renault clio authen brake pads worn out every year
Purchased a brand new renault clio authentic 2013 model in june 2013, brakes were making a squeeky sound by april 2014. When I brought it in for a 15 000km service in july 2014 they told me that they were worn out. It shocked me as they told me it must be my 'style' of driving that wore out the brake pads out that quickly. I replaced them in august 2014. 8 months later they were already making that sound again. Brought the vehicle in for the 30000km service in june 2014 and once again i was told they are worn out again and need to be replaced again. I almost believed that it must be my kind of driving although it did not make sense to me as i do not brake in a reckless manner, i brake cautiously, until two friends who drive the exact same vehicle complained about the same problem with brake pads needing to be replaced every year. I find it highly impossible that 3 different people, Im sure many more, could all be braking recklessly. This is an indication that the brake pads for this vehicle were poorly manufactured and it is unfortunate that it is the customer who has to bear the cost of such poor parts quality.
