| Light rain; car had been at auto station repair shop three times for a rear brake job. front brakes were new. orginal complaint: passenger rear tire locked up and car skidded. 9-4-99, truck slammed on brakes to avoid hitting another car, we slammed on brakes and wheel locked up and we skidded over one block into truck. mom (me) broke 3 ribs, son hurt neck, daughter cut lip. after body shop had car for almost 4 weeks, returned car to auto station. they fixed master cylinder--guarenteed to fix. test drive- car skidded accoss shop's parking lot. replaced drums. rear brakes appear to be working with a loud rattle-like thumping noise. after much money spent and now 5 trips to auto station, i drive car to work and pray to god that the brakes hold this time. mechanics said accident was caused from oversized drums. i took drums to 2 other car shops--both stated drums were fine and could be turned one more time, but no more. ribs, neck, and mouth are all healing fine. mom (me) is blond with a visa. som | |||
