Example complaints

“Pressing the brake pedal when going over a bump or patchy road the car seems to lose control. It feels like the brake calipers have let go and the sensation of a car lunging forward with no driver control. I have experienced this when traveling under 50mph and I've had to hit the brakes in an abrupt fashion. This has occurred multiple times in the past year.”
