What owners wrote
2 accidents due to brakes not working. Stepping on brakes, pumping brakes and the vehicle continues to accelerate. 1 accident occurred during a blizzard and the second one occurred in the rain. I believe there is a defect in the master cylinder.
Consumer states: all the time there was a constant clanking noise. Brakes caused a problem. Screeching sound when pushing on the brakes, and when stopping made a sound like a truck. Took to dealer twice they said nothing was wrong.
