In owners' own words
Brakes failed 3 times without warning. The first time mechanic replaced master cylinder that he says was leaking. The next day brakes failed again & computer box next to master cylinder was replaced. Brakes worked for one month & without warning, went down to floor again. Computer has to be replaced again & we are in fear of driving it since there is no warning when brakes fail.

Consumer was driving approx 35-40 mph, went to hit brakes & received no response, no brakes action, no warning light, put brakes to floor, no response. In order to slow down and avoid an accident, had to pull emergency brake which caused the vehicle to do a 180 degree spin, the vehicle has no prior brake problem history. Weather was sunny/dry.

Consumer is complaiing of four sets of brake pads had to be replaced within 58000 miles of wear,even though dealer replaced & repaired them without cost to the consumer because warranty still being ineffect. But this condition still needs to be investigated because it is not a normal condition. Dealer notified. Service brakes, hydraulic
