Friday was a day from hell for my poor MB. First off I was coming off the interstaate and hit the brakes and they went damn near to the floor and the car started vibrating wildly with the brakes even lightly applied. Limped to a shop just down the road and found that the rotors were coming apart and the pads on both sides were completely worn through. Only a small piece of one pad was left.
After spending 400 bucks to have the rotors and pads as well as wear sensors replaced I was on my way.
As I pulled into the hotel parking lot( I am in Virginia on business) I heard a thud and then something started dragging the ground under the car. I stopped, got ouit and looked and the rear mufflers had come off the front hanger and was dragging and diggin into the pavement. I had to back the car into an empty space. Could not find anyone to fix it yesterday so I found a guy who looked like he might have some metal banding in his truck(ends up, he is a plumber) he had plenting of metal banding material. So I tied the front of the muffler up the heat shield and just when I though I was done, the pipe between the the front and rear muffler just fell off.

I bought this car in April and this is the first major problem I have had with this thing. What really ticks me off is that I had this in a shop who will remain nameless less than 2 months ago and was told that the brakes were good and it looked in pretty good shape on the undercarage. I have already blasted that shop on another forum so I won't go into the details here, but just another reason I will not be giving these guys any business in the future. Seems like anything as close to going south should be fairly obious on visual inspection to me. Am I over reacting here. Some of you shop owners chime in. I want to make sure I have the right perspective on this so I don't unfairly stay pissed at someone who I shouldn't.
