover this. Car is driven less than 20 miles per day, and currently has 28k on the 3rd set of rotors, dealer claims this is normal. This is not normal!! Car should not be having these problems. It is a performance car, and should it be driven like one, the rotors may heat, warp and cause a hazardious condition that may cause an accident or death!. Dealers have many complaints, & so does Chevrolet, why are they doing nothing about this?”

“I and many other other new Camaro owners have been having problems with brake pulsation, general motors has a TSB out on the pulsation problem but fails to do a recall. It's very dangerous I feel for myself and other Camaro owners.I don't want to have to keep bringing my car in for service if the brake components are unreliable for these f body cars.”

“I have problems with the brakes & rotors on my 2001 Camaro. They are warping. Why has there not been a recall? Hello ! Guess there will be after someone gets hurt or killed. People can not keep paying for brakes and rotors. Hope someone wakes up soon.”
