| Description of the problem | Purchased used vehicle in march of 2013 at 32700 miles. 4 mos later at 43000 miles rear brakes began grinding severely. Took it to the dealer and they informed me the rear caliper got stuck/froze and the grinding damaged the rotor. Brake pad and rotor on rear driver side must be replaced and brake pad and rotor on passenger side needs resurfacing. Also esc light has been turning off and on and dealership claims there is no recall on the brake switch despite the nhtsa having the brake switch listed as defective and causing issues with the esc. |
