| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was having trouble with the brakes on my car. it is a 2005 chevrolet malibu. i took the car to midas and had the front brakes replaced in april. i didn't drive the car for about 2 weeks after that. when i got back into town i drove as usual. in the middle of june when i would step hard on the brakes the brake light would come on and the warning bell would go off. i took the car back to midas to have it checked on june 23rd. the brake fluid was less than half full. the mechanic checked the brakes. when he lifted the car up you could see where the brake fluid was leaking. he said the caliper on the right brake had blown the seal. he replaced the caliper. he had to get it from california. he said the caliper shouldn't have blown because the car was only over a year old. *jb |
