 I'm sorry that i can't be more descriptive about this, but i am a woman what do you expect? anyways, i have had my front brake pads replaced about 3 times now! i just had all new brakes and the rotors turned 4 months ago and the dealership said on my last brake inspection, 12/4 /00, that i only have 40% left on the front and 70% on the back! how can this be? i could understand this if i had a gizillion miles on my car and i ran the hell out of it but 35,000 miles and 3 brake jobs?! what's wrong with this picture? well i guess that it will be a merry christmas at the dealership seeings how they have ripped me off for hundreds and hundreds of dollars! *ak
