Subject:Vibration/Pulsation When Applying Brakes (Replace Front Brake Pads)

Models:2006-2008 Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR (Mexico Only)
2007-2008 Pontiac G5 (Mexico Only)



Condition

Some customers may comment on a vibration or pulsation when applying the brakes.

This condition may be felt in the brake pedal or in the entire vehicle. It is most likely to occur with repeat moderate to heavy brake applications in a short period of time. One situation where this may happen is descending winding, mountain roads. Once the brakes are allowed to cool down, the vibration subsides.

Correction

Replace the front brake pads with front brake pad kit, P/N 22731037.

Important: Please inform the customer that due to the aggressive nature of these new pads, additional brake dust and/or intermittent noise may be generated.
