The brakes on this car have been replaced 8 times and each time was a premature wearing and most of the time covered under warranty. I paid $100.oo deductible I think 5 times. On 4/11/00 the dealership told me it was not a warranty covered item and so I had to pay for it. Then on 6/28/00 the new reason they gave me for the premature wearing was that I needed heavy duty brakes on the rear. I paid $401 for that and they covered the front brakes under warranty at this time. I was also told numereous times it was a factory defect and they would take care of it. It is still a constant problem and now they have given me a new reason for the premature wearing of the brakes. I am afraid to drive my car for fear the brakes will give out while I am going fast.
