Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Dealer has been sympathetic towards problem/buick states the premature wear of rear disc pads and rotors are because i live in an area where there is road salt and sand.i don't think that this is the problem. buick is advising the dealers that we have to apply the parking brake once a week to adjust the rear calipers, this was done and the problem continues. on 7-23-99 i had the car to the dealer for the third time with this problem. this is the fourth set of disc pads and rotors on this car i have talked to other owners of these cars and they have had the same problem. other cars that are having this problrm are hev. lumina, pontiac gran prix, olds cutlass. for the production year 1994-1995. again g.m> and buick are stating this is not a problem. when the rotors warp the whole car shakes when applying brakes. the rear calipers do not work properly, therefore the rear brake pads do not touch the rear rotors until hard braking, and the rotors collect dirt and dust when they do not work, and when hard braking is done the calipers finally work, but when they hit the rotors the pads heat up the dirty rotors, thus they heat up and warp. i hope i made some kind of sense in this comment, it can be hard to explain. hankyou for this matter. |
