Brake job after brake job. The last one that really pissed me off is I replaced rear calipers, rotors and pads, as well as front pads 2 years ago. Within a year I had pulsating (rotor trouble) and after 2 years (and 3000km) I had to replace all the rotors and pads. I bought expensive aftermarket stuff too; top of the line."

"ABS control module failed shortly after I purchased the vehicle, most likely because the car had been driven very little in the previous year. I did the repair myself, $300 for the module, and then I had to take the car to the dealership to have the new module programmed,$125. Had I let the dealership do the entire repair, it would have cost $1100."
