Consumer uses vehicle for everyday usages, and when the brakes get hot it is hard to stop vehicle. Sometimes consumer has to increase the distance to stop. Dealer has been notified, and has stated that they know of the problem. But, has not figured out a solution to fix vehicle. Dealer has fixed consumer's car numerous times. But, the repaires have been at best guess repaires. They also said that there has not been enough repairs to determine the cause of problem, and fix it.
