In August of 2006 I had taken my car in for brakes. Coming to find out my brakes were bad, I needed new rotors and my wheel cylinders blew out. Causing me to lose my brakes one day on my way to work. Had the vehicle towed in to have it fixed. Called the dealer they said there is no complaints on this. Had the car fixed.. took them 6 hours to bleed the brakes. Took the car home, the next morning went to leave and had no brakes again. Had it towed back to shop. Had to bleed brakes again, then in December I went to leave for work and the brake pedal went to the floor, I had no brakes. Got the car to the same shop that fixed it the first time. Coming to find out the wheel cylinders blew out again causing brake fluid to leak all over my brakes. They had to replace my wheel cylinders and brakes. They wante to charge me labor since they said it was a defective part. I refused to pay the labor. We told them not to touch the car until we called them back. (I think they knew I was calling someone else) they called me back not even 5 minutes later and they offered to eat the cost of the labor. So it was fixed for nothing and to this day it still acts up. I think this should be a safety recall on this since I read more of the same thing happening to others.
