SINCE NEW THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT BRAKES IN WET WEATHER. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, AND WHEN IT DOES VEHICLE IS HARD TO STOP. IT FEELS LIKE ABS IS ENGAGING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND PROBLEM, BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE WE PURCHASED IT. IT HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS AND ON NORMAL BRAKING (NOT HARD BRAKING). WE HAVE COMPLAINED SINCE JUNE OF THIS YEAR AND HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 5 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. WE FEAR THAT IN AN EMERGENCY THE ABS WILL NOT WORK LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. OUR ISSUE IS THAT THE DEALER CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM. IT DOESN'T RAIN MUCH HERE SO IT'S HARD TO PREDICT. IT EVEN HAPPENS WHEN WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO THE DEALER BUT WILL NOT HAPPEN AFTER THAT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.*AK

BOTH DOORS LEAK WHEN RAINING AND SOAK BACK CARPET, CONSUMER STATES IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME. *AK
