| Description of the problem | The brakes have to be changed at least 3-4 times a year, and rotors had to be changed because they were about a 1/2 in. Gone. Steering wheel began to shake every time i had to brake. Brakes never stop squeaking. Finally had to put new calipers in about a week ago i finally thought my brakes would be working fine again. Worked good for one day, squeaking came back every time i brake, still hear scrapping noise from the brakes. One problem after another with this car. When it rains from front window leaks into the glasses holder since i purchased the car. Yesterday the passenger sliding door has a hook at the back of the door when it closes it hooks to it also, the piece fell into the door now the door does not close right. The sensor thinks the door is open so now the bottom lights stay on. This was the worse purchase i may have done. Since i bought the car its been problems know wonder they only gave a 3 year warranty on it. Sometimes i put my car in drive and it fails to take off, so i have to put turn it off wait a few seconds then try it again. So what is next to fail? Even the back panel that covers the lights near the license plate fell off. My biggest problem i worry about is the brakes because i have 5 kids i really think this is a defect on this car and from what i read i am not alone on the brake issue. I really think they have to do something about the brakes. |
