Comming to a stop car didnt slow down and when emergency lever was pulled for a stop it didnt work! Recall notice1217f NHTSA number17v393
I've had to replace back brakes twice in 4 years. Now calipers have gone out which ruined rotors and pads. It looks like others have had the same issue with calipers not working properly and wearing the brakes prematurely.
