1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/03/2019

Starting January 2019, I had spent $5k of underbody replacement: bent/rusty axle-f, 2 f-tires; front brakes & shocks, rear rotors, brakes & shocks, front & rear arms. The rear right wheel was locked & I was driving that way with both of my young grandchildren 3 months after I had tires replaced. I kept being told by a friend & my son, �have you had your car fixed yet?� the suspension sucked; I felt every bump & pothole! the noise in the front to right took over a year to fix.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/23/2016

I have had a problem with anti-lock brakes. I could not control my vehicle; my steering wheel was shaking, front wheel felt like it was buckling and I could not control my vehicle; almost got into an accident. I have brought this to the attention of the dealer and he told me thats the way the brakes are; terrible he said. This was done when it snowed. I do not like anti-lock brakes because of that reason; I drove a chevy malibu and when I applied the brake pedal, it didn't do what my car did. Any suggestions would be helpful. I just won't be able to drive in the snow, that sucks!!!!! when I'm driving on the highway I hear a moaning underneath the vehicle, the dealer didn't hear anything; probable didn't take it out for a ride.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 11/16/2011

Squealing brakes from rear brakes started after 9,000 miles. Drove it to dealership and they stated it was not a major issue and was common. Several days later the problem continued to occur and took it to a different dealership and the issue was loud squealing when stopping. They inspected the brakes and could not resolve the problem and had no fix for it. My car now has 11,800 miles and the issue still has not changed. People can hear this from several feet away since it is not a quiet sound. It is getting to a point that if they cannot resolve the issue, I will get rid of the car.
