What owners wrote
Driving down a street in my neighborhood when the brakes failed. In previous occurrences I was told that the calipers froze up and that the brakes would make a grinding noise. Also the computer system on the vehicle would never record the proper amount of fuel in the tank or at times engage the brakes. I am not a professional but I know this vehicle did have issues. The vehicle was in motion on a city street and when I applied the brakes nothing happened.
Dash lights go out at a fill tank of gas and when the vehicle is warmed up and some times. Stay off for a long time vehicle stay running and goes down the road .
