Description of the problem | Brakes stopped working . First time it happened i thought it was my imagination as i was in a parking lot going extremely slow. Next day it happened when backing out of my driveway. Had to press brakes extremely hard and it rolled to a stop as it hit curb on other side of road. Took it to dealer and they replace the vacuum booster which had failed at aprox. 50,000 miles. Not covered under warranty. Every other part of brakes besides normal wear and tear is covered. I was lucky it happened in my driveway and not while driving at higher speeds in traffic. I have additional complaints about this vehichle. The clips holding drivers seat had to be replaced at 40,000 miles because seat was sliding from side to side. They are all ready loose again at 60,000 miles although not as bad as first time. My ac condenser went out at 62,000 miles. It has been on national backorder for 7 weeks and i am still waiting. The car shakes on the interstate at aprox 70 -75 miles per hour. The dealership has balanced the tires and this has not fixed problem. After driving on interstate at high speeds for extended period of time, when stopping the car idles very rough and has even cut off. The dealership ran a fuel induction service. Will see if it works when i get it back after they replace ac condenser. The car shifts horribly, especially when going slow. Was told that is a problem with the fuel efficient shifting and there is no repair... Just to manually shift. Also, the hood of the car has tiny rust spots coming through the paint all over it. |
