Re: Break System Light

Had this problem corrected last weekend. I asked about the greasing on the wheel and the dealer said that was not the problem. There was a "Brake Kit" recall that was performed and it solved the problem.

Before the recall service was performed I had the same problems as other mentioned before, Amber 'Brake System" light, no 'Auto-Stop', and difficulty getting the car into reverse or out of Park. After the service, everything is just fine.

Re: Break System Light

Neg. camber would cause the inside of the rear tires to wear, would it not? H

Woobie06,
the overgreasing issue was on the steering wheel column, not the wheels (rims)

Re: Break System Light

I'm sorry, I meant steering wheel. Anyway, the mechanic/service tech at the dealership indicated the STEERING WHEEL greasing issue was not the root cause of the problem. I will be more careful when I post next time.

Re: Break System Light

That's cool.
I've never heard about this "Brake Kit" recall. Any idea what it was?
