In June of 2001, consumer noticed a pulsing in the brakes. The brakes were worn, the rotors were replaced and the pads changed. In September of 2002, there was a heavy pulsing and a grinding noise during braking. Consumer was told the pads were completely worn away and metal was grinding against metal.
Rear brake/ front and rear brake pads, and the emergency parking brakes disintegrated which caused extended stopping distance which may resultin a crash. Common problem.
Poor design of brake pads / rotors failed. The front brake rotors warped and were replaced by dealer at 10,000 miles. However all repairs were done under warranty but the rotors have now warped again at 22,000 miles, dealer will not make repairs.
