| 2003 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | I HAVE A 2003 PONTIAC GRAND AM GT. AT 13,000 MILES, THE FRONT BRAKE PADS HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE FRONT ROTORS HAD TO BE TURNED AND THE REAR ROTORS REPLACED. MY DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND ALSO OWN A 2003 PONTIAC GRAND AM GT AND HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. TWO DIFFERENT INDEPENDENT MECHANICS HAVE SAID IT IS DUE TO DEFECTIVE (POOR QUALITY) ROTORS BEING USED BY GM. WHEN WE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF PONTIAC THEY ONLY SAID THAT ALL MANUFACTURERS ARE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. REPAIR COSTS FOR BRAKE PADS, NEW ROTORS AND TURNING FRONT ROTORS WAS $577.20. PONTIAC TOLD MY DAUGHTER AND SON-IN-LAW THAT THEY WOULD NOT WARRANTY THE BRAKES AND ROTORS AS THEY ARE CONSUMABLES. MY MECHANIC RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE PARTS WITH BENDIX BRAND PARTS INSTEAD OF STANDARD GM PARTS. HE SAID THIS WILL PROBABLY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *NM |
