| Description of the problem | Front brake caliper sticks and will turn rotor a very hot red color, which causes vehicle to shake violently and increases the time needed to stop the vehicle. Dealership has had the vehicle for over 2 weeks and says the only problem is the caliper needs to be replaced, which is covered under warranty. I believe it goes deeper than just replacing a caliper, which takes about half an hour. |
