| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Upon taking vehicle in for routine maintenance brake job, due to town & country pontiac advising that brakes needed to be maintained, i was advised (not by the dealership, by another mechanic's shop) that the right front rotar was worn and had to be replaced as required by md. law. upon learning this, i then took vehicle to penn pontiac, as town & country looked at my brakes and did not inform me of the unsafe conditions, and penn pontiac confirmed that only the right side rotar had been chewed up. they further advised me that the brake pads were not worn unevenly and that there was no way possible that this occurred from normal wear. they further advised that the right front rotar had to have been machined at some point because the braking system was working properly and the brake pads were normal. when the vehicle was taken in to have the maintenance performed, the brakes had never been repaired or maintained, as the sensor had just began making noise which indicated that it was just then time for the normal maintenance. therefore, there had to have been a defect in the braking system or town & county pontiac had to have machined that rotar prior to the purchase of said vehicle. this vehicle was purchased with 3000 miles, as it was a demo. town & country never disclosed any information of prior repairs required prior to my purchase of same. i don't believe it is fair to expect a buyer to assume that repairs would have been performed on a new vehicle with only 3000 miles. *ak |
