Hahaha holy shit...how did the rear brakes go from not even applying any pressure at all, causing you to stop in the middle of intersections to wearing out the pads in no time at all? You’re so full of ******** it’s unbelievable. :ban2::ban:

HERE IS the time line... sorry if you got mixed up on it

bought


Stopping issue, longer stops then expected stopping, stopping in middle of street (i.e light goes stale green, yellow then red)
MY CITY SPEEDS ARE 45 to 60MPH Typical with the most common being 45 or 50mph

all 4 wheels locked up (with full momentary power loss Engine STILL RUNNING


that is when the issue started getting worse.. after 30 miles of the full momentary power loss

Rear passenger side started dragging...or (squealing) (when there is noise there is friction making said noise)


Currently Grinding sound at 'low speed' slow downs. that started with in the last 200 miles. when brake is applied and squealing is worse on rear passenger side while not pressed..


Fuel consumption has increased in the city see my fuelly log

Let’s see if I got it:

A vehicle was bought that had a mistake on the title in regards to the mileage. The dealership isn’t helping but there is something called a surety bond that gives leverage over the dealership. On top of that, the rear brakes don’t work/never worked and it takes too long to stop sometimes and there is metal to metal contact on the rotors but it’s usually not an issue because of the use of regenerative braking due to it being a hybrid. The current issue appears to be related to an unknown fuel consumption issue.

If I missed any of the major points, I’m sorry. But I feel like we need Barbara Billingsly to reprise her role in airplane so she can translate jive-talk for us.
