Brakes have never worked properly. Replaced twice and rotors have been turned once. Spouse noticed that the front or rear brakes did not show any wear.-we also have had a probelm with the battery that I think was caused by the electrical system.

While driving vehicle would start to shake when brakes were applied. Took vehicle to dealership & mechanic indicated that brakes were warped & needed to be replaced. After having rotors replaced, problem has reappeared again.

Had problems with car since beginning. Accelerates on its own and lunges forward when stopping. Also the brakes failed, causing an accident. Rotors have warped on numerous occasions. Dealer contacted 10-15 times with no problem found. Car is a major safety hazard.

Brake rotors are warped, causing heavy steering wheel vibration. Dealer resurfaced rotors once under warranty. Brake rotors warped again after 3 months. Brake rotors now must be replaced after only one year.
