The consumer has experienced ongoing problems with the braking system, pulstating brakes, front rotor/grooved, squeaking/screaming noise, all having been diagnosed and being told on some occasions that they are fine. After the consumer had seen the passenger side front rotor, the mechanic had shown the comparison with the aftermarket rotor, the difference in quality was immediately apparent that the background is aerospace machining/manufacturing. After a replacement of the rotors, front brake pads, skim machine the rear brake drums/adjust the entire system, it was told to the consumer by the owner of the service station that there has been a recall on this rotor design, so the consumer decided to go ahead w/the work. The performance of the braking system has returned to the experience of when he bought the vehicle. The consumer is seeking reimbursement from the dealer.

On Aug 26 2000 I had front disc brake pads replaced and in checking the master cylinder it was discovered that the brake fluid was contaminated I brought the vehicle to the dealer mentioned and his service dept stated that this was done by someone who changed the oil dipped his finger inside with a little grease and contaminated the fluid it was also stated that the brake fluid contained algy also the brake fluid in the master cylinder was very low it seems that the service dept. Finds ways and excuses when the vehicle is under warranty not to fix the problem but instead offers excuses for the problem this problem can be a very dangerous situation on the interstate highways it is my opinion that this should be investigated as this may not be the only complaint of this kind as further information the brake fluid was almost black in color all mechanics I have spoken to say this is not a normal situation I am going to let them flush the system and refill it at the cost of $80. 00 to $100. 00 even though under extended warranty but this is a potentialy dangerous situation.

There is pulsation when braking this only happens on snow covered roads. Vehicle taken to dealer numerous time but they cannot remedy the problem. Nlm.

While driving vehicle about 20-25 mph the power steering completely went out and there was no braking ability. Driver was able to stop vehicle by putting gear in park. Power steering power was replaced.
