RR wheel cylinder blew out while driving. Tore brake shoe support apart, bent backing plate severely. Tow (included in repair) was $125 for 8 mile trip.rnMechanic said LR cylinder broke apart whenever they removed that drum. Replaced both. |

| 108000 mi US $450 |
Total rebuild of rear drum brakes. |
| 110500 mi | Rear brakes started squealing. Thought it was the brakes in front but they needed to redo the rear because of faulty parts installation or adjustments from a previous repair. They replaced some hardware and made adjustments and removed a piece of rusted dirt shield. Repair warranty covered it. |

135-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD

I did it myself: front, new rotors and pads. Rear brake shoes plus a wheel cylinder with the bleeding. I had new summer tires installed at a shop. |
