Consumer Description

SEATS->DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SEATS (LEATHER) CRACKED IN LESS THAN THREE YEARS. EXPECTED MORE FOR THE PRICE OF THIS OPTION. HAVE HAD BRAKES REPLACED 1 - 1 1/2 MONTHS PRIOR TO FAILURE. I WAS OUT IN THE BACK COUNTRY, 40 MILES FROM PAVED ROADS, WHEN I HEARD THE ROTORS BEING TORN UP BY WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE BRAKE PADS. IT RUINED BOTH ROTORS. I WAS TOLD AT AN INDEPENDANT SHOP THAT THE CALIPERS FAILED. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR INSISTED THAT THE CALIPERS DIDN'T FAIL . IT WAS JUST CHEAP BRAKE PADS. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT WASN'T THE CASE. *AK
