1 Brake Drum Wheel Cylinder problem

Failure Date: 08/14/2026

I have owned this vehicle since 2011 and began having issues with passenger airbag light coming on intermittently or sometimes staying on during trip whether a passenger was in the seat or not. Had to install a new motor in 2025 due to antifreeze overflowing into engine components apparently after overheating even though gauge on dash never indicated issue. Squeeking sound when putting vehicle into reverse, cert mechanic installed front pads and rotors and rear brake pads and left rear brake caliper for a total cost of $620. Traveled to kc (appx 100 miles) one day later and vehicle began losing acceleration, stuttered and seeemed to surge intermitently then rear brake began locking up and smoking excessively before illuminating a check engine light. Draggin/locking rear brake broke loose on drive back home but still had check engine light. Took back to mechanic who diagnosed rapid misfire on cylinder no. 1 but was not able to trace cause. Recommended taking to dealership for diagnostic at a cost of $150 per hour. All 3 issues I am reporting are apparently pervasive with this vehicle as I have read numerous documented complaints from customers having the same or similar issues. However, NHTSA website indicates that there are no recalls associated with my vehicle. This is unacceptable!!.
