The contact owns a 2006 Suzuki xl-7. Whenever the contact depressed the brake pedal, she heard a severe grinding sound coming from the front driver side of the vehicle. She took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the front brakes on both the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle. Approximately three months later, the failure recurred and her husband replaced the brake pads on the front of the vehicle only. Once again in March of 2008, the contact's husband had to repair the brake pads and turned the rotors on the front of the vehicle. The failure has recurred again; therefore, the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The dealer stated that she would need the rotor turned again and also new brake pads. No repairs have been made. Nhtsa campaign id number 05v452000 (service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:rotor) was referenced. The failure mileage was 16,480 and current mileage was 32,000.
When slowing down to turn , brakes would not work at all, had to pull the emergency brake to stop. My young son was in the car, this could have ended badly.
I was driving my children home and I heard a thudding in the engine like something was breaking. The air conditioner went hot instantly and I tried to change lanes to pull to a stop to look at it. When I stopped and tried to turn the corner, I found it very difficult to steer. I couldn't turn properly and was turning wide into the other lane because of this. My 4 wheel drive went into motion and now I have to click the button to be able to reverse or steer properly (so that I'm not on the 4 wheel drive setting) but the light for the 2 wheel drive blinks. My brake light and check engine light are on.
