Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 62 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING, LOST POWER THEN COASTED TO A STOP. THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE LEFT REAR ROTOR MELTED DOWN AND GUMMED UP THE BRAKE FLUID. THIS RESULTED IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION BEING INOPERATIVE. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE ROTOR MELT DOWN ,THEY ONLY REPLACED THE MELTED AND DAMAGED PARTS. *NM *LA
