What owners wrote
While driving in the rain and when brakes are applied they don't hold, as a result the driver had an accident, the dealer was contacted and stated that the extremely glazed brakes made it difficult for the vehicle to stop in rainy or wet condition, the vehicles VIN falls within the range for a service bulletin which references this problem but the dealer stated that this recall has nothing to do with his car. *nlm
Turn signal switch causes rear brake lights not to work. I didn't find out about it until a police officer pulled me over for the brake lights not coming on. I was let off with a warning. I did a search online and found that there is a lot of people with the same problem as me with the same model vehicle. This can cause a serious accident due to the fact that the people behind you on the road will not see that you are stopping.
