Consumer Description

OUR 2005 FREESTYLE HIT 36K MILES AND IMMEDIATELY THE BACK PADS/ROTORS WENT BAD. GRINDING NOISES TOOK ME INTO NTB. THEY STATED THAT THE CALIPERS WERE FROZEN AND TO GO TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WEREN'T BUT THE PADS/ROTORS WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED/RESURFACED - AT $475! THIS IS CRAZY. AT 36K MILES WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES? PREMATURE WEAR & POSSIBLE BRAKE FAILURE DOES NOT SIT COMFORTABLY WITH ME - ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DEALER SWEARS UP AND DOWN THAT THE CALIPERS ARE FINE. *JB
