Description of the problem | My brakes have had squealing and since the vehicle was purchased. I was told it was dirty rotors and it couldn't be fixed. At about 12,000 miles it began to vibrate when braking. I was told the brakes were showing some wear, but it was normal. At the 15k mile check i again reported the vibration. Again i was told it was normal wear. Now at 23,000 miles i learned of a tsb issued for the vibration problem on my vehicle. When i took the vehicle to the dealer i was told i need a brake job, but the tsb only covers vehicles under 36,000m and 3 ears. My vehicle is over 3 years so i am told the tsb does not apply. *jb |
