WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR BRAKE PADS AND THE INSTALLER SAID THE DRUMS WERE WORN DOWN TO ALMOST NOTHING. THEY SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT THAT FAST. THE BACK IS FINE JUST THE FRONT. I ALSO WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT A 1992 CADILLAC THE ALLOY WHEELS OF OUR FLEETWOOD ARE BAD. WE HAVE PUT MANY DIFFERENT TIRES ON AND THEY ALL GO FLAT BECAUSE OF THE ALLOY WHEELS. YOU WILL BE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE TIRES GO FLATE. NOONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIX THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE ALLOY. *AK

I BOUGHT A NEW VEHICLE SO I WOULD NOT HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. THE MECHANICS SAID THAT THERE IS A WORK ORDER OUT ON THE TORQUE CONVERTERS. IT WILL COST ME $1600 FOR TRANMISSION PLUS RENTAL CAR AND $618 FOR THE TWO WHEEL BEARINGS. THE TORQUE CONVERTER KNOCKS WHEN I SHIFT GEARS AND CAUSES PRESSURE BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE. THE WHEEL BEARINGS CAUSE LOUD NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE WHEEL MAY COME OFF. I SHOULD NOT HAVE THESE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH A VEHICLE, THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT A NEW ONE...I NEVER HAD PROBLEMS LIKE THIS WITH OTHER 4X4 VEHICLES. GMC SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES FOR THESE PROBLEMS. THERE IS TO BE WORK ORDERS OUT ON BOTH PROBLEMS..SO THE COMPANY IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS. THIS IS MY FIRST CHEVY AND I THINK IT WILL BE MY LAST. *AK
