| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 3 days after purchase of vehicle the rotors were warped. brought vehicle back to dealer they pointed out the fact that there was already a recall on the brakes. the dealer installed the recall parts which consisted of new calipers, resurfacing the existing rotors, and various other axle related parts. the recall service did not include new pads. 3 or 4 days after the recall service the brakes were again warped!!! they stopped fine for just driving around town, but when you have to panic stop at freeway speed, they fade badly and then warp rotors. this complaint isn't about warped rotors as much as it is the brake fade at high speeds. very dangerous doesn't stop well at all. please consider a larger pad and better proportioning between the front and the back brakes.*ak |
