“I have a 1999 Chrysler Cirrus. My wife took the car for the day 10/15/08, she called me at work to say the brakes were making a very loud grinding noise. The next day I drove the car to the dealer to have the brakes serviced. On the way over, the brake pads completely stopped functioning. I had to down shift to stop. I drove at 10 MPH or slower the last mile to the dealer. They told me the rotors needed to be replaced along with the brakes. This car had no brakes. What troubles me, is that the brake pads had no wear indicators on them. …”
