| Description of the problem | Brakes went out one month after purchase from the dealership. Replacement cost $936 for which we received no help from the dealer even though we paid for extensive insurance on the vehicle. Had to replace the entire brake system and just one and a half years later we are forced to do the same thing again. If the brakes cannot support the weight of the vehicle the vehicle should be recalled before fatalities are caused by a faulty brake system. We did receive a letter stating we would be reimbursed for our payment of the brake system but since we had moved and i could not locate the receipt we were not reimbursed. |
