I got my brake pads and rotors renewed at a GM dealer, 20k miles ago. I was at a different GM dealer getting other work done and they commented that I had 3mm left on the pads and they were needing changed. I told the serivce manager that they had been changed only
20k and thought they should have lasted longer. ( I ain't no boy racer).Anyway he said, no need to worry as GM pads come with a lifetime replacement warranty but I would have to go back to the original GM dealer who did the brake work. So I make the call to the original dealer about the brakes and get informed that they only cover 12 months or 12,000 miles.
My question is, does such a replacement warranty on GM pads exist or was I being told a porky pie?
The car in question is a Malibu 2001. I thought I should have at least have got 35k out a set of pads. What do GM make the pads out of, cheese?
