“I was going about 25 MPH when the truck ahead of me stopped. I hit the brake pedal hard and the brake pedal seemed hard as if it wasn't moving and my car just kept moving forward resulting in rear ending the truck ahead of me. I checked the brake fluid level after the car was towed home and the fluid level looked okay maybe down a little. Have never changed out the brake fluid and had the brakes recently checked by lew scwab tires brakes new brake shoes front and rear brakes okay”

Are they crazy my white paint also peeled but they wont fix it. So I have a shorted out module leak in my front and rear windows and a two colored car they should go bankrupt.”
NHTSA complaint #10349485, filed 2010-08, 50,000 miles“The hood release cable broke internally in the cable guide. When this happens there is no way to open the hood. Not just for repair and maintenance, but emergency situations. The cable is routed between the radiator and the core support. Tye only way to open the hood is to pry it up damaging the hood, the upper core support, and possibly the condensor.”
