1 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 07/25/2011

This car was "inspected" on July 25, 2011 at affordable auto glass, 806 elm street, west springfield, MA (massachusetts inspection station pb 024377). Upon purchasing this car in October, 2011, I attempted to get a ri inspection sticker for it when registering it in ri. It failed on several counts (bald tires, bad rear brakes, 2 bad front axles). I would like this station investigated to find out how this car could have passed a mass inspection only 3 months before I bought it. In addition to the failed items, one front brake caliper was frozen and the bracket holding the other front brake caliper was broken.

2 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 03/29/2005

Excessive brake repairs. I have had to replace my brakes every 30,000 miles. I have never had a car or truck that has needed to have all the components of the braking system replaced with such frequency. While at the dealer another owner was complaining to service about the same issue.
