Consumer Description

LEFT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER LOCKED UP ON DISC WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'V EXPERIENCED THIS WITH THIS BRAKE SYSTEM. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN 10/98 WITH ONLY 1825 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME, THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER LOCKED UP ON THE DISC, BURNING OUT THE PADS, DESTROYING THE DISC AND CALIPER. THE CALIPERS SHOULD NOT BE LOCKING UP LIKE THIS! ON THE CURRENT FAILURE OF THE LEFT CALIPER, THE BRAKES HAD BEEN CHECKED JUST THAT WEEK, AND THE CALIPER SLIDE RAILS CHECKED AND LUBED, WHICH SHOULD HAVE PREVENTEED THE LOCKUP. THERE'S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM (IT'S ANTI-LOCK) TO BE EXPERIENCING THESE FAILURES ON A CAREFULLY MAINTAINED, EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE.*AK
