“Within in the past year I have had to have my entire rear brake system repaired and they keep stating that the emergency park brake is malfunctioning and getting stuck. I have had those parts replaced and now I being told again that the same problem is occurring. There has to be an issue with the brake system that keeps causing this to happen after repairs have been made.”

“I was parked with my vehicle off. When I turned on my vehicle and put it in reverse to back out of my parking spot I heard a small pop and the brake pedal had a lot more give to it. I was able to push it all the way to the floor. While driving, I had to push it to the floor to slow my vehicle. I was able to safely make it to my mechanic who luckily was only 1 mile away. He told me the front right brake line was ruptured and that this is almost unheard of in a car that's only 4 years old.”
