The recall repair did not resolve the issue. It contiunes to be an intermittent problem and my lead to injury or even a death.

Brake pad failure was premature due to the added brake force that was necessary to stop the vehicle. The brake pad rivets were scraping the rotors. The consumer needed to use extra force to apply the brakes. The consumer requested a rebate for the amount of repair. The consumer received a recall letter in the mail regarding the issue. Recall #03V474000.
