Consumer Description

I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES BUT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS TWICE SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE 6/18/03. I WAS TOLD THE FIRST TIME WHICH WAS IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR THAT I HAD TO HAVE MY BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED THAT IT WAS BECAUSE MY BRAKE PADS WERE STICKING AND HAD WORN COMPLETELY AWAY SO THEY WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT HAD OCCURED BEFORE I HAD PUT 12000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE SECOND TIME WAS IN SEPTEMBER AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AGAIN, BUT AFTER I TOOK MY CAR HOME I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WOULD SHUDDER VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING SO I TOOK IT BACK THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER AND THEY HAD TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE ROTORS FOR THE SECOND TIME AS WELL.*AK
