Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING WITH FAMILY ON HIGHWAY WHEN CAR STARTED TO FEEL WOBBLY AND I BEGAN SMELLING THE DISTINCT SMELL OF BURNING BRAKES. I PULLED OVER AT THE CLOSES STORE (.5 MILES) . I THEN NOTICED THE REAR, PASSENGER CALIPER WAS SMOKING. I LATER FOUND OUT (AFTER A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS AND HOURS OF LABOR) THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE REAR CALIPERS SIEZING... APPARENTLY THIS ISN'T CONSIDERED "SAFETY"?!?!. IF I WASN'T MECHANICALLY INCLINED I MAY HAVE KEPT DRIVING. MY SORT RIDE WAS ENOUGH TO HEAT UP AND LOOSEN 2 OF MY LUG NUTS. IF THAT ISN'T A SAFETY HAZARD THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.
