This line of vehicles also has 2 other major complaints from many owners, 1st is a problem with the front brakes squealing this was identified in the 2001 model year, a tsb was issued and the 2002 model has the identical problem. the second issue is the engine running rough at idle. again a tsb was issued but the problem was not corrected in the 2002 model year. the main problem that was reported here was due to the brake pedal sinking to the floor when the pedal was depressed. additionally, brake fluid was found leaking from the top of the master cylinder reservoir. *ak |
