| Description of the problem | Front brakes failed twice within the first 15,000 miles . Caliper's froze up causing pads to stick, causing them to drag and over heat, causing rotors to crack and split. Problem was first fixed feb.,2010 at approx. 7500miles. Caliper rusts or corrodes when exposed to any moisture and freezes up/sticks.
