What owners wrote
My break booster went out again for 3rd time with in a year and half I have taken to a place to get it fixed this is on safe.I was driving all 3 times when it went out. I was stopping at a light.
Cleaning out the trunk discovered no spare tire. Only sealant air compressor. How stupid. Was not informed by the dealer, who obviously knew they would lose a deal if customer informed. This is a big time scam and cover up. I can see real trouble if I have a blow out! Stupid!!!
