What owners wrote
Driving in winter weather conditions, had vehicle in cruise control on interstate going about 40 MPH, not 45 MPH, cars ahead were braking due to gusty winds and decreased visibility (blowing snow). Proceeded to brake to slow down, while in cruise control mode, brakes did not work as they normally due and vehicle hit a side rail on the driver's side, causing loss of control of vehicle momentarily.
Replaced front rotors,18,000,26,000 miles. Needs to be replaced again at 30,000 miles. Both brake lights have been replaced. Replaced rear drive shaft and installed shielded wire from TCM to transmission sensor.
