actually it was maintained if it wasnt for the money i wouldve had my mechanic look at it. come to find out it was their failt the float bolts were seized because they werent greased.Art said:If you let your brake pads wear out, they will eat the rotors, no matter what kind of car you drive.
I have a 2001 Chevy Lumina with 280000+ miles on the original drivetrain, and as an ex mechanic,(for a taxi company) I can tell you these Chevies, ay least, are solid cars IF properly maintained.
There's no such thing as amaintenance free car

jerry my cousin drives a 240 wagon its seen the shop less times than my truck has
you could say that about older chevies, the rear brake system comes off in 3 pieces and not a well designed one even my mechanic told me its the worst of the gm disc brake set ups next to the killer brembos cobalts have.Art said:Chevy truck disc brakes are simple a stone hammer; two bolts to remove and install, and a big c clamp to push the pison back in.
Hey, if you want a Volvo, get one, it's your money, your butt ridin in it, and ultimately your satisfaction or lack thereof, but don't talk a chevy down because it developed a brake problem after 5 years of neglect. (you said they were serviced in 06, I believe)
Like I said before if you don't maintain it, any car will go to crap.
Brakes should be checked every oil change (takes like five seconds on a lift, honestly) and any time you hear the sound of the great barrier reef, if you don't take a look you're asking for trouble
