I had my front brakes replaced on 9/30/08. (rotors and pads) They were creating a lot of brake dust so I took it back in and they told me that was normal and nothing was wrong. Yesterday, it starting grinding so I took it back again and now they say my caliper froze up so I need everything replaced again.

Hi there,

If the rotors were replaced last time, if they are not to bad they will come up with a machining. replace the pads and have the calipers re kitted this will fix your problem.
