| We took the car in for brake pads and the installer said the drums were worn down to almost nothing. they should not wear out that fast. the back is fine just the front. i also want to tell you about a 1992 cadillac the alloy wheels of our fleetwood are bad. we have put many different tires on and they all go flat because of the alloy wheels. you will be going down the highway and the tires go flate. noone seems to be able to fix them because they are alloy. *ak | |||

| At the time of purchase the dealer could not get both sides of the back seats to lay flat only the right side. another complaint is i took my vehicle to the shop because it sounded like the right front tire was warped and when the mechanic did the diagnosis of the front the hub assembly had to be replaced. i was wondering if any complaints have been made or is there pending recalls for these. *ak | |||
