The bosch CO. Has not got back to me about its brake pad recall (recall notice 16e026) on pads pgd598. I called starting in October of last year and then two or three more times and still no response.
Late September early October I received a letter from bosch about a recall on brake pads I had gotten from pepboys. I work for a school district in utah and we do most of the work our self. So I called them and they told me they would call back to tell me what I need to do for this recall. After 2 weeks and no call, I called them, they put me on hold and never got back. I called again a few days later and was transfered to a voice mail box that was full and not taking messages. This car is sitting here for a month and we are not able to use it because of this recall. The shims on the back of the pads comes off and cuts into the rotors. One side has done this and the other is just starting to cut into the rotor. What I would like to know is there anything I can do to get them to speed up with this.
When brakes are applied the front end and steering wheel shake. Replaced rotors and brake pads and front end alignment. One month later front end and steering wheel shake when brakes are applied. Replaced parts again, at least 7 times in the past year and a half.
