| Description of the problem | While driving in early rush hour traffic, another vehicle shifted lanes unexpectedly. While hitting the brakes, the vehicle "jostled" and shook and was failing to stop. After pumping the breaks i was able to regain control and barely (3-6 inches) avoid hitting anyone else. The mechanic just called to inform me that one caliper pin in the front right brakes, as well as one caliper pin in the rear left had completely froze up. This is the second time the front right has done so (first time on or around january 13, 2013). After researching this today, this is a huge safety issue with this make & model. |
