Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)WHEN I WAS GOING ON HIGHWAY I FELT REALLY SHAKY STEERING. SO WHEN I GET OUT AND CHECK THE TIRES MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE DISK WAS REALLY HOT. I WAITED LITTLE BIT AND I TRIED TO KEEP GOING TO HOME. HOWEVER IT WAS KEEP GETTING REALLY WARM AND CAUSING THE CAR PULLING ONE SIDE AND SHAKING ON THE STEERING WHEEL. NEXT DAY WHEN I CHECK MY BRAKES AND BRAKE CALIPERS I FOUND OUT MY BRAKE CALIPER WAS SEIZED. AFTER A FEW SEARCHING ON INTERNET I FOUND OUT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I THINK IT MIGHT CAUSE A BIG PROBLEMS AND EVEN ACCIDENTS.
