| Driving in our car we experienced a loud noise from the right rear of the car, took it to our local goodyear mechanic, he stated and showed me that the calipers were not funcitioning correctly in the rear, both inboard brake pads were metal to metal while the outboard pads were like new. thankfully we heard the noise so a brake failure did not occur. upon taking it to the dealer they stated this was abnormal and a problem, but not covered under warranty, no replacement or service to the calipers were made. i am now waiting for it to prematurely wear out again. the dealer exclaimed that he had never seen a car wear out that quickly on one side of the pads. i believe it is a caliper failure, confirmed by the goodyear service person. *ak | |||

| I bought my car in january of 2001. i was looking through the recalls on my vehicle and there was one in april of 2001 and i did not receive anything on it. it was something about the brakes and the car idling up to high and i am having problems with that. when i push my brakes it fills like it is going to take off by itself. i have 2 very small children and i think that if you have recalls on cars that everyone that has that car should know so that no more injuries can occur due to the problem. i would greatly appreciate it if someone would send me something on this problem so that i can take it to my local dealership and get it seen about. i have a 2000 dodge neon, and as i said i found this recall on this site and i was not contacted about it in 2001 nor was i aware that such a recall exsisted. i have been having this problem out of my car for awhile now and everytime i took it to the dealership they said that nothing was wrong. i don't think that they knew what they were looking for. i would like the same respect that everyone else got and have a chance to correct the default in my car. so please send me some information immediately. thanks, ksims. ak | |||
