The brakes are a constant repair they never worked and constantly need replacement the dealer "fixed" the brakes but shortly after -the ABS light came on and they won't honor the braked job because they entered in the wrong date of repair date. The cooling system is always needed for these cars. Mine has been sitting for months now with the brakes out and the cooling system leaking with an expensive repair of 500.00 -some metal tube leaks -they have to take the entire car apart to fix it !
