Consumer Description

The brakes locked up and was red hot had to poor water on them, had our shop put new brake pads ,rotors ,new hoses on rotors and brake calibers on it. It got so hot it melted the hose .Not even 2 weeks later it has done it again. So shop started all over with new pads ,rotors,hoses ,calibers ,and Master cylindeda.Still didnt fix the issues. They said something is got to be wrong with the ibs . I have had it towed to the dealership in panama city Fl. were we can trade it in cause we are scared of it now But there should be a recall on this before someone gets hurt This is very dangerous and could make you lose control of the vehicle when it does this white driving.
