The car was a 2000 Hyundai Elantra. The vehicle identification number (VIN) of the car was KMHJF35F0Y_. Car continues to overheat. This is the fourth time it has happened; sometime the problem can not be duplicated and I am sent on my way even though it has happen before. The cylinder heads, water pump, thermostat, sensor and many others are only a few of the things that have been replaced on this problem. The car shuts-off without warning, and drives like a desiel engine (rough), you almost have to floor it to make the car stop and the dealer says it is normal; even though I hit another car going about 5mph because the car jerked foward and smashed my hood (I hit a Ford:excrussion so he had no damage) and the transmission does not shift correctly. Sure the dealer ship tries to fix the problem but there have been times I have been out of my car for a long as 7 to 8 weeks and many times there don't even know whats wrong. I have tried to contact rick case the dearlership owner and I never reiceve a call or email. The failure date was Jun. 14, 2004.

Air Brake Disc Rotor problem of Infiniti G35
The vehicle having this issue was a 2003 Infiniti G35. The vehicle's vehicle identification number (VIN) is JNKCV51E23_. I took in the car for an oil change and service for recalls and the service dept. Notified me that the front brake pads on both sides were almost completely worn out and the rotors would need resurfacing. I purchased the car from the same dealer in April 2002 and the car was built in March 2002. The car presently has 17. 5k miles on it. It is ridiculous, even with performance brakes, for them to fail at such a low mileage. My previous car that I traded in to this dealer was a 1998 320 hp pontiac t/a with an even greater weight and power than this car, and the brakes lasted 40k miles. I believe the brakes Infiniti uses in the G35 should be replaced for free for the duration of the warranty since this is unacceptable. Also, make sure your dealer puts something in writing that they will replace the rotors once they are serviced beyond repair. Don't let the Infiniti service dept. Fool you into thinking the pads should only last 10-20 miles because they are performance brakes. Complain enough and they may issue a recall. This air brake disc rotor issue occurred Friday, September 12, 2003.

Air Brake Disc Rotor problem of Jeep Liberty
Bought the 2003 Jeep Liberty brand new in may, 2003. Now a year and seven months later, we still have squealing brakes. The dealer in wichita has replaced the pads 2 or 3 times, and re-surfaced the pads once or twice. They've now decided that they will need to replace the back brakes, including the roters. These parts have been ordered, and we are waiting to have this work done. Additionally, the automatic transmission started downshifting hard from 3rd gear to second gear, and down to first gear. They replaced some parts in the transmission, and this problem appears to be fixed. We'll see! they blamed the rusting brakes to "humidity". . . The car now has only 7,200 miles on it, and has been kept inside the garage every night of it's existence. The dealer claims that all the squealing and rusting of the brakes are due to the "humidity" in the air. We live in the exact middle of the us in kansas. There's not a lot of moisture in the air inside of my attached garage. This brake problem has been ongoing from mid 2003 to the present time in December of 2004. The car only has a little over 7000 miles on it. . . The dealer said that "the problems might go down if we would drive the car more often. " we would not recommend a Jeep Liberty to anyone we like. The failure date was 06/10/2003.

Air Brake Disc Rotor problem of Land Rover Freelander
The VIN of the problem Freelander is SALNY22244_. In mid-October 2004, I bought a new Land Rover Freelander from the jim coleman of frederick, MD dealership. The vehicle has had massive electrical issues. Since November of '04, the "hill descent" light (the lr manual suggests this means a major problem), srs (airbag) and the check engine light come on several times. Car has left me stranded twice before 2 months old. When we went to get the car for pick up, the car was dead. Other recurring problems include:
not accelerating properly for highway entry/intersections/left turns. Sluggish, hesitant, lunging forward, very slow pick up. A nauseating burning smell continues to come through the vents into the car and surrounds the hood area when vehicle is running or shortly after turn off. Brakes are shuddering and brake pedal pushes back on my foot when stopping fast. I parked and turned off vehicle. Came back to vehicle an hour later with the ac fans blowing on high. Car was off. No key in ignition. Mechanic and I witnessed the rear gate window drop without the car being on and the key out of the ignition. This happens regularly. Air conditioner spits through vents. Water pouring out vents when going around curves. Significant amount of ac-related water on floor. A/c broke completely. No cold air, only fans. A/c light would not come on. Air would come out, only hot air. Fans stopped working. Front and rear windows completely fogged up on trip to mississippi. Had to use towels to wipe windows down. Drastically cut visibility as windows fogged up. Forced to leave windows down in thunder storms. Drivers side wind shield wiper is dragging at the bottom creating a smeared effect. It was 11/15/2004 when this air brake disc rotor issue happened.

