SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
WE HAVE BEEN LEASING THE VEHICLE AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOUR TIMES BECAUSE OF GRINDING OF BRAKES, AND THREE TIMES THEY HAVE REPLACED THEM. THE LAST TIME THE BRAKES WORE OUT COMPLETLY, AND ONLY HAD THEM FIX THREE MONTHS PRIOR T THAT. WE FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO OUR LIVES AND OTHERS AND AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT THREE MONTHS BRINGING IT BACK FOR BRAKES ONLY 11500 MILES ON THEM, SOMETHING IS WRONG SOMEWHERE. *AK
