problem #1

Apr 142002

(reported on)

Montero 4WD

  • miles
Replaced brakes (front and rear) at 18000 miles. Will have to do it again at 27000 miles. Brakes are woefully undersized for weight of the vehicle. Rotors overheat and warp which makes stopping a bone shaking experience. Resurfacing rotors only provides temporary relief. Brake system should be redesigned an properly sized - current systems should be replaced immediately before someone dies.