Air Brake Disc Rotor problem of Lexus ES300
The vehicle involved was a 2002 Lexus Es300. During the initial warranty 50k miles, the dealership has resurfaced and replaced the rotors 4 times on my 2002 ES 300 Lexus and now the rotors are warped for the fifth time. The problem is when braking, there is a very noticable vibration in the wheels, which if not repaired could cause a major accident and cause injury and even be fatal to me or others. When I brought this to the attention of Lexus customer satisfaction, they responded with, they would replace the rotors free of charge, but I would have to pay for replacing brake pads and labor, $300. They said the problem is attributed to my braking practices, driving in the city and the mileage on my vehicle. I do not believe one word of that, something other than the way I brake (which is no different than a million other drivers) is causing this problem. I believe either they haven't been replacing the rotors as they stated or something is causing the rotors to warp, which could be a defect. At 67,533 miles, which is when I last took my vehicle in for the fifth time for vibrating, I would be servicing the rotors on an average of every 13,506 miles. This has nothing to do with my braking practices. This is also a safety hazard for other drivers and myself. I don't want them to just repair the symptom I want the cause to be repaired. I was told before I complained, that the repair would cost between $600 and $700. Can you imagine how much this would cost me for rotors for the life of this vehicle! after I received Lexus's decision from mr. Dan reynolds, I asked him for the name of the person next in line for me to appeal this decision. He told me he was it. There was no one else to appeal to. He said he had offered me a good will effort, and nothing else would be done. Please investigate the history of the 2002 Es300 and see how many vehicles have needed resurfaced/replaced rotors 5 times at 67,533 miles. I appreciate your attention given to my situation. Thank you. This problem occurred on Tue., May. 3, 2005.

Air Brake Disc Rotor problem of Lexus ES300
The car involved was a 1999 Lexus Es300. My brakes constantly squeaks. This has been an on-going problem for the last several months. The manufacturer had a factory person come check my brakes last month on 12/12/02 and didn't detect a problem. My brakes are squeaking and I feel there is a problem. I had their loaner same model and different year-the
brakes didn't squeak at all. I would like to get to the bottom of this problem. Can this be a possible defect or malfunction. Is it safe my car to squeak constantly whenever I step on the brakes in any kind of weather. This air brake disc rotor problem happened on 09/01/02.

Air Brake Disc Rotor problem of Lincoln Town Car
The vehicle having this issue was a 1997 Lincoln Town Car. The vehicle's vehicle identification number (VIN) was 1LNLM81W0V_. The braking system has given problems for approximately the last 1000 miles or so. I have had the vehicle in for repair 3 times, and have complained to the service personnel that I have to stand on the pedal to stop. When the brakes are used for a while they tend to not stop the car, but rather let the car glide to a stop, and thus make it difficult to know how much distance to leave between myself and other vehicles, and pedestrians. I have come close on at least 5 occassions to either hitting other cars or pedestrians. The service personnel first said they replaced the brake pads, and that the rotors were warped. I then took it in again, and they replaced an abs sensor, next time they said they could not find a problem. The problem is intermittent, and thus unpredictable, and potentially life threatening. The service technicians find problems part of the time, and at others they don't. The pedal will push completely upward at times, and in essence the vehicle coasts to a stop, and is dangerous. This air brake disc rotor issue occurred 10/27/98.

Air Brake Disc Rotor problem of Mazda Tribute
The vehicle having this issue was a 2001 Mazda Tribute. The VIN of the problem Tribute is 4F2YU08181_. I have had to have my brakes and rotors replaced twice since I've owned this car. The first time was at about 20,000 miles and the last time was at about 40,000 miles. Both times it was under warranty, however now this vechicle is out of warranty and I fear that this is going to be a reoccuring problem. Not to mention that in between the times the brakes were replaced the vechicle was taken to the dealer numerous times for brake squels when stopping. Even after the rotor and brakes were replaced, this noise it still present. I plan on selling this car at this point and cutting my losses, however now today a recall has come out for a stalling problem. Once this is fixed this car will be sold to anyone willing to buy this bag of bolts. The failure date was Wednesday, January 15, 2003.

Air Brake Disc Rotor problem of Nissan Xterra
The vehicle having this issue was a 2002 Nissan Xterra. On 09/10/03, while driving at a slow rate of speed my vehicle experienced total braking failure with loss of all pressure in the brake pedal. Fortunately, this did not result in a collision. The vehicle was towed to tamaroff Nissan where analysis was performed and the following explanation offered: I was told that through normal wear on the brake pads the metal-to-metal contact created excessive heat causing the calipers to seize the rotor creating damage to both the rotor and calibers resulting in a major loss of function. An estimate of repairs of greater than $940. 00 was provided. I am questioning this explanation and am requesting formal investigation not only due to the expensive repair, but the potential for major safety implications if this is in fact a part of normal wear at 25,000 miles. I am requesting that this situation be investigated under the ongoing NHTSA investigation of Nissan xtera rotor failure action number dp03-005 opened 07/11/03. I find the explanation difficult to accept in as much as the event occurred after driving only approximately 1,000 feet on the property of william beaumont hospital. It is implausible that excessive heat could have caused the seizure of the

brake calibers on the rotor. On at least two occasions the vehicle was serviced at the same dealership when complaints of a noise from the left front wheel while turning to the right were addressed.

