1998 Chevrolet Camaro SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

BRAKE ROTORS WARPED, CAUSING BAD PULSATON WHEN BRAKING AND REDUCED BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. FROM THE DISCUSSION VIA THE INTERNET WITH OTHER CAMARO OWNERS, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM PROBABLY CAUSED BY INFERIOR MATERIALS IN THE ROTORS THEMSELVES. *AK

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED, AND HAVE BEEN SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. DEALER "CLEANS" THEM EACH TIME I BRING IN THE CAR. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THESE DEFECTIVE ROTORS. *AK

FRONT END VIBRATION WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. DEALERSHIP TURNED ROTORS AND REPLACED PADS, HOWEVER PROBLEM IS NOW BACK. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR THIS VEHICLE. *AK

ROTORS ON FRONT OF VEHICLE WARPED TO THE POINT THAT CONTROL OF VEHICLE DIFFICULT. GM AUTHORIZED RESURFACING ONLY AND DEFECTIVE ROTORS WERE LEFT ON CAR. AT 16,000 ROTORS WARPED AGAIN TO THE POINT THAT I FELT VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE. GM REPLACED ROTORS WITH OEM ROTORS AND AT 20,000 THE ROTORS HAVE AGAIN WARPED TO THE POINT OF BEING ANNOYING. SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE MATERIAL COMPOSING THE ROTORS, AND NOT FROM DRIVING STYLE. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR THIS VEHICLE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245/50/Z16 )

HAVE BEEN TO DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT ROTORS WARPING AND VIBRATING. *AK

ROTORS WARPED AT 6K MILES; DEALER REFINISHED SAME. REPAIR LASTED ROUGHLY 6K MILES BEFORE PROBLEM RETURNED. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60MPH +) IF BRAKES ARE APPLIED FRONT WHEELS SHAKE SEVERELY, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. IN A PANIC SITUATION, I DON'T THINK THE CAR WOULD BE CONTROLLABLE. DEALER SOLUTION IS TO RESURFACE ROTORS A SECOND TIME AND REPLACE IF PROBLEM RETURNS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH CAMAROS, AND I FAIL TO SEE HOW REPLACING ROTORS WITH THE SAME PART WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A HIGH PERFORMANCE VEHICLE CAPABLE OF 150MPH + SPEEDS, AND SHOULD HAVE A BRAKING SYSTEM TO MATCH. *AK

THE FRONT ROTORS ARE WARPING PREMATURELY. I HAD A '95 Z28 WHICH I DROVE MUCH HARDER AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM(55,000). THE 1998 HOWEVER, HAS FAILED THREE TIMES IN 25,000 MILES.

BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPED. YH

I HAVE HAD MY ROTORS TURNED ONCE IN SEPT OF 1998. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THE PROBLEM CAME BACK ON 3-30-99 AND THEY REFUSED TO TURN IT SAYING IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $435. I REFUSED TO PAY IT AND WANT THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE MY ROTORS FREE OF CHARGE AS WELL AS MY FRONT TIRES DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR BEACUSE OF THE ROTORS. I HAVE ALREADY WROTE THEM A LETTER BUT HAVENT GOTTEN A RESPONSE YET. *AK

BRAKES SQUEAL WHEN APPLIED. YH

BOTH FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPED. YH

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPING PREMATURELY, NEED RESURFACING FOR THE SECOND TIME. DEALER CONTACTED AND STATES NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE BRAKES. PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

NO SUMMARY PROVIDED BY CONSUMER.

I HAVE TALKED TO A NUMBER OF CAMARO OWNERS WHO ALL ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THE THE DISC BRAKE ROTORS.

BOTH FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AND CAUSED A VIBRATION WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, ESPECIALLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. BOTH FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE NEW ROTORS HAVE JUST BEGUN TO DEMONSTRATE SIGNS OF WARPAGE AGAIN (11000 MILES).

REAR BRAKES MAKES NOISE.

VEHICLE SHOOK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DUE TO THE FRONT DISK BRAKES FAILING.

WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THEY PULLED AND SQUEAKED THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THEM TWICE. *AK

WHEN ABS BRAKES ARE APPLIED FRONT END SHIMMIES. PROBLEM OCCURS IN RAINY CONDITIONS. ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT PROBLEM REMAINS. *AK
