Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AROUND TOWN, COULD SMELL THE BRAKE PADS AS IF THE BRAKES WERE SEIZING. THE NEXT DAY, WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE BRAKES WERE SEIZING AGAIN AND WORE DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE THE HUB CAPS MELTED OFF THE CAR. THE FRONT TIRES WERE EXTREMELY HOT, THE BRAKES WERE MUSHY AND WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THERE WAS A BUFFETING SOUND AS IF THE BEARINGS WERE BURNED OUT. TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE ENTIRE FRONT END WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAS 15K MILES NOTE - WE TOW THIS VEHICLE BEHIND AN RV HOWEVER THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS NEVER MODIFIED OR TOUCHED!
