MY EMERGENCY BRAKE HANDLE WITH PART OF THE METAL ROD STILL INTAKE BROKE OFF WHILE RELEASING IT. IT WAS ONLY AFTER THE FACT THAT I RECALLED A FEW TIMES WHEN I HAD THOUGHT I HAD RELEASED IT BUT THE INDICATOR LIGHT STILL REMAINED ON. I CALLED MY DEALER THEY ORDERED A "BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY AND HANDLE" SINCE IT IS ALL ONE UNIT. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN THAT THIS MUST BE A DEFECT TO BOTH THE DEALER AND CORPORATE BUT SINCE I WAS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I STILL HAVE ONLY THE BROKEN HANDLE WITH METAL ATTACHED. I WAS INFORMED THE FIRST REPLACEMENT PART WAS "BROKE" AND AWAITED A SECOND REPLACEMENT. THE ASSEMBLY HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED. *TR

DT: VEHICLE VIBRATED WHILE DRIVING AT A CERTAIN SPEED AND PULLED TO THE RIGHT. TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS LIGHTS WERE ON. BRAKES WERE SO HOT THAT THEY WERE ABOUT TO MELT. THE PEDAL WAS REAL MUSHY AND SPONGY, AND FAILED AT AN INTERSECTION AFTER PICKING VEHICLE UP FROM SERVICE DEALER.
