“I brought my car (2010 Chevrolet Cobalt Ss) to the local dealership near me in massachusetts, and I was told that my rear brakes were worn to the point just before a sensor going off. The car only has 30,000 miles on it and rear brakes are supposed to be the ones that last longer than front ones but my front are fine. The dealership refused to fix the brakes under the 3 year 36,000 [I]unlimited[/I] warranty or the 2 year 20,000 mile maintenance warranty. …”
