I was driving in the evening returning home-i braked for the red light and heard metal on metal on the passenger side of my vehicle and jerked to a stop-i had to have emergency repairs done-failure of the calipers, roger and laser only on the passenger side of the car. *jb

Every time i take my car in for maintenance they tell me there is a list of recalls on it so i took it to the local dealer and was told there were none but my car has the problems that are listed on their recall,so i call the dealer and was told there were recalls but the time had lapsed for me to get it fix,i never recieved a recall notice from the dealer and because i was not the orignal owner and they had no service records on the car.but they should still have to fix the recalls for safety reasons.i have already paid to have brakes and burnt valves in a motor that is 4 years old and has only 67,000 miles. *ak

While applying his brakes,the pedal is very loose to the fact that there is a little braking power. please fill in additional information dealer. ph

Lost control of the car. tried to overcorrect the car and turned the wheel too hard, the brakes locked and i lost control of the car and rolled it on its roof. there was sufficient frontal impact that the airbags should have been deployed, but didn't. also, it was a new car, so the brakes should not have locked.
