| My brakes were acting funny, i took them into usa muffler & brake they said that i need 4 new rotors all new brakes and new rear calipers. the reason for most of this damage is because at some point the rear calipers froze up. i took the car to another shop and they confirmed the same so i had the work done. i feel that general motors should have to pay some of this bill because if the rear calipers had not failed i wouldn't have near the damage! please let me know if there are any recalls in progress, the mechanic said that this is common in lumina's | |||
