I purchase this vehicle two years ago from Bleekers Auto in Dunn. I have had the breaks replaced at least 5 times. The rotors have been replaced two times and now as of the day August 17, 2012 my vehicle is in the shop for repairs again after putting just 6,000 miles. The company has made me lose many hours from work and so much money.
