What owners say
While driving 35-40 MPH and applying brakes there was a grinding noise, and vehicle pulled to the left. Consumer inspected brakes, brake pad had ground into the rotor. Consumer replaced left front rotor.
After regular tire rotation at 28,000 miles, the car started to pull to the right (the side where the defective tires were on), the steering was jerky and an audible thrumming could be heard. It was noticeable as slow as 10 MPH and grew increasingly worse as the vehicle sped up. When we had the vehicle inspected at three different locations, they all concluded that tire separation was the cause and was the possible cause of the car being out of alignment. We corrected the alignment and purchased four new tires (yokohama) and the problems are gone.( dot number: w2b0 tire size: 215/50r16 )
Excessive wear of the front brake rotors and pads. Upon acceleration vehicle pulls to the right. Also, alternator fuse has blown twice, dealer has put in a larger fuse, but did not solve problem. Dealer has yet to determine the cause. *ak
I have had the car in 3 seperate times for the front brakes. They continue to grind and the car pulls to the right or left. I have noticed a decrease in brake performance.
