What owners wrote
Car was approx 4 months old and brakes started squeaking-took into dealer-they turned the rotors-fixed for about 2 wks - its back again and now when I apply brakes the front end of the car shakes violently. I am scared to drive this vehicle. I've tried to enter several times - it will not take it.
Kept hearing a clunking noise in the front end when going over speed bumps or hitting regular bumps in the road. Have taken it to chevy mechanics several times, and no issue was found. Took it in to an independent mechanic for a tune up and he told me that the front bushings were completely shot and it was having an adverse effect on my alignment. Mechanic stated that for the bushings to be in the condition they were in, this had to have been an ongoing problem.
