What owners wrote
Consumer stated rotors had uneven wear. The dealer insisted the wear was normal. There was an accident as a result of brake failure. One dealership stated the brake system locked which caused severe pressure on the rotors which caused them to break down.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 65 MPH, all of the dashboard lights illuminated then the vehicle would not move. The vehicle was towed to the dealership on a flatbed truck because the tires were locked up. The dealerships diagnostic test determined the transmission went out and needs to be replaced. Also, the brakes will not release while the brake pedal is depressed, this occurs every time, and causes the rims to get hot, causing three blowouts on the front end.
