I have a new 2006 Honda Civic with 9500 miles on it.just replaced brake pads.car having problem stopping?
Thursday, November 6th, 2008Ken asked:
The car has problem stopping..and smoke billows out from under the wheel well..they have replaced the Pads twice..could this be a master cylinder problem..even if the car is new?
This first occured on the left front wheel well..smoke billowing..nasty smell..then they replaced them again and this time happened on the right front wheel well..billowing smoke..and yes i heard a grinding noise which led me to this..sounded like bad pads..which for 9500 miles is insane to me..
Also, only thing that has been replaced so far is pads..which i didnt take to a dealer since i didnt thinks pads were covered under warranty
It turns out..that apparently on the 2006 Civic LX you really need to use OEM parts..and they didn’t ..the OEM parts are woking great..kinda weird if ya ask me but..so far no problems..
