Before consumer purchased the vehicle, the rotors and pads had been replaced. Consuemr received a recall notice regarding the rotors and pads and had them replaced again per recall standards. In June of 2001, consumer noticed a pulsing in the brakes. The brakes were worn, the rotors were replaced and the pads changed. In September of 2002, there was a heavy pulsing and a grinding noise during braking. Consumer was told the pads were completely worn away and metal was grinding against metal.
Consumer states his brake pads separated from the metal backing causiing rotor damage-which caused the auto to pull to the side each time he applied his brakes.
Rear brake/ front and rear brake pads, and the emergency parking brakes disintegrated which caused extended stopping distance which may resultin a crash. Common problem. Please provide further information.
Poor design of brake pads / rotors failed. The front brake rotors warped and were replaced by dealer at 10,000 miles. However all repairs were done under warranty but the rotors have now warped again at 22,000 miles, dealer will not make repairs.
Front brake pad failure caused the vehicle to shake and pull. Yh.
Brakes squeak whenever they are applied. Vehicle has had new pads put on the front and lubricated the rear. This condition still unresolved.
Brake rotors and pads failed.
Brake pads failed.
When applying brakes vehicle will shake violently. Brake pads are not wearning out, but rotors keep failing. Rotors have been replaced 4 times ,defect keeps reoccurring.
I have never had brake problems with any other vehicle. This problem started out with only 11000 miles and a clicking noise when brakes were engaged. The pads and rotors were replaced. Then again at around 18,000 miles the pads were woren, and rotors replaced again, I believe. I can not find the receipt for that visit. Then at 25,000 miles pad were again put on and rotors turned. At 28,000 rotors vibrate and new ones put on. Now at 33,000 miles they are again vibrating. There is definitely a defect in this mechanism and it needs to be addressed.
Brake pads and rotors failed intermittently. Nlm.
Braking system malfunctioned which may caus eextende dstopping distance. Also, brake rotors warped. However, this had not affected the brake pads. Delaer replaced front rotors twice every 20,000 miles. Please provide further information.
