Consumer Description

DURING WET WEATHER, THE BRAKES GRAB. THIS USUALLY OCCURS DURING THE FIRST 10 MINS. OF DRIVING. BASED ON THE RECENT RECALLS, I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO DETERMINE IF OTHERS OWNERS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN THIS WAY SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR. *TR
