| Description of the problem | Noise from drivers side rear brakes in late april 2009. Checked brakes rotors extremely hot-rear only. Front brakes fine;however, rear worn almost to metal. Made appointment with dealer for may 13. Car is only 17 mo old, 15,000 miles (mostly highway driving). Dealer will replace pads but will charge a rear brake service$150. I believe there is a brake design flaw. Dealer wants $160/axle every 15000 miles to "service" brakes- clean calipers. Brakes should last longer than 15,000 miles. |
