Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought this car used with 32,000 mi. from the beginning brakes would not grab in the rain, the brake pedal was extremely hard. the dealer said nothing was wrong and that's the way this car is. i was told that i was not use to 4 wheel disc brakes. (i drive a 4 wheel disc car at work.) i insisted that something was wrong. dealer turned the front rotors which did not help. i installed high performance disc pads on all four wheels which helped a lot but only for about 20000 miles. the brakes use to when they got wet. this car is unsafe in wet weather! *ts ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis***762002
