Anyone have this problem. The inner front brake pads retaining clips rusting away to nothing leaving the brake pads bouncing around loosely in the callipers. Where does this poor quality end. By the way there still is more than half the pad left.

Mine haven't rusted away but two months ago the drivers side anti-rattle clip, as it is called, just fell off while I was pulling out of a parking lot. After re-bending it so it somewhat resembled the same shape it used to be I put it back on. Went back to a dealer (not where I bought the DAK) who tried to tell me it wasn't warranted but then, surprise-surprise, it was covered. Something about it wasn't a non-wearing part like pads/shoes and what not, so thus it was covered( as I knew it would be). New one was put back, no problems since.
