| Description of the problem | Heard squealing and howling from the rear driver side. Took to dealership and was told that the brakes hung up and i needed to replace brakes and rotor ($189. 00). I was told that this is a maintenance issue and nothing was covered under warranty. I purchased the items and when they were going to be replaced we discovered the dust boot was pulled out of the caliper (which would have been covered under warranty) i contacted the dealer and was told that every 7000 miles the calipers would need rebuilt. I've been driving and grew up around garages and never heard of such a thing! |
