 Description of the problemWhen i purchased the car on may 31st 2013 the brakes seemed mushy. When i took it in 3 months later to the dealer to have a tire fixed (nail) they said they checked but saw nothing so i assumed this was the way the brakes should be. A few times when i had to brake hard the whole car shuddered and again they said nothing was wrong. So here we are after 15 months later and i had the brakes checked again as they were squeaking a bit. My mechanic said they were ok, then a week later around oct. 9th the brakes began to scream metal on metal it sounded like to me. So i called the customer care people and asked about a warranty for the brakes and was told "oh yes lots of people have the same problem with that particular car, but it is not in the warranty." needless to say i was a bit upset and took it to my mechanic who replaced them ($335) and said that there was no spring to separate them and it was done in the factory so they seized up. I can't imagine what might have happened if this wasn't caught when it was and i consider this a huge safety problem. I don't know how you would go about warning people but i decided to make you aware of my experience.
