| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Right brake sticks causing rotors and pads to heat up and catch on fire. the dealer replaced the pads and rotors and i had to pay for it. the problem still there. i have also read forums online where other owners have had the brake catch fire due to it catching. the mechanic at the dealer admitted that the caliper was not working right, but dealer refused to replace it. my dealer will not fix problem or ever look at the rotor that is already torn up and over heater again after only 2 days of driving. i don't know if anyone else has been injured or killed, but i am sure if this is not looked into someone will be soon. i am not the only owner that is having this problem. dealer tried to claim we drove with e-brake on. it was not on. vehicle pulled to the right as if it was a alignment problem. when i stopped there was smoke coming from the right rear brake. i have the rotors and pads to prove that the only one that was messed up is the right. it almost caught on fire. *nm |
