Not a classic. I had an ‘84. First brand new car. It was a surprisingly good and cheap car for when I went to uni. Had to replace the brakes often. Thought it was the cheap car. In retrospect it was likely my driving habits.

Pros: good and cheap car

Cons: replace brakes often

Vehicle: Chevrolet Chevette

The Stinger is notorious for this same problem—I know first hand. Sad part is don’t let Kia touch it because the problem is the brake pad. OE pad material adheres to the rotor.

Pros: OE pad material adheres

Cons: brake shudder-vibration

Vehicle: Kia

A couple of months after purchase the breaks starting squeeking and a 1 1/2 years later they haven’t stopped. I have had the front ones replaced but I keep getting told it is due to no copper in the break pads anymore - I call BS to that. I also had to get a faulty sensor replaced for the front end because it was causing my car to abruptly stop when I attempted to pull off from a parked position. It was thinking something was in front of me so the front end collision thing was kicking in. I’ve also had to get the fuel injectors replaced because they went bad while in a road trip this summer. Luckily we were almost back home instead 800 miles away still. Currently waiting for rear breaks to come in so those can be replaced to hopefully stop this squeak.

Cons: squeaking brakes, faulty front sensor, bad fuel injectors

Vehicle: Chevrolet Traverse
