Description of the problem | Brake system failure. Had to have the brakes rebuilt. Brake problem indicator light kept coming on. Took the vehicle in for check and was told that it was just a problem with the computer. Brakes gave out one month after the warranty expired. Took the vehicle to an independent (certified) shop and was told the brake system needed to be completely rebuilt and that the brake warning system appeared to have been compromised, rendering it useless. Also experienced problem with the tire inflation indicator (dealership fixed this problem and stated it was a computer malfunction) and shorts in the electrical system that caused problems with the horn turn signals, lights, and alarm system. Dealership did a repair on the electrical system. |
