What owners wrote
As my friend who borrowed my vehicle approached an intersection in ann arbor, michigan, the brakes completely failed, causing her to collide into a vehicle which consequently hit another vehicle. The police report correctly indicates no operator fault, but rather a faulty brake line which burst, leaving a pool of brake fluid on the ground at the scene of the accident. Most vehicles have a braking system that makes it impossible for both front and rear brakes to fail simultaneously.
Vehicle shimmied when the brakes were applied. Dealer resurfaced the front and rear rotors. Four months later, the problem recurred. Every 14,000 miles the dealer was replacing the rotors.
