Grand Prix 8-cyl

  • 35,000 miles
I have a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix gxp with 35,000 miles on it. I was just told that it needs its third set of front brakes and rotors. After the last brake and rotor replacement, grooves were being made on the front rotors within 2 months and the dealership said the brakes were wearing normally. I understand that GM knows about this excessive brake wear problem and is doing nothing about it. The last time the dealer replaced rotors and brakes free even though not under warranty. This time they are telling me they know of no problems with the vehicle's brakes and that it is normal for these brakes to need replacing this often. There appears to be some problem with the brake/vented rotor combination that is causing excessive wear.
