The brakes have numerous problems with this car since purcahsed. Resulting in frequent repair, inconvenience, safety concerns and other problems. Was told today by a brake specialist that the reason why the front brakes keep wearing fast is that the rear brakes do not work. Nlm

At one time engine check engine light went on, it was the fuel injection, then I had the brake pads replaced, not even two months later I had to get them replaced again, thats including the drums, that was because it would vibrate and when releasing the brake it would make a pop sound. After 8 months of having the vehicle the battery went dead one day I had the car towed to the dealership. The car smells like smoke. I had it check because it shifts hard and it hesitates all the time, they told me it was okay.
