problem #1

Oct 092003

Monte Carlo 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,500 miles
New brake pads installed May 2002. Squealed from beginning. Then a metal to metal noise began intermittently when applying brakes. Took to car repair shop twice, one time being Feb. 2003(have receipt) and was told brake pads were still like new. Metal to metal noise continued and happened more and more but never constant. Finally, on incident date, car made terrible noise each time brakes were applied and would have been a safety hazard to drive. Car towed and found that the rotors were completely destroyed and brake pads completely gone in the period from Feb. 2003 to Oct. 2003. Dealer assumed problem was associated with an owner maintenance problem instead of determining why brake rotors went.
