Dealer reported that master cylinder failed, had to replace along with front brake shoes and pads, rotors turned. We were charged for all this, dealer charged that it was normal wear and tear. We have found numerous other people who have experienced the same problem. Think that master cylinder is a defective part..unfair to charge owners for this...could lead to serious crashes, mine failed without warning!

The driver's side seatback bends to the right, causing the seat to be in a cocked position. The dealer has replaced the seat twice prior to this. Also replaced leaking master cylinder/leaking power steering pump.
