Consumer Description

AFTER SMELLING BRAKES DURING A 10 MILE TRIP TO LOCAL STORE I LOOKED AT REAR DRIVERS SIDE ROTOR TO SEE IT GLOWING CHERRY RED IN THE NIGHT. EXTREME HEAT WAS COMING FROM THE WHEEL WELL AND WHEEL CAMBER APPEARED TO BE AFFECTED FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT. WORKING ON TRYING TO GET IT IN FOR A WARRANTY CHECK, BUT TO ME THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A VEHICLE 2 YEARS OLD WITH 25K MILES. SOUNDS LIKE MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE CALIBER WHICH I COULD REPLACE MYSELF, BUT FROM WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE THIS IS A REPETITIVE ISSUE AND A HUGE MONEY PIT. *TR
