What owners wrote
G30, braking system malfunctioned, causing brake pads to wear out. Pads needed to be replaced 4 to 5 times which caused extended stopping distance, and could have resulted in a crash. Dealer was not willing to help, and could not determine the cause of the problem. Please provide further information. The vehicle rear ended someone due to brake failure, there were no injuries and the dealer is still refusing to work on the vehicle. *slc
