Vehicle is subject to erratic acceleration with no warning. Tires squeal after a delayed reaction when shifted into gear, lunging hard. Please describe details.
While driving vehicle makes grinding noise in rear end. Rear end has been replaced three times for same reason. Please provide any further information, and identification number.
Since 37,000 miles, rotors were warped, with braking pulsation-machined. #2 warped rotors within 3 mo. New rotors. Warped rotors within 3 mo. Rotors machined-new brake pads. Another three months rotors warped. And grinding noice when brake pedal fully engaged. Believe a design flaw to be present causing the rotors to warp continually. This manifests into pulsation when braking more often than not.

The front disc brake rotors can experience severe corrosion if operated for an extensive period in the "salt belt." if the rotors are not replaced, the corrosion can eventually compromise the structural integrity of the stamped steel center hub section of the rotor.
- Risk
- The reduced strength can allow the cast iron wear surface to separate from the hub, reducing the brake effectiveness of the vehicle.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace these rotors with rotors that are coated with a corrosion protection.
