Failure Date: 01/30/2008

The contact owns a 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara. The contact stated that the brakes made a grinding noise and the brake adjustment pin in the rear driver side wheel was loose. The spring that held the wheel in place failed, which allowed it to move freely inside the brake drum. The spring flipped up and caused the brake shoe, drum, and braking kit to fail.
