| Description of the problem | 1. My car has only 30000 miles and yesterday brake malfunction showed up. My wife had hard time stopping this vehicle. 2. Since i am reporting brake issue. It is important to share our speed gage is counting 2 -3 miles/hour higher than actual speed. We had a kind of sense for this. Now i purchased a very high efficacy gps. Which confirmed. When ever we are passing by speed detector on any given street. My speed meter is 2 -3 miles higher as compared shows on speeding detector on street . I do not want to pay to the dealer but i wanted to report for sure. |
