NHTSA complaint #10018386, filed 2003-05, 11,000 miles“I bought my vehicle new 7 months ago. Now the brake system is getting worse. The front-end, steering wheel, shakes violently when I apply the brakes during normal driving. I took the car to the dealership to inquire about the problem 3 days ago, and the service man told me it was probably warped front rotors so I made an appointment for today. I went in and the service man (a different one) told me that they could fix it, but that it wasn't covered under warranty. This is what upsets me most. The vehicle is still under the warranty period. …”
NHTSA complaint #726195, filed 2000-07“While driving, a loud noise was heard coming from the front of the vehicle. The consumer drove the vehicle to the dealer.
