Consumer Description

AFTER JUST LESS THAN 3,500 MILES, THE MASTER BRAKE FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON DURING A NORMAL DRIVE. QUICKLY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO GARAGE. FOLLOWED OWNER'S MANUAL GUIDELINES, CHECKED BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND CONTACTED THE DEALER. DEALER INDICATED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, NO NEED TO BRING IN FOR INSPECTION IF THERE IS STILL BRAKING. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN WITH THE BRAKE FAILURE LIGHT, AND IF THE BRAKES DO FAIL, THIS WOULD RESULT IN A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. OVER THE PHONE THEY INDICATED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE; IF SO THEN POLARIS SHOULD FIXED IT QUICKLY, AS TO THE SEVERITY IF THE BRAKES DO FAIL.
