My lease is near expiration and after searching the new cars availalble on the market, I'm seriously considering financing my balloon payment and keeping my Maxx. Overall, it has been a very good and reliable car. No complaints with the mileage 25 city/35 hwy -- how often do you find that with a V6?

My main complaint is with the rotors and brakes. I had to have them replaced all around when the car was less than 18 months old ($700 cost) and I'm fairly certain that it needs to be done again. The Chevy dealership told me that this is normal for a car to go through rotors and brakes this often, but I'm no dummy, owned many cards in my lifetime and even had other mechanics tell me this was not normal.

I'm just wondering what else I should expect to go wrong now that the car has 44k miles on it. I have 3 months left to decide -- turn it back in and buy something new or keep it? The only real complaint has been that I have to change the back tail light about every 6 months. I usually know it has gone out because when it does, my auto door fob will not open or close the door.

Any insight from other users would be nice. Also - why hasn't GM issued any recalls for this rotor issue? It is obviously not a user defect -- IT IS NOT NORMAL TO GO THROUGH 3 SETS OF BRAKES & ROTORS WITH A CAR UNDER 44,000 MILES.

Thanks for any input
