In owners' own words
I leased the vehicle on 2/2022, months later I started having braking problems. The dealer stated the brakes squeals only in the morning, but the brakes squeals throughout the day while I am driving. A water leaked was fixed, however, the carpet remains in the car and on back order, also the smell effects my pregnant wife. If we were told brakes would be squealing we wouldn't have purchased the vehicle. Service brakes
When I start driving the vehicle after it has been sitting for a little while (anywhere between a couple hours to overnight), the first few times I use the brakes, it sounds and feels like the brakes. are grinding. There is a loud metallic grinding noise until I come to a full stop. This will last for several miles, and eventually go away. Sometime, the vehicle sliding up or stop too before I expected Service brakes
Upon breaking its a grinding at time with squeaking. Iâve taken concern 2-3 times now to dealership and they say thereâs nothing wrong with breaks. They have given me no resolution in fixing. It happens on a daily. Depending how breaking happens. Iâve never owned a vehicle that had this issue and for a dealership not to fix. Service brakes
