CarComplaints.com Notes: This is a classic example of why you should avoid the first model year of a new car. Sure, it's new and shiny but there's going to be some growing pains.
originally complained about a weird noise in front end 2nd year of ownership..told it was nothing. and numerous "please check everything in the front end..tires,anything..please"3 dealers later I am told the brakes are gone totally..this car is driven in a town with only hiways..1 stop light and no stop signs or hills..and only 250 people..so to say the least brakes not applied very often..car still makes this weird noise..love the style of this vehicle and the convenience of the size ..hate sinking money into,kripes the tread hasn't worn at all on the tires ..but it needs all new brakes and rotors!!!
I purchased the lifetime brakes at the dealership. Every since I did my brakes have squeaked and squealed at every stop. They charged me and come to find out they never did the work. They fired the tech, supposedly gave me new rotors and brakes but they still squeak. I never had this issue until I bought the lifetime pads.
The rotors should have lasted longer.I had a bad shake in the brake pedal and steering wheel when the the brakes where applied.I had the rotors turned put on new pads and its was worse.I replaced the rotors.
