| Description of the problem | While driving i suddenly started to hear grinding on the front on braking. Immediately i assumed issues with break pads but previous to this there was no warning of any kind form the car sensors or from a previous service. Fortunately i was close to home and a repair shop. Assuming worn break pads, i had all pads replaced on inspecting the pads it was clear that there was some quality issue to one set of front pads as all other pads were of safe. It seems that the pad under question broke apart while the vehicle was in motion. I believe this is product quality issue. I have retain all the pads for inspection of required. |
