Pontiac G6 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Safety Report | June 29, 2010
Reported on June 29, 2010
| 2006 PONTIAC G6, CURRENTLY WITH 76,400 MILES AT 21K MY BRAKES WERE ALREADY IN THE YELLOW. AT 38K, I REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES AND HAD THE CAR ALIGNED. AT 45K, I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AGAIN. AT 50K, I HAD TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS. AT 54K, I HAD TO INSTALL NEW ROTORS AND NEW FRONT BRAKES... AGAIN. I PURCHASED HIGH PERFORMANCE, CROSS-DRILLED ROTORS, AND THE BRAKES THAT WERE RECOMMENDED TO GO ALONG WITH THEM, AND HAD THEM INSTALLED AT A REPUTABLE BRAKE COMPANY. AT A LITTLE OVER 54K, I HAD TO DO ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. AT 64K, ANOTHER ALIGNMENT WAS RECOMMENDED AND PERFORMED. AT 71K, BRAKES ARE IN THE YELLOW AGAIN. AND NOW, TODAY, AT 76K, HAD TO RESURFACE THE NEW ROTORS, AND WAS TOLD THAT MY FRONT BRAKES ARE, ONCE AGAIN, NEARING THE RED. AND I'M PRETTY SURE, IF I HAD THE ENERGY, MONEY AND TIME TO CHECK THE ALIGNMENT AGAIN, IT WOULD NEED TO BE RE-ALIGNED AGAIN. PONTIAC G6 HAS SOME SORT OF PROBLEM THAT CAUSES A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF BRAKE AND ROTOR WEAR, AND ALIGNMENT ISSUES. PERIOD. *TR | |
