What owners wrote
I notified the first incident to the dealer about its speed sensor, over the phone, which blew away just after the two weeks of buying this car from his showroom. Last month, the break went bad and were not covered under the warranty, I had to end up replacing the rotor and complete brake set, paying around $300 from my pocket, from a midas in pennsylvania.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the brakes failed without warning. The contact was able to depress the brake pedal all the way to the floor. It was coasted to a stop, and the emergency brake was applied. The vehicle was taken to a private repair shop, where all the steel brake lines were replaced due to the brake lines leaking because of extreme rust. Updated 12/12/06.
