2 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 10/24/2006

I had my car in the garage for a fuel problem which was solved by a computer update and while it was there, I had the dealer do an oil change. For some reason they checked the brakes and found that my left front brakes where gone. They replaced the front rotors and pads and I told them to put the old parts in my car. Upon my own inspection of the old parts, 3 of the pads still had about 1/4 inch of pad left while the inner driver side pad had nothing left to it. The driver side rotor also had significant wear to it while the passenger side still looked and felt fine.

5 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 04/20/2004

About 1 month after I bought my car the brakes started to squeak every time I would apply they brakes. It has continuted to do so up until even this morning. The rotors now have grooves in them ,and the brake pads still have well over 50% of the pad remaining. So far nothing has been done other than to say "it must be moisture. ".
