2010 Pontiac Vibe 4dr Hatch
132-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD
| 32560 mi C $180 |
Rapid rear disc brake pads wear. Brake pad stuck in rear calpier, not moving freely. Was told it's a common problem on these cars, rear brakes do not do much work in daily driving. |
| 63240 mi C $246 |
rear brakes uneven wear once again. One set of pads more worn than other. Replaced just brake pads and cleaned re-lubed all slide pins. |
| 66340 mi C $650 |
Rear pads worn out yet again. Mechanic said it is a design flaw. Replaced calipers, rotors, pads all 4 wheels, fronts still OK though, and replaced/bled brake fluid. Rear brake backing plates rusted completely. Live in QC, salt used here by the ton during winter. Replaced backing plates and hub bearings as well, couldn't separate hubs from backing plates as they were rusted. I supplied most of the brake parts, total cost was $1200. |
2010 Pontiac Vibe 4dr Hatch
132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD
| 42000 mi US $343 |
Intermittent grinding/rumbling noise coming to stop. Light grooves in rotors, some life left on pads. Replaced pads and rotors. There was still pad left, but gave national brake chain benefit of doubt. Turned out to be the tires making most of the noise from getting to wear bars and at least three plugs from punctures. |
