Consumer Description

BOUGHT USED WITH 46K MILES ON IT. BRAKES HAVE BEEN WEAK EVER SINCE I GOT IT. HAS NEVER CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT SURE HAS HAD ME WORRIED ABOUT GETTING STOPPED NUMEROUS TIMES. DEALERS BLOW ME OFF WHEN I ASK ABOUT FIXING IT. MAYBE PREMIUM PADS? I THINK IT'S THE HYDRAULICS THAT ARE WEAK, DON'T KNOW IF PADS WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THIS IS STRAIGHT STOPS FROM ALL SPEEDS.
