Consumer Description

BOTH FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS AND LEFT REAR CALIPER SEIZED CAUSING OVERHEATING TO THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM. IT ALSO CAUSED ROTOR DAMAGE,DISC DAMAGE AND BRAKE PAD DAMAGE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I AM NOT SURE IF IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING OR STATIONARY. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY PADS ONCE A YEA SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE AND I HAVE REPLACED THE HUBS DISCS AND ROTATERSTWICE. I AM PREPARING TO REPLACE ALL OF THESE COMPONENTS FOR THE THIRD TIME AND WILL ALSO REPLACE THE RUBBER BRAKE LINES. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THERE IS A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. IN MY OPINION IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE FROM THIS DEFECT.
