1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2011

I started to hear a grinding sound from the rear when applying brakes. With only 40 k on car the front brakes should show signs of wear first. The rear brakes have totally worn out first and grinding metal to metal, ruining the rear rotors.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/13/2008

On June 13, 2008 I was traveling west bound on a typical south florida day, very hot and humid clear day. Just then a pick-up truck put out very fast in front of me. I slammed on my brakes with plenty of time to stop, but just before I came to a complete stop, the engine roared and I hit the truck very hard. At first I thought my foot slipped off the brake to the gas, but no way, I broke my foot because I hit the brake so hard. My question is this,is there a known problem with this newcar?.
