Took my car in for a check engine light, slipping of the transmission. I was called and told that the transmission is fine and that the new sv transmissions handle differently from the older transmissions, I shouldn't be worried. Then I was told that I need to replace the front and rear brakes as they are bad. I was told by the service advisor that I ruined the brakes by driving the car hard. This is the first time in my thirty four years of driving that I have been told that I ruin brakes. When I purchased the vehicle it had 14599 miles. When I brought the vehicle in for check engine light the mileage on the vehicle it had 24397. Less than 10,000 miles had been driven on this vehicle and I am being told that I have to spend 600 dollars on a brake job. I have owned many cars, different makes and models and I have never ever had to replace brakes, rotors, pads, drums, shoes so soon. I believe that this vehicle has defective rotors, drums and should be replaced at manufacturers/dealers cost. I own a 2011 kia sportage and drove that for close to 60,000 miles before having to do brakes. The brakes have a pulsating, vibrating when braking on highway speeds and on city roads. This is a safety concern as well. Brakes on a vehicle with such low miles should not have to be replaced so soon.
