Description of the problem | The plastic piston in the calipers are engaged against the brake pads and have worn down the disc(rotor) over time. I do long distance driving, not start and stop; hence, it has taken this long to manifest itself. I complained about the front brakes grinding a second time on november 27, 2000.*ak |
