THE FRONT BRAKE EXHIBITS A VERY LONG FIRST PULL TO ENGAGE, SUBSEQUENT PULLS ARE SHORT BRIEFLY, THEN THE LONG PULL RETURNS AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THIS CAUSES THE FRONT BRAKE TO ENGAGE AT GREATLY VARYING LEVELS OF LEVER PULL AND EFFORT DURING A TYPICAL RIDE. THE BRAKE IS ALSO VERY SPONGY AND VAGUE. THE DEALER HAS MADE 5 ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WHICH INCLUDES SEVERAL BRAKE BLEEDS, REPLACEMENT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE CHANGE TO DIFFERENT TYPE OF BRAKE FLUID, ALL TO NO AVAIL.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
