“The contact owns a 1987 Chevrolet Celebrity. On 01/24/2007, the front brake pads were replaced. The contact began hearing a grinding and squeaking noise when applying the brakes on 02/15/2007 and was unable to stop the vehicle without using the emergency brake. The contact later observed that the passenger side brake pads and that his calipers were rubbing together and replaced the brakes, rotor, disk and calipers. On approximately march 12, 2007 the duplicate failure reoccurred on the drivers side of the vehicle. The contact was driving 20-25mph and the weather was not a factor. …”
