All the above are true in your case. Doesn't GM transfer warranty coverage to second owner ? If I can get dealer to turn rotors three times you should be able to get some help ? Good luck

After the first year, generally speaking, warranty does not cover pads and rotors unless you bought additional coverage or have a Branded dealer, in our case GM, perform regular brake maintenance.

I was surprised when he said he changed the brakes already. It was not a Chevy Dealer, but I thought they were reputable. Well... After much hounding I found out they used aftermarket pads. The rotors were not worked on at all. I am taking it in on Monday to a Chevy Dealer to hopefully get this taken care of. I do still have the Gm warranty.
BlackHHR... Do you know why you had to replace the rotors so many times? Is this something they are finding often on the HHR?

At 25,000 Mi. don,t expect warranty coverage on aftermarket brakes. Brakes are a wear item just like tires. However the Chevy dealer should be able to repair them to be quiet, but it'll cost ya.
