| Description of the problem | I took in for brakes after having it only 3 months. I almost got in accident because brakes failed. Amco told me it was the calibers and said it was a manufacturer defect because after changing pads, the caliber was stuck and would not close. He said vehicle was too knew for this type of problem. It had to be fixed because it was a safety issue so it was fixed for $900. Want to report as safety issue. Could have caused multi vehicle crash. |
