| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Brakes began making a loud vibrational whining or "winding down" sound whenever brakes were applied. sometimes the steering wheel would pull if the stop was abrupt. at first visit to dealer, problem was denied. four more subsequent visits resulted in replacement of pads, rotors, and even wheel hubs. last repair was at 19 or 20,000 miles; noise began to return as the vehicle odometer turned 22,000. dealer would not offer satisfaction; i sold the car, suspecting that this would be a recurring problem for the life of the car. i had safety concerns as well as the annoyance of repeated repairs. |
