The brake caliper leaked and lost brake fluid. I refilled and never lost braking. Had caliper replaced. This was not discovered during routine replacement of rear brake pads.
When traveling 35mph on highway consumer applied brakes, and they hesitated/ and shook and and vibrated. Also, brakes pulsate, and wandered off to the right. Dealership has replaced brakes twice within two weeks later.
The front rotors on this car have been turned twice (8/98 & 6/9/99) and need to be turned or replaced again (9/2000). The rear rotors were turned on 2/28/2000. I feel that having rotors turned once a year is unacceptable and have never had to have brake work done that often on any other vehicle that I have owned. I am concerned that this is indicative of a safety issue regarding the brakes. Dealership personnel have been less than helpful regarding my concerns.

ABS brake failure. In addition, premature wear of brake pads/rotors, causing brakes to pulsate upon application. Also radiator is leaking brown fluid due to rust.
Front brake calipers/pads and rotors malfunctioned. In addition, vehicle idling rough and backfiring. Dealer replaced computer/coil and spark plugs and crancase sensor. Did not solveproblem.
