Consumer Description

DT: THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS WERE WORKING POORLY, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES. THEY ALSO MADE A THUMPING SOUND WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS OTHER THINGS BESIDES THE ABS SYSTEM. DEALERSHIP WANTED CONSUMER TO SPEND MONEY ON THE BRAKE PADS/ROTORS, AND CALIPERS FIRST AND THEN ON DEFECTIVE WHEEL BEARING. TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC, AND STATED THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM HE RECOMMENDED TO THE DEALER, BUT DEALER DID NOT WANT TO FIX THE ACTUAL PROBLEM.*AK THE VEHICLE HAD EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF RUST ON IT (FRAME, CALIPERS, ROTORS AND NON-BODY PARTS). THE CALIPERS WERE RUSTED AND LEAKING. THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND CORRODED AND THE BRAKE PADS WERE WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *NM
