| Description of the problem | 6/1/20 brakes good measured 8 (in the green) this is when i received a new water pump (i know! Under warranty issue also imo). Milage 25490. September got new tires. Anti lock brakes went off right a way x2. 10/10/20 took car in for 30,000 mile check at 29,053 miles. Brakes measured at 3. Mckenna suggested new brakes(pads, rotors) $700. 00. What would cause brakes going from 8 to 3 in 4 months? I have concerns with antilocking brakes. I believe they are too sensitive and caused brake issues |
