| Description of the problem | On jan 26 my husband was driving home and the road conditions were slippery. When he went to apply the brakes, he heard a loud pop and the brake went all the way down to the floor and would not come back up. Luckily this happened around the corner, but by the time the car made it into the driveway the brakes were smoking. I had to have the car towed to the mechanic. We had to replace the front brake pads, calipers and rotors. Also the brake switch oem had to replaced. When all said and done the total cost came to 729. 64. Can i tell you how disappointed i am in this vehicle?? This vehicle is only a 2012 my high beams don't work nor does the cruise control. I am starting to think this car is a real lemon!!! At this point i would like to know if the brake system has any recalls because my bill was extreme and should not have happened on a 2012. I do not have the vin number on me at this time. Very very disappointed and have nothing good to say about this car! |
