Default Brake Dust, Its True

Hey guys, I got sick and tired of all that nasty Brake dust so i went back to the dealer got a loaner and told them about the tsb and this site and that i read if people complain enough they would replace them for free and put better pads with hardly any dust, and BAM!!!! no questions asked they said Ok. Drove 5 days and NO dust Sweet!!!

I agree man. Had the TSB done and it amazes me how little dust there is. I'm almost convinced the rears get dirtier quicker.

I know some guys out there said the new pads don't perform as well, but I've been driving my car just a hard and notice no difference. The master tech told me they are no different. Personally, I have to agree.

I kinda got screwed on this, I complained and complained and nothing. Enough said I had no choice but to replace them and then they came out with the this. My Rear breaks need to be replaced at my next service so you think there is any ways I can possibly get them for free since they have it on record multiple times that I have been complaining about the old brake pads?

You get free front.

3 days of the TSIB brake pads = 30 minutes of driving on OEM pads. [Amount of brake dust]

I just got mine done along with the aux input tsib and no dust at all!

I am having an issue though as the Check System light is on and my tires have plenty of air. I'm gonna have to take it in yet again.

Yes, the rears get dirty faster than the fronts.

IMO, the brake TSIB is a must for EVERYONE! Please search in the brake forum for the thread.

Technically I got mine done twice. First time I did it they put on the same one, drove for about two months notice squealing and still the same amount of dust. Went in for engine rattle TSB and done the brakes again and now no dust and squeal. Love the new brakes!
