Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE BRAKE FAILURES. BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 36K, THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES TWO TIMES. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE PADS REPLACED AND/OR ROTORS TURNED AT LEAST THREE TIMES MORE. NOW, ONLY 2K MILES AFTER THE LAST ROTOR REPLACEMENT, THE BRAKES ARE FAILING AGAIN - I.E., THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, PARTICULARLY FROM SPEEDS GREATER THAN 45 MPH. *AK
