MY BRAKES HAS CONSISTANTLY HAD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. AFTER SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALERSHIPS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS, I WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. THE PROBLEM NOW IS THAT 22,000 MILES AND 1 YEAR LATER, I NEED NEW BRAKES. ALSO, THE CAR WAS RECALLED FOR WHEEL BOLTS AND NUTS. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT PROBLEM.

IT GOT SO BAD SHE THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THEY SAID THE NOISE WAS NORMAL.

SHE WAS NOT HURT BUT THE CAR WAS BADLY DAMAGED. AFTER THREE ESTIMATES WE TOOK IT TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP WITH A GOOD REPUTATION FOR QUALITY WORK. THE ACCIDENT WAS DUE TO THE LACK OF ADAQUATE BRAKES AT A STOP SIGN. AT A LITTLE OVER 20,000 MILES SHE BEGAN HAVING MORE SERIOUS BRAKE PROBLEMS. AGAIN SHE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD HER THE BRAKE PADS WERE BAD AND THE ROTORS NEEDED REPLACING. (AT 20,000 MILES) THEY OFFERED TO DO THE $400+ JOB FOR A 12% DISCOUNT SINCE THE JOB WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SHE TOOK IT TO A BRAKE SPECIALIST WHO DID THE JOB FOR ABOUT $200. ADD ALL THE BRAKE PROBLEMS AND THE PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER DOOR THAT LEAKED (THEY "FIXED IT" SEVERAL TIMES. IT STILL LEAKS.
