Service brakes 45 mi 1.0 yr in service
WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE OF 2019, AND HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. TO THIS DATE THEY HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT WHAT IS CAUSING IT, BUT IT CAUSES THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO LOSE POWER MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO BRAKE. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALER JUST TO KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL THEY FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON.
