Consumer Description

THE ORIGINAL REAR SLIDING GLASS WINDOW LEAKED AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY (LESS THAN 36000 MI.). THE REPLACEMENT WINDOW EVENTUALLY LEAKED TOO, SO IT WAS DEFECTIVE ALSO. THE FRONT BRAKE PADS WORE OUT AND SCORED THE ROTORS. THE REPAIR SHOP INDICATED THAT THEY COULD NOT TURN/REPAIR THE ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WERE UNDER SPECIFICATION. FURTHER INVESTIGATION INDICATED THAT THE REPLACEMENT ROTORS FOR THIS VEHICLE HAVE A DIFFERENT THICKNESS SPECIFICATION. THE ORIGINAL ROTORS ARE EITHER NOT THE CORRECT THICKNESS OR HAVE AN INCORRECT SPECIFICATION. THE BRAKES HAVE NEVER SEEMED TO PERFORM PROPERLY. BRAKES MUST BE APPLIED VERY HARD AND EVEN THEN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP VERY QUICKLY.*AK
