Re: Help! Brake problem!
It's common for brake friction material to break down with age, causing rapid wear. That being said, however, 3 years seems a short time for that to happen. In my opinion, you were sold a very low quality pad. Not to mention $900 seems a bit steep. Even if you went to a Pontiac dealer and specified all new GM parts, you'd still only pay about $600-$700 - 2 loaded front calipers at $120 each, 2 front rotors at $75 each, 2 rear rotors at $60 each, one set rear pads at $45, and about 2- 3 hours labor at $60/hour (these prices are rough guesstimates and aren't 100% accurate, based on 2002 prices) It seems like you got ripped off, but there's not much you can do about it without spending lots of time and money in small claims court.
