| Description of the problem | We purchased the vehicle in december 2013. In march my wife was driving and pulling into a commercial parking lot and the brake light went on and when she applied the brakes, the whole vehicle shook and made a loud noise. It was obvious that it was a brake issue because it only happened when she pushed the brakes. I test drove it later that night and the problem did not reoccur. I told her we would watch and see if it happened again. I was driving the vehicle today and the same problem occurred. Driving at about 20mph and turning into my neighborhood, the brake light came on and the brake pedal shook and the braking was about half as effective as usual. My wife does not feel comfortable driving the vehicle after this. |
