Description of the problem | Brakes are bad, have been since we got it. They lock up when u hit the brakes. Something was wrong with it when i drove it on the lot. Something rattleing in the front end. They stopped the rattle but brakes are a huge issue. No matter how light you tap them they lock up. When they are wet it is undrivable. Also engine revs up for no reason and the engine kill thing does not work right. Its not instantaneous. Lots of lag before you can move.. We have been back to the dealer right after we bought it to try to trade it for another one but no luck. I should have walked away when it was making the noise when i moved it on the lot. Specially after the way we were treated by the guy who did the paperwork when we declined the extra warranty. If he hadnt been a vet i wouldve walked away. The dealer has records of repairs they tried to make. The brakes have been bad since we bought it and the rest has been going on for a coulpa months now. |
