NHTSA complaint #10596774, filed 2014-06, 60,000 miles“Vehicle pulls to the left when applying brakes. I had the front brakes replaced and rotors turned last month at 32,095 actual miles. The problem of pulling to the left continues when brakes are applied. When brakes are released, it pulls to the right--it doesn't release. In case of an emergency stop, it pulls to the left, then right, then left, then right. I was told I need to replace the brake pressure modulator valve to correct this problem. This will cost approximately $1100.00. I feel this should not happen at this low mileage.”
