The problem is the that the seals on the brakes rust out, and are extremely expensive to replace. (I don't normally drive the car much in winter, in fact, since the last time I had the brakes done, I don't think I've put more than a couple thousand of miles on the car since I use another car for commutting). Several questions: what's going on??? How can I prevent this from reocurring?? I don't to get rid of the car, with the price of them these days, it's the last one I'll ever own, unless I finally win a lottery. Is there a pertinent Hotline number at GM that I can discuss this (boy, I wish they adopted ford's line, if they fix it once, you never have to pay for it again!!!). Oh well, all pertinent replies appreciated. Ihor Kinal houxt!ijk
