2010 vios - after 6 mos. per toyota pudpud na raw yung brake pads

**irodulfo** · July 7th, 2010 05:21 PM

ive been going back to toyota marikina for almost every weekend for 3 consecutive weeks just to have my brakes checked. at first, yung sa harap ang may tumutunog (garalgal na parang pumipitik na sound) then lastly ung sa likod naman (parang may naiipit na sound).

service supervisors of marikina told me when i asked for an explanation why my brakes were havings such sounds - yung sa harap daw napudpud na yung brake pads kasi lalo na raw city driving so mas madalas umapak ng brakes. acceptable? bullshit! how can that happen e bagong bago ung auto.. wala pa ngang 1 year. sinabi ko nga yun kaso they insisted na un talaga ang rason.. so ok ginawa.. siningil lang ako ng doc. fee..

after a week (actually days lang) ung sa likod naman ang tumunog.. this time, they explained that small stones might have caused it. may naipit raw. such explanation is somehow accepatable pero ung una talagang reason ang **** pre.. '

actually, right now, after having experience this.. medyo naffrustrate na ko sa vios.. dami kagad napapansin considering kababago-bago..

anyways... just sharing guys..

is your VIOS automatic tranny?

How many people ride with you?

9,700 km in six months? ... that is actually pretty high. Actually twice than what I would expect from the average.

is that quite high?

most of the time it's only my wife who rides with me...

The mileage is high.

As to my own estimate, average would be between 10,000 km to 12,000km per year.

As for brake pads wearing out, it's a factor of driving habits and driving conditions. If you have to a habit of driving fast and braking hard, that could explain the current condition of your factory brake pads.

Or maybe the driver has the habit of "forgetting" to disengage his handbreak before driving off.

That's unusual na mapudpud yung brake pads in only 6 months / ~ 10K odo. my car is 3 years old / 32K odo at mga brake pads ay makapal pa.
baka stuck-up na yung brake mo kaya mabilis mapudpud yan. better go to another casa para ma-check.
