| I had the brakes serviced at 4 different pontiac dealers in two different states for the same thing.. my brakes did not work i kept telling them they say nothing is wrong with them you are crazy they told me so after 6 months of this it got old...i went to midas a free inspection by the time i left i had spent 150 dollars for new brakes because my rear brakes were never adjusted it left the lit and the plant without ever being ajusted or aligned so for months i was riding around with no brakes scary thought huh? so all the weight of 4 brakes was being put on one side till it wore down to nothing...that woukd explain why i was complaining about it sliding in the rain......if you have the fan or a/c in in the car it stinks.( when starting the car) and thats just the beginning | |||
