We have had this vehicle for less than 2 months--it has been in the shop for all this time except about 2.5 weeks. The rear brakes are grinding and it sounds like metal on metal. The vehicle jerks very bad when going from park to drive which I feel could cause an accident. The car has less than 15000 miles on it and I don't feel like these problems should be occuring at this time. Our car has been in the shop 4 times in less than 2 months.
