Had to go to hospital for surgery. Car wouldn't move the brakes were locked. Couldn't go forward or backwards. The back wheels would just slide. The brakes are still in good shape half the pad is left and when we got home from my surgery husband went out to check the problem and here the brakes just fell apart in pieces. We had to buy new brakes and put them on I can send the old brakes in they are the original brakes that where on the car when we bought it. I fear this could happen while someone is driving and could case a bad accident.

Rear brake shoes came apart and lodged in the drum, locking the steering wheel. The dealer replaced the rear brake shoes and left rear brake drum. They also resurfaced the right rear brake drum. The consumer request reimbursement for the repair because he feels this failure was not due to normal wear. (nar).
