Braking system problems....brakes have been replaced front and rear 4 times in less than 2 yrs...blown wheel cylinder drivers rear 2 X....springs rusted drivers rear 4 times.... rotors and drums replaced twice, pad and/or shoes replaced 4 times.
Front brake rotors corrosion, inboard side rough, pitted. Also outboard sides corroded. Dealer serviced brakes at 15000 miles, stated calipers not floating in caliper supports. Supposedly freed caliper. Condition returned at 20000 miles. Brakes have been locking up over night, vehicle wont roll in morning untill brakes release with loud noise. Brake action seems bifferent at times, sometimes brakes seem "touchy" other times brake effort seems excessive as if booster not operating properly. Poor brake response, takes longer to stop. Brake pads do not seem to be contacting rotors evenly across rotor swept area. Outer edge of rotors rusty, inner areas shiny. Inboard side of rotors very rough & pitted. Vehicle driven daily & garaged inside most nights.
When brakes heat up they pull severly left...have had it checked 4 times...replaced pads 3 times...checked rotors calipers...no fix yet...also driveshaft clunk noise after changing gear and accelerating...replaced driveshaft once no fix...now they say there is currently no fix.
