I too got the ER brake light coming on and checked my fluid...nope.. all full. Then came that nasty warning screeeeching sound from the front left. Ugh.. need new front pads. No big deal I'm thinking. Maybe $100 or so. Then comes the phone call from my local Merlin Muffler and Brakes (and I thought I was being clever not getting sucked by a dealer). Almost $600. New front brake pads and new rotors. They said my rotors are warped. The big thing is coming from labor because I have a 4x4 they need to disassemble my hubs or some crap like that to replace the rotors.
I'm not happy. I love my X, don't get me wrong. I've never been happier with a vehicle nor have I ever enjoyed driving so much. I'm just getting a little sick to the stomach thinking that I'm getting some minor issues fixed and it turns out to be a big expensive project. With crap like this busting my wallet I'll never be able to get my mods!
Hey LOSS, where did you take your car again? I mean, the location of the shop?
