March 2019 CrashInjury

While getting an oil change at my GMC dealer they discovered that a rear brake pad was separating from the back metal plate it was attached. They said it was a serious safety issue. They said it was a manufacturing issue and not the result of wear. The dealer said the car should not be driven. They did not have the repair parts so I took it to tuffy muffler who fixed it. They confirmed it was due to a manufacturing issue.
