| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Dt: front brakes started grinding at about 70,000 miles. the consumer purchased new brake parts for front and rear brakes, assuming that if the front brakes were worn out it would make sense to replace the rear at the same time. the front brake pads were completely worn out to the metal backing. upon removing the rear brake shoes and comparing them to the newly purchased shoes there was no noticeable wear. in effect, the car was only using the front brakes. owned this vehicle since it was new and have been involved in two front end collisions where the front brakes locked, making it harder to maneuver and causing it to crash into the vehicle ahead, even when trying to steer around to avoid a collision. *ak updated 7/13/2006 - the consumer was told that the brake wear was normal. *nm |