Air Brake Disc Rotor problem of Saturn SL2
The vehicle involved was a 1999 Saturn Sl2. The vehicle identification number (VIN) of this Saturn Sl2 is 1G8ZK5276X_. In 2003 my daughter bought a 1999 Saturn with 47000 miles that had just been turned in from a lease from a dealer and it started smoking and using a quart of oil per 1,000at which time we contacted this agency and gm because the car was alaways dealer serviced and had not yet reached it's half life. Saturn told us that this was normal howver, the condition has only worsed over time and it's now using 1. 5 qt's per 1000 miles and smoking worse. I bet the epa would like to know that. Additionally the rotor have failed twice becoming warped and the motor mount has failed along with a coolent temp sensor. Many people have reported these same problems and gm knows it. Once again we asked them for some goodwill and they turned us down saying that the car (now) has too many miles even tho they said that it would be documented but it appears that they have strung us along doing leak down test at our cost from 2003 and from our gov complaint until now while telling us that this was normal use. . . . . . . . . . . . That was wrong and they should face a recall because they have allowed a problematic engine which they knew about to be sold to the general public and then they refused to help the consumers in need. I'll never buy a Saturn or a gm again. And, I plan to sell my sons new Saturn too after this poor treatment. This issue happened on Wednesday, March 3, 2004.

The vehicle involved is a 2003 Volkswagen Passat. The vehicle identification number (VIN) of this Volkswagen Passat is WVWVD63B43_. At 35005 miles I was told by vw that I needed rear brakes pads and rotors so I had them installed at 35005 miles. Last week with the car at 52275 mile I was again told by vw that my rear brake pads and rotors need to be replaced. I find that 17270 miles is very quick wear for brakes. Vw brake pads and rotors should not have to be replaced every 18,000 miles and if they due then there is a design problem. This issue happened on May. 5, 2005.

Air Brake Disc Rotor problem of Volkswagen Passat
The car involved is a 2002 Volkswagen Passat. The VIN of this vehicle is WVWVD63B32_. Recurrent brake failures. At 10,000 miles, brake life was measured at 12 mm front and 8 mm rear, but then at about 20,000 miles, dealer determined that vehicle needed brake pads all around and rear discs. At 40,000, rear brake pads were replaced. This time dealer found that the rear driver side calipher had stuck, causing the brake pad to wear down to metal on that one side. A large percentage of mileage on the vehicle is highway miles, and driver does not ride the brakes. Owner believes vw tried to hide an inherent brake design problem by replacing all 4 brake pads at 20,000 miles. Vehicle had to be towed to dealer one time due to brake fault & brake fluid warning lights. This air brake disc rotor problem happened on Monday, November 10, 2003.

The VIN of the problem V70 is YV1LW5543W_. We learned this week that our Volvo V70 has a design defect - in that the brake rotors become warped after a short period of usage. The service representative at the authorized Volvo dealer where we purchased the car, informed us of this. We have had to have the rotors replaced twice, in less than a year, first in December 1998 and now again in October 1999. The mechanics tell us that the rotors should usually last the life of the car. According to the service representative the rotors are not suitable for the weight of the car in the V70 and 840 series. He indicated that he had contacted the manufacturer and that Volvo considers the need for replacement this often, as simple wear and tear. Another customer present at the same time also stated she had problems and that most recently in her had been totaled in an accident when the brakes failed. The service representative stated that they have had many customer complaints but that Volvo in unresponsive. We are concerned because we purchased a Volvo for its safety reputation. We have a four year daughter we transport in the car, and we are afraid of what could happen. Not only would an accident harm us, but others on the road. Please advise what action we should take. This air brake disc rotor problem happened on Dec. 18, 1998.

Air Brake Disc Rotor problem of Audi A6
The car involved was a 1998 Audi A6. The vehicle's vehicle identification number (VIN) is WAUBA24B2W_. Complaint 1) heated steering wheel would burn hands in selected locatios before turning off. Dealer indicated to me they were aware of this and if I wanted it fixed would have to purchase a new steering wheel as my car was out of warranty. I feel this is a safety issue that should be handled by Audi with replacement. Complaint 2) rear brake pads replaced three times on car with 50,000 miles. This does not make sense as front brakes take most of wear. At my last repair on 9/22/03, it cost me $418 dollars to replace rear pads and rotors. It appears something may be of bad design with replacement 3 times in 50,000 miles for rear brakes. Front replaced only once and not due to wear, but heat spotting creating noise. This issue happened on Sep. 22, 2003.
