10,000 miles brake work - shaved rotors
20,000 miles brake work - replaced pads
22,000 miles brake work - knocking sound
28,000 miles brake work - replaced rear drums
38,000 miles alternator
40,000 battery acid leak.
I am extremely upset with the quality GM has input in this vehicle. My problem with my brakes is occurring again at 42,000 miles and looks like it is the rear drums again! Dealership says normal wear and tear or hit a puddle while hot. I guess I can't drive my Equinox when it is raining! Unbelievable! We should be looking into a class action.
That's sound like a classic case of a GM brake system!!!
How is the engine holding up now...

I have a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt with the same brake problems. The mechanic also told me about hitting puddles. However, I just made sure not to get my rotors wet while I am cleaning my car, and I haven't had the problem since 44 thousand miles.-I am now knocking on the door of 80 thousand miles. I don't think puddles are the issue. Just don't get the rotors wet while cleaning the vehicle.
