The contact stated on two occasions the brakes would not stop his vehicle. There was a pulsation when he applied the brakes. The first time the brakes failed the contact's vehicle hit a vehicle that stopped in front. The dealer examined the vehicle, and said there was no problem with the brakes. After the second incident he replaced the rotors. He found that a crack had formed on the old rotors. He believed the crack was the reason for the vehicle not stopping when the brakes were applied.

There is serious vibration in the front brakes. Every time the consumer applies the brakes the vehicle will shake and so will the steering wheel. Can hear a noise coming from the front brakes. Noticed this problem on August 1, 2003. Contacted the dealer, and had to change the calipers and the rotors. Have had the rotors replaced , then shaved them twice, and the dealer wanted to charge the consumer for repairs.
When attempting to accelerate (pressing gas pedal), vehicle will not speed up for several seconds, and then it abruptly lunges forward at an increased speed, posing a safety hazard. This has happened repeatedly starting within a couple of days of buying the car. This is particularly concerning when driving on an expressway ramp. Thus I have been avoiding driving on the expressway. Also, the brakes work abnormally. There was excessive vibration, jerkiness, and brake sensitivity. I took the car to the dealer within 5 days of purchase and subsequently returned it 4 more times. They only acknowledged that the rotors were warped and resurfaced them. Otherwise, they deny there is any other problem. They blamed the acceleration problem on the a/c being turned on. However, the problem persists regardless to whether the accessories are turned on or off or how high they are turned on.
While driving 55 mph there was vibration in front end. Vehicle slowed down on its own. Smoke was coming from front passenger's wheel. Dealer replaced front rotors and turned drums.
Left front rotor warped at 20,000 replaced, right front warped at 12,000 replaced befor brakes.
