Pontiac

Does any one else have problems with the brakes grinding ,but the brakes are not bad.also do you get good gas milage? i drive 30 min to work and put about 60 dollars in a week.i get not even 200 miles to the tank.

I have a grand am gt and the same problem as you are having i changed the brakes even went as far as changing the brake callipers and after a month or so that darn grinding sound came back..then i talked to an uncle of mine who has been a mechanic for almost 30 years working for gm and he told me the reason for this sound is because of where they located the caliper on the rotor and it is open to get alot of dust and small particles on the pads ..so he told me not to worry about it and it is fine..and i find that i get nice gas millage when i change the oil and do a bit of a tune-up twice a year but after about 2000 miles i find my gas millage starts to get a bit harder...i travel 15 minutes to work every day and then home and it cost me about 40 dollars a week on gas.so in all that is not the best gas millage compared to some cars out today.
