SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
TWICE DURING OUR OWNERSHIP THE FRONT BRAKE PADS HAVE CRUMBLED AND COMPLETELY FAILED EARLY IN THEIR USEFUL LIVES CAUSING THE ROTORS TO BE BADLY ROUTED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE DEALER HID THE FACT THAT THE PADS FAILED COMPLETELY AND STUCK US FOR THE ENTIRE BRAKE JOB, THE SECOND TIME I WALKED IN UNANNOUNCED TO THE REPAIR AREA AND SAW THE EVIDENCE FIRST HAND. BOTTOM LINE, IF WE HAD BEEN DRIVING AT SPEED EITHER TIME LIVES COULD HAVE BEEN LOST. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.*AK
