Consumer Description

THERE WAS A MESSAGE THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED ATTENTION. I COULD FEEL SOMETHING INSIDE THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT AND THEY REPLACED MY BRAKES, BUT THE ISSUE KEPT HAPPENING. THEN ONE DAY, WHILE GOING 55 MILES AN HOUR, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT FULLY OPERATE. THE WHOLE DASH WENT RED AND IT CAME TO A SLOW STOP. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF ME. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAD A 10 YEAR RECALL OF THE SBC UNIT BUT I DON'T SEE THE RECALL ANYWHERE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE! *TR
