NHTSA complaint #10711938, filed 2015-04, 10,000 miles“I purchased my 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt Ss sedan a little over a year ago. Within the first several months, the emergency brake started to get extremely loose. It than completely stopped holding within 6 months and 40,000 total miles. After this incident, the rear brakes and rotors began to prematurely wear out extremely quickly. Since these are not covered under any warranty and dealerships refuse to fix the issue for free, it's very costly out of pocket for the repairs. I can't park anywhere near on or a hill, due to the emergency brake being completely broken. …”

Took car to dealership under warranty and was told there was nothing to do a year later brakes still squeak nearly everytime I brake. New brake pads are needed!!!!!!”
