Front brakes not releasing completely. Shop stated ceramic brakes did not work as well as metal. Had to replace rotors, pads, and all brake components on front because of heat build up.. Mfg saved money in production and customer gets stuck again

Intermittent pad sticking/smoking - cools off and OK for some time. Replaced pads and rotors and cleaned up the guides that the pads are supposed to slide on. Noticed a fair amount of wear and pitting where the old pads had been sitting. Was shocked to see that there is no way - short of replacing the entire spindle - to replace the guides - a really cheap design... Just had another incident with the new pads and rotors. The GM brake calipers that I have worked on all slide on nice, smooth guide pins that CAN BE REPLACED!!!
