Consumer Description

FAULTY BRAKES-IN DEC,2002, HAD TO HIT BRAKES WHEN VEHICLE PULLED IN FRONT OF ME. I IMMEDIATELY LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE-NO STEERING- AND CAR SPUN SEVERAL TIMES. APPEARED BRAKES LOCKED UP EVEN THOUGH I HAVE ABS SYSTEM. *JB 2/2003-SAME THING. WAS COUPLE LENGTHS BEHIND VEHICLE WHEN CAR IN FRONT SUDDENLY PULLED TO LEFT LANE BECAUSE A VEH HAD ALMOST STOPPED IN ROAD. WHEN I PUSHED ON BRAKES, THEY AGAIN LOCKED UP WITH NO STEERING CONTROL CAUSING ME TO HIT VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME EVEN THOUGH I WAS TRYING TO STEER VEHICLE OFF INTO EMER LANE. WAS GOING ABOUT 55 AND AIR BAGS DID NOT EVEN DEPLOY. HAD PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES/TIRES SQUEAKING IN 12/2001 & TOOK IN FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM & WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY BUT CAR STILL CLICKED DURING TURNS.
