Description of the problem	I bought this car new in july 2006 it had 200 miles on it when i drove it off the lot. A week after i purchased it the brakes were smoking on the drivers front side, i took it into the dealer they said i had driven over something and it was simply burning off (yeah right) a month later they brakes started grinding i took it in they resurfaced the rotors, about 3 months later the brakes were grinding again, they replaced the rotors, about 4 months later the brakes were squealing and grinding again and i took it in they said they could find nothing wrong with it yet when i left the dealership they brakes seemed fine. In december 07 the car began to shake and make a very loud thunderous noise at take off, i took it into the dealer and they said the "propeller" or otherwise drive shaft was a recall and needed to be replaced which did not happen until january 08 because they had to order the part. Now the brakes are bad again, and the dealer now wants to charge me over 300. 00 to fix them! Outrageous and totally unbelievable!
