New brakes installed from dealer prior to purchase of this used car in may of 2008. In sept 2008, (about 5k miles later) unable to stop vehicle at 45 mph - hit guardrail causing neck injury and property damage. Was determined by bodyshop that brakes failed due to leaking rear compressor, which soaked brake pads. Completely replaced rear components at time of accident repair n oct 2008. Have only driven about 20,000 miles since then . . . In June 2010, same situation occurred with rear compressors leaking, resulting in no brake fluid whatsoever. Entire front and rear brakes and complete rear brake components/system have just been replaced June 2010.
