Consumer Description

WHEN I GO TO HIT THE BRAKES THE CAR WON'T STOP AND THE REAR END MAKES NOISE AND RAISES UP. THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ONE AS WELL AS MAINTENANCE REQUIRED AND SRS AIRBAG LIGHT. THE MASTER ALARM BUZZER IS ON AND WON'T GO OFF. BRAKES ENGAGED WITHOUT HITTING THE BRAKE CAUSES RIM TO OVERHEAT AND BRAKE FLUID GETS EXTREMELY HOT. ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN TAP ON THE BRAKES THEY WILL LOCK UP AND YOU WILL GO SLIDING SIDEWAYS OR TAP THE BRAKES AND THEY STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. ALSO THE BRAKE ACTUATOR STARTS WHINING NOISE AND WON'T GO OFF EVEN IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. DON'T HAVE DOCUMENTATION FROM A MECHANIC BUT CAN SEND VIDEO OF DRIVING IT. *TR
