| Description of the problem | I noticed about a 2wks after i purchased the car; i kept hearing what sounded like the brakes and informed the dealership of the problem. They informed me that because it was a new car that the brake dust had to settle. Anyway its been almost a year and i'm still having the same problem and now their say that alot of those type of cars are having the same problem and their looking into it. I request a recall, because they knew that those type of car had that problem all along. I purchased a brand new car. |
