Consumer Description

THE REAR LEFT BRAKE CALIPER DID NOT RELEASE PROPERLY AFTER THE CAR WAS STARTED AND DRIVEN. THIS CAUSED THE BRAKES TO OVERHEAT WHILE DRIVING. I COULD MANUALLY RELEASE THE CALIPERS IN ORDER TO DRIVE, HOWEVER THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE CALIPER WAS REPLACED TWICE, AND ALTHOUGH IT NO LONGER LOCKS UP, IT STILL CAUSES SEVERE NOISE AND WEARING OF THE PADS AND DISK. REPLACEMENT CALIPERS HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. REPLACEMENT WORK WAS PERFORMED AT NON-DEALER REPAIR SHOPS.*AK
