I had to replace the brakes on this car at 6,000 miles. Since then, I have had to replace them on a yearly occurrence, as well as rotors and wheel bearings. The breaks always sound like they are grinding and vibrating. I have had issues with the ABS light coming on. It has been 7 months since I had the rotors replaced, and I need new breaks again.
