| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I took my car in for front brakes on 11-25-00. i was told the back brake pads were wearing unevenly and that i would not hear any "wear noise" before the pad wore through and wrecked the rotors. the mechanic said the "sleeve" gm installed to move the brake pads was "seized". he said the "kit" he would use would fix the problem. this extra cost for 2 rear calipers was incurred by me because gm's factory installed calipers were inferior. i also learned there is a class action suit to help customers like me who have these bad brake parts. i called gm, but they said there is nothing they could do because i did not take it to a gm dealer to get the brakes done. i went to my local gm dealer that same day and learned that they knew about this problem also. is there any "secret warranties" on this??? who can i contact for some reimbursement for the extra $404.98 i incurred for this defect???*ak |
