Example complaints

“I was driving into a bank's teller machine line when I noticed that two brake problem indicator lights came on the dashboard. Then, I noticed that my brakes almost completely failed. I had to shift to neutral to stop the car, which took all the foot pressure I could muster. In march, 1999, I took the car into cutter dodge when the brake indicator light cvmae on and the brake became much weaker. I paid more than $431.00 plus tax to have the brakes repaired there, which included replacing brake accumulator assembly. Now, 6 months later, the brakes failed much more suddenly and completely. …”
