Yes, thank God it is still under warranty. I'll have them look at it early next week when it goes in for a transaxle replacement (thanks TSB!). FWIW- I priced out calipers today at Advance for grins.. $215 a piece!
I'll let you all know how it works out... Thanks again for all of the help! -------------------- 2012 Chevy Cruze Eco 6mt- yay turbo!

calipers should be covered under the 60k 5yr warranty. IIRC

Update and D'oh moment!
Took the van to the dealer last week. The tech was really cool- and explained that my issue was just that- mine. Apparently this is a common mistake for rear brake pad replacement on this vehicle. When the caliper is "hung" while replacing pads- it is very easy to kink the line w/o it being noticeable. (hides behind the caliper). I went through and popped the pads on in just minutes, maneuvered the line and it compressed nice and easy! Thankfully this was an easy resolution for what was a very frustrating problem. -------------------- 2012 Chevy Cruze Eco 6mt- yay turbo!
