Consumer stated that the brakes were soft. The front end shimmied when braking. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the rotors were warped and needed front pads. Also, the consumer was told that a sub standard brake system was installed by the manufacturer. The dealer offered to turn the rotors and replace the pads with an upgrade. The consumer stated the brake system on the 2004 models were too small.

Consumer complained about multiple brake problems. While driving and attempting to apply brakes he heard a grinding noise. Then vehicle shook and vibrated. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, and was told by the dealer that they were having a nation wide problem with the brakes due to manufacturer's design flaw. Consumer indicated that when he took vehicle to the dealer they put new brake pads and resurfaced the rotors when the vehicle was just a month old.
