Example complaints

“The vehicle loses brake pressure at the pedals halfway point when decelerating and attempting to come to a complete stop. The brake pressure is not consistent and requires pushing the pedal to the floor which will grab and release and grab again. The dealerships refuse to acknowledge or test for this. A recall has been issued. A repair has been attempted without resolve. I need your help with independent testing to confirm this.”
