Description of the problem	All brake calipers are defective the piston seizes up causing the brakes to wear the pads off in a short time , overheating and seizing up the wheel. The most recent repair only had about 20,000 miles on the brakes i have replaced every caliper, rotor, and pads on all four wheels the most recent one was just two months ago, now i am back to the first wheel again. I have never had a car wear brakes like this several different mechanics at different garages. This is a definite design flaw and significant safety hazard. The ongoing repairs are costing me approximately 500. Per wheel every other year or so and precludes me from using the vehicle to tow, which is why i bought it. I am afraid to drive at highway speeds after a few months of brake replacement. The vehicle is always garaged in winter.
