RE: O/T how BAD
Really, me too. The brakes went out on the way to work. I had to bring my car to a stop with my hand brake! That just compounds the other nagging issues with that car , like a broken exhaust that the manufacturer won't stand behind, L RR door won't lock/unlock with the button, R RR door won't open due to a clip in the door breaking, the car burns 1 - 2 quarts between oil changes (7500 mi interval) at 165000 miles. Heck, the car is only 10 years old! There is a component to all this which makes it worse, but I can't comment on it here.
Well, I guess I'm only out $550 so I can't complain too loud.
