Brakes, allignment, drive shaft was bent...4th set of tires purchased in feb. 2013 gas tank & fuel pump needed replaced april 2013 caliper locked up causing fire, vehicle needed to be towed may 2013.
Purchased vehicle new in june of 2009. Front brakes gone and eating into rotors by 26,000 miles. Little over a year. 90% of driving is freeway driving. Very little stop and go. Replaced brakes and had rotors turned. Rotors warped and front and rear brakes gone again at 35,245 miles one year later. Replaced front rotors and all 4 sets of brakes. Front struts have gone out now as well. Definitely too much weight for vehicle brakes and suspension.
