vehicle had been in the shop a total of three weeks for this one problem that is still on going.

Finally, this vehicle was a pre-owned vehicle that was supposed to have been checked out. Let me tell the real story, first I had to pay out of my pocket to get the brake fixed. The brakes were making a loud noise, I paid for new brake pads that was $75 dollars. Can you explain why I had to pay for new brakes on a pre-owned vehicle?

Lastly, my vehicle is currently in the shop once again for my brake system. *Jb
